The 24 Absolute Best Holiday Gifts for Dogs and Dog Parents

For dog parents, spoiling our fur babies is a 365-day-a-year activity, but there’s no time like the holidays to kick it up a notch. And as a new dog mom, I might be going a tad overboard for my Chihuahua mix Barney’s first Hanukkah. From cute squeaky toys to treats to cozy little sweaters, I can’t wait to shower him with extra goodies for being such a good boy this year. 

And, let’s be honest, I’m in good company: According to shopping app Klarna, 75% of pet owners plan to shop for their pets this season. Whether you’re looking for something practical or slightly (fine, very) bougie, I did some digging to find the best presents of the year for dogs large and small, as well as the parents who love them. Just do me a favor and don’t tell Barney what I’m getting him—I want it to be a surprise.

However, she does still have her taste for carbohydrates, love of losing sports teams, and fear of driving during rush hour. She's been in editorial for over eight years as a social media manager and writer covering beauty, fashion, and lifestyle at Glamour and People. Most recently, she was the women's editor at Express. These days, in addition toBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , you can see her byline at places like Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Ipsy, and WeWork.

She's also deeply passionate about sustainability, and she strives to recommend products she truly believes are worth the investment. When she's not writing about the best and brightest beauty finds, she can usually be found hunting for vintage and secondhand treasures, attempting to find zen at a yoga class, bingeing Bon Appétit YouTube videos, or napping under her weighted blanket.
