Top 20 Christmas Gifts for Dog Lovers

Most of us are routinely accused of being "crazy dog lovers" or "dog nuts" - which we personally see as a compliment... Chances are that you surround yourself with friends who love dogs and animals as much as you do! One sure way to make them happy this Christmas is to give them a gift for their dogs(s) or at least one that acknowledges their love of dogs.

We searched high and low to select our 20 personal favourites from homewares and fashion, jewellery, accessories, christmas cards, calendars and coffee table books that assist rescue shelters, not to forget the ever popular tech gadgets! Happy Christmas shopping!







For the dog lover who shares everything with their pooch, why not wrap yourself and your furry pal(s) in one of these heavenly 100% cotton roundies from Growl Towels!

Designed to share, this round towel is 1.5m in diameter so there is plenty of towel to roll around on, snuggle into or spread across! It can be used as a traditional beach towel, a picnic rug or around the home to protect your favourite chair from dog hair and dog claws.

The velour side provides a comfy soft warm surface for you and your dog’s pleasure, whilst the natural cotton is cooler and absorbent in summer too.

Their black & white version won the 2016 Family Choice Award in the USA but any of the designs would look great in any Australian home or by the pool this summer!
