To prevent your dog from eating too quickly and devouring their meal in one bite, puzzle toys that allow you to stuff their food in can be a great way to help with their digestion and problem-solving skills. It's like a game and a meal all in one!
5. Dog Beds
Dogs love having their own comfy little personal space to lie down on, which makes dog beds great gifts for a dog owner if they don't have one already. There are so many different materials, shapes, sizes, and designs to choose from, so pick something you think your furry friend will enjoy the most!
6. New Leashes
All dog owners need to take their dogs on daily walks to keep them happy and healthy, which means leashes are always a welcome present they can use. It's a very practical gift that will be put to good use immediately, meaning you don't have to worry about whether they'll like it or not.
7. Cute Dog Clothes
If you know someone with a dog who doesn't mind wearing clothes, why not add some more to their collection? After all, a true fashionista can never have too many options in their wardrobe! The owner will absolutely love taking photos of them in their new gear too.
8. Dog Umbrellas
If you have umbrellas to keep yourself dry, why can't dogs? This nifty little contraption will have all dog owners rolling in laughter while simultaneously loving the practicality of it; dog umbrellas attached to leashes can help keep your furry friends dry when the rain starts pouring. It looks funny but it's very useful!

9. Pet Stroller
Sometimes, dogs just wanted to be pampered and carried around everywhere! When those little paws get tired, dog owners love throwing them into a cute, hassle-free pet stroller that lets them see all the sights while resting comfortably. The more compact the better!
10. Pet Cameras
If you have to leave your dog unattended at home because of work, a night out, or other reasons, it's nice knowing you can keep an eye on them wherever you are. Pet cameras connect directly to your phone, letting you check in on how your dog is doing at any time.
11. Dog Car Seats
Dogs need to be safe and comfy during car trips too! Dog car seats are always a welcome gift because it's an item that often gets overlooked. People don't realize how handy they are until they have one! It's even more important to have one if you have a smaller dog that's more at risk.
12. Pet Hair Removers
Even though you love your dog very much, it can be annoying dealing with all their shedding and hair flying everywhere. The best solution to this problem? Pet hair removers. Whether you get a small vacuum or rollers that pick everything up, these are handy little gifts that are instantly appreciated.
13. New Vacuum
Speaking of vacuums, why not just get them a newer, more powerful one? While it might seem like a gift unrelated to loving dogs, it's truly a thoughtful idea that will make any dog lover's life so much easier. Besides, what adult wouldn't jump at the idea of new home appliances?
14. Apple Air Tag
Worried about losing your adventurous and careless furry friend? Don't fear - that's what Apple air tags are for! Just secure it onto your dog's collar and feel relaxed knowing you can locate them at a moment's notice if it ever comes to it.
15. Artwork
From paintings to caricatures and photo frames, any form of artwork of a pet owner's dog is considered a masterpiece in their eyes. After all, they see them as part of their family! And what parent wouldn't be proud to display art of their children around the house.
16. Ball Launchers
It's common knowledge that dogs love playing fetch or running around with balls, which is why ball launchers that help you get some distance with your throw are a dog's favorite toy. They're compact, easy to carry around, and bring endless hours of fun for our furry best friends.
17. Portable Pet Water Bottles
Dogs get thirsty when they're out and about too, but unfortunately, they can't carry Stanley Cups in their paws like we can. That's why it's up to dog owners to carry around portable dog water bottles that make drinking easy for them on the go! It's an incredibly thoughtful present we know any dog lover would sincerely appreciate and love.
18. Chew Toys
Sometimes, you just can't go wrong with a classic chew toy. It's simple yet every dog loves them! And all dog owners know for a fact that you can never have too many lying around the house. Better these toys than the rug.
19. Mugs With Their Dog's Face
Mugs are great gifts for all occasions, so why not plaster a photo of your friend's beloved dog to make for a great and funny gift? It's definitely going to put a smile on their face and the bonus is, they can easily use it everyday. Whether they're drinking coffee, tea, or juice, it's going to be their favorite drinking device moving forward.
20. Dog Calendars
Calendars are handy items that organized people love and disorganized people need. That makes them a great gift all around! But to give it a nice personal touch, finding one with photos of dogs, or better yet, using images of your giftee's dog, can really make the gift even better.
