Dog owners are easy to buy for: anything that makes walks, mealtimes or cleaning easier will be appreciated. We stick to practical products and make no health or medical claims about any of them.
For the dog
Durable toys and a bed with a washable cover are the classics for good reason.
Pets
KONG Classic Dog Toy
A tough natural rubber toy that can be stuffed with treats to keep a dog busy.
Why we like it: It outlasts plush toys by a very long way, and stuffing it buys you a quiet half hour.
Pets
Bedsure Orthopaedic Dog Bed
A supportive foam bed with a raised bolster and a removable, machine-washable cover.
Why we like it: The cover zips off and goes straight in the machine, which matters more than anything else.
For walks and mealtimes
A comfortable harness and a slow-feeder bowl are everyday upgrades.
Pets
Julius-K9 IDC Powerharness
A padded harness with a chest plate, reflective trim and a sturdy grab handle.
Why we like it: It goes on in seconds and spreads pressure across the chest instead of the neck.
Pets
Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo-Bowl
A maze-pattern bowl that turns a ten-second dinner into a few minutes of work.
Why we like it: It slows fast eaters and adds a bit of mealtime interest at very little cost.
For the owner
A reusable pet hair remover is the gift that gets used most.
Pets
ChomChom Pet Hair Remover
A reusable roller that lifts pet hair off sofas, beds and car seats with no sticky sheets.
Why we like it: No refills to buy, no batteries, and it clears a sofa cushion in seconds.
