Christmas Gift Guide for Your Dog

I know I can’t be the only one who buys presents for my dog at Christmas. It’s fun to include them in the gift giving, even if they have no idea what’s going on. Of course our furry friends need a new toy or comfy bed at Christmas!

This year’s gift guide, just like last year, is broken into three groups based on what type of dog you might have. Whether he’s a Playful Pup, a Pampered Pooch or a Fashionable Fido, there’s something on the list for most any type of dog personality. My dog Hunter falls into the “Playful Pup” category and Roscoe falls into the “Fashionable Fido” category, so I have found lots of great ideas for both.

So here you go! My best picks for what to get your dog this Christmas. For more gift ideas, visit: https://www.pinterest.com/dogsinthecle
