Hair-repelling sofa covers

You might be surprised that hair-repelling sofa covers are one of the most sought-after gifts for pet parents. While most everyone loves snuggling on the couch with their pups, no one likes the mess of fur everywhere. Get the best of both worlds with a hair-repelling, machine-washable sofa cover.




A colorful leash and harness


A tie-dye harness with matching leash — need we say more? Gift your amigos a colorful harness, leash, or dog accessory from Pawmigo to add a little style to their strolls.




A customized or digital photo frame

Buy or make a customized photo frame with your friend’s woofer's name and print off their picture to put inside. Alternatively, you can get them a digital frame that will switch between all their favorite pet pictures. Preload with puppy pics ahead of time to really impress!




A monthly subscription to a treat or dog toy box


What's more fun than a monthly subscription for toys and treats? Your dog-loving friend will love getting a monthly surprise like Pupbox for their fur-babies  — plus, it's the gift that keeps giving!

Doggy cam (with or without a treat dispenser)

Puppy cams are one of the best gift ideas for dog lovers since it will allow them to see their pup while they're away. Some models even have a built-in treat dispenser — how cool is that?




Homemade treat bags

Good quality shampoo and conditioner

                      

No money for a grooming certificate? That's okay! Buy your dog-loving

pal some quality dog care essentials to keep their pup smelling "furrific" year-round. They'll be thanking you for those fresh-scented cuddles until July!

We recommend the Evergreen Grooming Kit from Skout's Honor. This shampoo-conditioner and deodorizer gift set comes in lovely fragrances like Dog of the Woods (sandalwood vanilla), Honeysuckle, and Lavendar. "Pawfect" for the nature-loving Newfy in your life!




Dog books

Ball launcher

If your fellow dog lover's arm isn't what it used to be, gift them a ball launcher. Besides upping their fetch game, a launcher will help them bond with their pet!

Automatic food and water dispensers are another great gift idea for busy dog lovers. Your friend will appreciate the help on those busy mornings when they're rushing out the door.
