Itās that time of year again when Petswelcome presents its annual Holiday Gifts for Dog Lovers. In 2019 weāve decided to break the gifts out by category. All dog lovers have different needs, wants and, of course, dogs. By dividing the gifts into different groupings we hope it will make it easier for you to make a better decision.
The 6 categories we created for Holiday Gifts for Dog Lovers are: Travel, Fun, Safety and Security, Health, Food and Treats, Pet and Human Accessories. Some items in one group might crossover into another group but weāve tried to divide them into the category that best defines each product. The Hyper Pet K9 Kannon K2 Dog Ball Launcher will keep a dog healthy and in good shape by giving it plenty of exercise but we put it in the Fun category, well, because you get to shoot a cannon.
What to Think About When Buying Ā Holiday Gifts for Dog Lovers
Lifestyle
Everyone wants their present to be the perfect gift. Ā And the best way to make sure that happens is to take into consideration a number of different factors such as your dog loverās lifestyle. Are they outdoorsy or more of a couch potato? Do they have favorite hobbies or activities? If your dog lover enjoys hitting the road with her best friend, then a helpful pet travel gift might be just the ticket. If heās reader, then a book of dog stories or poetry will be greatly appreciated.
Type of Dog
A great gift for a true dog lover is a great gift for the dog and will be much appreciated. If youāre thinking of a holiday gift for dog lovers that involves not only your dog lover but his dog, too, itās important to make sure the gift works for both of them. If the dog lover has a young pup, you might want to buy a gift that allows her to play with her dog more so that it gets plenty of exercise. On the other hand, if the dog is older, maybe a dog ramp or a heated dog bed is the perfect present. Or if he has a purebred, then a set of glasses with his favorite Golden Retriever on it could go a long way in making it his favorite present.
Budget
We all know that giving gifts is about thinking of others and not yourself. But you obviously need to take your own budget into consideration. The good news is that weāve included many different price ranges so that you can find the gift that matches your pocketbook. A Dog DNA Test is certainly a great present. But I know some dog lovers who would get a bigger kick out finding an Orbee-Tuff Lump of Coal in their stocking so they could play fetch with their favorite animal all Christmas morning.
Remember, itās the thought that counts. So give it some as you read Petswelcomeās Holiday Gifts for Dog Lovers.
