Best gifts for dog lovers (for every kind of pooch person)

Whether your dog-loving pal has a special birthday coming up or you’re looking for the ideal gift for your favorite dog sitter, we’re here to help with this tail-waggingly good list of gifts for dog lovers. From funny and unique gifts, to the best gifts for dog walkers and even a few gift ideas that won’t break the piggy bank, we’ve got something for every (pooch-loving) person right here. So, without further ado, let’s get into it…

Best gifts for dog walkers 

Kicking us off: it's the dog walking clan. We think these dog walking gift ideas are the perfect way to show the dog walker in your life just how much you appreciate them. 

For instance, take the Cocopup London sage leopard poop bag holder. There’s no better way to help your favorite dog walker stay on top of things (so to speak), and truly, we don’t think we’ve ever seen a poop bag dispenser look so… well, chic. Dog walking is no mean feat, which is why the Joules dog print wellies will come in super handy for dog walkers - especially on those cold, wet, winter mornings! - while a reusable lint roller is sure to go down a treat, all-year-round. 

Of course, if you’re looking for dog walker gifts that are a little less practical (and a lot more luxury!), then this so-called 'Dog Walker Survival' kit - complete with a hand balm, lip balm, candle, and body cream - could be just the ticket. For extra measure, though, we’ve thrown in a few more gifts for dog walking pet lovers below - and here they are:

• Cocopup sage leopard poop bag holder
• Joules dog print wellies
• Dog Walker Survival Kit
• FURLIMINATE reusable lint roller
• TUDEQU 4-in-1 hands free dog walking waist bag
• Dog walker hardcover notebook
• Best dog walker mug
• ‘This is my dog walking sweatshirt’ shirt

What’s better than finding the perfect gift for dog lovers? A personalized dog gift - duh! 

From tote bags custom-made with a photo of your pooch to pet photo jigsaw puzzles, it’s true: personalized gifts have a definite 'wow' factor. This silver pet portrait keychain is made with an ultra-detailed likeness, and will allow your pet-loving recipient to carry their pup around with them wherever they go - much like these custom pet socks! 

Ever wished there were two of your dogs to snuggle up to in the evenings? While it’s not (quite) as furry, we love these custom pet throw pillows - and we’re almost certain any other dog lover would, too! Here are a few more personalized gift ideas to ponder:

We love these royal-style pet portraits that transform dogs into a true piece of art, and help them look every inch the regal ruler they were always destined to be! Or, if your pal’s pet rules the roost (and let’s be honest - they probably do), this fun personalized door mat tells it exactly like it is. 

If you’re still scratching your head wondering what to get the dog lover who’s already got everything, why not consider a donation to a dog or pet charity of their choice? Otherwise, find a few more gift ideas for one-of-a-kind dog lovers below:
