Top 18 Christmas Gifts for Dog Lovers in 2019


Do you know someone who loves dogs more than people? Do you find it hard to find a unique Christmas gift for the dog lover in your life? 

Whether they're into the latest pet tech gadgets, love the great outdoors, a budding designer or would prefer to receive a gift that helps animal welfare, we have lots of suggestions in our 2019 Christmas Gift Guide for Dog Lovers.


Animo, the behaviour monitor that tracks every bark, scratch, shake or itch of your dog, and is the perfect present for your pooch and you, this Christmas.
Plus, Animo will last far longer than Christmas day. It’s designed to stay with your dog for its entire lifetime, monitoring and reporting changes in your pet's day-to-day activity and behaviour patterns as they grow older.

Used with the Sure Petcare Animo app, Animo can track how long your dog has been active for each day, records when your dog last exercised, how many calories are burnt and how well your dog sleeps each night.

It can also help you notice significant changes in behaviour such as barking, scratching and shaking, which could be an indication of ill health or distress.

Lightweight and durable, Animo is a collar mounted device with a 6-month battery life (one coin cell battery included) and waterproof with an IP67 rating, so it's ideal for dogs who like to swim or roll in the mud.

RRP: $99.99 from www.surepetcare.com/animo




At the end of a long day, our four-legged friends love to rest their weary bones. Now you can give your precious pooch the soothing and relaxing massage they deserve. 

The Petssager is an innovative multi-function, Pet Grooming & Massage Brush that is rechargeable and waterproof. 

Pet massage might sound like a luxury for pampered pooches only, however there are many health benefits too! Massage stimulates the body’s nerves, muscles, circulatory system and lymphatic system. It enhances range of motion, increases the supply of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells and helps relieve muscle pain.

The Petssager is also a great grooming brush that will shed, shampoo, slick, shine and massage all areas of the body. It will gently remove loose hair, dirt and dander while adding shine to your dog’s coat.

Available in 3 colours, it comes with a one year manufacturer's warranty.

RRP: $75.00 from www.petssager.co

Either feeder is extremely reliable with the option for battery or to be plugged into the wall, leaving you with peace of mind that your fur baby has been fed.

Sleepypod is a 3-in-1 product: it’s an everyday pet bed, a stylish carrier and a safe car seat.

Sleepypod reduces stress by allowing your pet to travel safely in the comfort and familiarity of their own bed. 

When at home, Sleepypod’s Ultra Plush padded base can be easily positioned in a favourite corner, on a table top with a view, or even in a dark closet providing your pet a comfortable space of their very own. The top section is removable and it comes with an optional shoulder strap.

Sleepypod is a comfortable carrier for pets on the go!

The dense middle layer ensures stability to reduce anxiety. Sides zip up to make a cocooned bed in the back seat area, or it can be fitted into the back of a SUV or station wagon.

There is seat belt access for a dog harness, a passenger or a child’s car seat. It is machine washable but hair and dirt also wipe off easily by hand or brush.
