To prevent this embarrassment, we’ve compiled our top 10 Christmas presents for your precious pooch, with these there will be no need to include a gift receipt.

Tug-e-nuff Sheepskin chaser Tug
Available at Tug-e-nuff
Recommended as a fun interactive toy to help with bonding and to bring out your dog’s chase instinct. These bungee chaser toys are also a great training tool. They can be used as a tug toy and as a strong motivator to kickstart your dog’s recall. They come in various shapes and sizes, colours, and patterns. And if your dog is ball obsessed, there is also the bungee chaser with tennis ball range. The intelligent design also includes a “bungee” cord to reduce jerking movements that come with classic tug games; which reduce strain to your dog’s neck and your shoulder.
Equafleece dog jumper
Available from Equifleece
High quality dog wear made in Devon, these jumpers will protect your pet from the rain and cold, while still made in a breathable fabric. A thorough sizing guide is available to allow a perfect fit and is available in a range of colours. These coats are perfect for wet and cold walks.
Cocopuplondon Reindeer Drying Robe
Available at Cocopuplondon
I challenge you to find anything cuter for Christmas; a beautiful drying robe for your pup with reindeer ears and nose. Made of premium microfibre for optimum drying, these robes can be used either after bath time or after those wet winter walks. Available in small, medium and large, these robes will fit most dogs well. Machine washable is of course a necessary feature!
Lily’s Kitchen festive turkey jerky
Available from Lily’s Kitchen
With only eight ingredients and 68% turkey, this jerky treat from Lily’s kitchen is a great treat for the festive period. The recipe is also grain free and has a chewy texture which is so loved by our mutts. Reviews report it passes the taste test for even fussy eaters. And is grain free so inclusive for our sensitive pups. These treats are also available at large retailers such as PetsatHome and Amazon when bought as a multipack.
Masbrill light up dog collar
Available from Amazon
A must have for walks in the dark, these collars stand out from other light up collars on the market due to their long battery life, easy USB recharging and waterproof technology. These are also suitable for most sizes of dogs, with sizing ranging from XS to L and an adjustable buckle to allow a perfect fit. They also have a ring to allow use as a normal collar and to attach a clip lead. With a single button allowing easy switching between the three modes (slow flash, fast flash and steady light) these collars are also very easy to use.
Kong rewards ball
Available from Jurassic Bark Online
This is a fun toy your dog can play with by themselves, allowing some peace and quiet to give you time to put the turkey in the oven. Just fill up with your dog’s kibble or treats, and the ball will randomly dispense individual pieces as it is rolled around. Made of a durable rubber and with an irregular shape that gives an unpredictable bounce, this toy will have your dog mentally stimulated and napping contentedly before you can say “brussel sprouts”.
Willowstep: original raised dog feeder
Available from Willowstep
Made for our short-nosed dog friends (French bulldogs, British bulldogs, pugs and Boston terriers to name a few), these raised feeders are designed to reduce common problems these breeds suffer with while eating, such as regurgitation and swallowing. Both of which reduce the chance of aspiration pneumonia which can easily affect these dogs. These feeders are also fully customisable with your choice of colour and your dog’s name can be added.
Pets at Home Memory Foam Square Dog Bed Grey
Available from Pets At Home
Sporting raised sides and a soft inner lining, this memory foam dog bed is a budget friendly dog bed, without compromising on quality. Machine washable coverings also allow sanitary cleaning. This bed will keep your dog cosy and warm, we only wish there was a small version available, with sizes available in a medium and large.
Lickimat
Available from Lickimat
A comprehensive product line, these mats are designed to help soothe your pooch and deliver food in a slower and more controlled way. Licking has been shown to help to calm dogs by releasing endorphins, and this product encourages just that. Perfect for relaxing dogs in new places or when left alone. The website also gives excellent guidance on which Lickimat is right for your dog’s needs.
Vetbed original
Available from Pets At Home
A must have for any dog, these versatile and portable beds are endlessly useful. They provide protection from the hard floor, are warm and can be taken anywhere easily. The material also drains moisture, stopping your dog from sitting in a wet and cold bed. For dogs suffering with incontinence issues, UTIs or are just constantly wet from the rain these beds are particularly fantastic.
