Best Christmas Gift Ideas for your Dogs

Our dogs are part of the family so of course, they will be included in all the celebrations and receive their own Christmas presents! 

Whether you're looking for some festive treats, go the whole way with a Christmas outfit or you're planning to leave a whole stack of gifts under the tree for your pooch, here are our top picks for Christmas 2016! 





The interactive Zippy Burrow from Zippy Paws got a festive makeover! This dog toy set comes with three squeaky candies and a plush gift bag. Made from flexible, soft material, your dog can chew, bite, and play with this Santa's Gift Bag without any harm.

This interactive, soft plush hide-and-seek toy is best suited for small to medium-sized dogs.

To make this hide-and-seek game more challenging, teach your dog to put the toys in the gift bag and pull them out again. For an extra rewarding play, you could try hiding treats inside the gift bag.

Previously only available in Slate Grey, this geometric puzzle toy has lightened up and now offers fun and intellectual stimulation in pink (Rose Quartz to be precise)!

This challenging piece is beautifully designed, with differently sized holes for different treats, and if you’re into design, it will fit in seamlessly with your home. Of course your dog won’t care how it looks, they’ll just see fun, exercise and best of all, food! 
At 9.1 x 9.6 x 8.4 cm, it’s big enough for larger dogs not to swallow and light enough for smaller ones to tussle with easily.

The Little Buddy Heart Beat Sheep is the ideal toy for little pups and a great Christmas gift for the new puppy in your life! 
Keeping a little heat pack - or a ticking clock or a blanket with your scent on it -with your puppy when he/she's alone can help with separation anxiety.

This unique toy by All For Paws has a faint heartbeat, which is nestled inside its stuffing. The intermittent vibrations will calm your puppy and help reduce stress when left alone. Puppies grow up in a litter so they're used to sleeping next to their brothers and sisters. When they leave the litter they won't necessarily have that same sense of security.

That's where the Little Buddy Heart Beat Sheep can help with providing a soft toy to cuddle and a little heartbeat to calm your puppy.
