In preparation for the season of mince pies and mulled wine, we ran a festive poll among our Gudog community of dog owners.
Unsurprisingly, 93% said they’ll be buying a present for their pooch this Christmas, with 83% wrapping it to boot!
For those of you who aren’t channelling Scrooge this year, we thought we’d round up our top pressie picks so you can find the paw-fect gift.
You’re sure to be rewarded with a grateful nuzzle and a very waggy tail!
What should I buy my dog for Christmas?
From yummy treats to customised crackers, here’s our pick of the best Christmas presents for dogs…
1. Three Bird Feast, Lily’s Kitchen
We all feel a little guilty, tucking into our festive feasts with those puppy-dog eyes nearby. Why not include your furball in the good cheer?
For a top-quality canine lunch, treat the resident pooch to a Lily’s Kitchen Three Bird Feast. Chock-a-block with naturally tasty ingredients, even the most discerning dog will wolf down this medley of turkey, goose, duck, cranberries and parsnips.
Delivery: Standard delivery to UK and Ireland addresses only in 1-3 working days. International delivery not available.
2. Little Paw Care, Lila Loves It
Winter is harsh on our four-legged friends’ little paws. Snow, grit and salt can cause soreness and discomfort, making our pups a little less jolly around Christmastime.
Want to get your hound the perfect protective balm? Treat them to a pot of Lila Loves It Organic Little Paw Care, a gorgeous blend of calendula, deer tallow and coconut oil.
Delivery: Available across Europe, for postage costs and timings see here.
3. Colour Block Knitted Dog Jumper, Fetch & Follow
Your pup can celebrate in toasty style once they’ve popped on their new lambswool knit!
Pairing together Christmassy shades of fir green and rosy red, this beautiful doggy jumper will keep mutts prone to the shivers nice and warm, so they’ll happily head out for wintery walks.
Delivery: Last day for online orders with a European delivery address 12th December. Last day for online orders with a UK delivery address 17th December.
5. Star Studs Collar, Pets Pyjamas
Light up your pup’s Christmas with this bright, seasonal collar. A cheerful shade of red, studded with stars, it’s made from the most luxurious Spanish saddle leather, so will age and soften up like a dream.
Delivery: Available to mainland and non-mainland UK, for postage costs and timings see here.
6. Luxury Personalised Christmas Cracker, Chapterful
Fun and games are most definitely not exclusive to us humans. Your furball is bound to sulk if they’re left out of festive frolics, especially the cracker-pulling ceremony.
Why not spoil them with their very own personalised Christmas cracker? Eco-friendly, handmade and adorned with your canine’s name, a paper hat, joke and gourmet doggy biscuit are hidden inside – entertainment for all the family.
Delivery: Available across Europe, for postage costs and timings see here.
7. Wool Christmas Pudding Dog Toy, Mutts & Hounds
Doggos may not be able to sample a real-life Christmas pud (dried grapes are a no-no for mutts), but they’ll proudly trot around with this fun, ball-shaped replica.
Pooches love the scent and soft texture of natural wool, so this elegant, hand-felted toy will go down a storm – bonus: it contains zero synthetic filler and is biodegradable. Ideal for fetch and play, it’s quite the cute stocking filler for gentler chewers and smaller pups.
Delivery: Available internationally – see Christmas timings here. Last day for online orders with a European delivery address 16th December. Last day for online orders with a UK delivery address 23rd December.
8. Dog Snuggle Bed in Velour, Charley Chau
Your pooch will snooze like a Christmas angel in the sumptuous Snuggle Bed, created by Charley Chau, a brand only the coolest hounds know about.
Its ingenious design caters to the canine instinct to burrow, incorporating a handy hood for all-night snuggling. The glamorous yet durable velour cover will fit right in with your festive decorations – better yet, it’s machine-washable.
Delivery: Available internationally, for postage costs and timing see here and here.
9. Christmas Doggy Donuts Selection Box, Chelsea Dogs
Eco-friendly doggy donuts (that can be personalised) on Christmas day. Need we say more?
Delivery: Available to mainland and non-mainland UK, for postage costs and timings see here.
10. Drinkwell Ceramic Avalon Pet Fountain, PetSafe
At such a magical time of year, it’s easy to forget the dreaded p-word: practicality. Picked as part of a Blue Cross Healthy Pets edit, the Ceramic Avalon Pet Fountain helps boost your pooch’s wellbeing by tempting them to drink more water.
Pioneered by a vet, this clever, easily cleaned fountain capitalises on your furball’s natural urge to inspect moving water. Pets can enjoy two litres of filtered water, drinking from one of two circular dishes.
Delivery: Available to mainland and non-mainland UK, for postage costs and timings see here.
11. Metallic Dog Lead (Gold), Dogatella
The season of sparkles equals the perfect excuse to purchase an ostentatious dog lead. Fine Italian leather? Check. High-shine gold finish? Check. Handmade? Check.
Be prepared: this Dogatella lead will make your four-legged partner the talk of the park.
Delivery: Available internationally, for postage costs and timings see here.
12. Buffalo Check Blanket, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home
Not every hound is as fortunate as yours this season – many are still looking for their forever homes. What could be more heart-warming than giving back to the canine community and letting your doggo know how much you love them, all at the same time?
Keep your dog cosy over Christmas with this adorable buffalo check blanket from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home shop.
