Do you have a friend or family member who is a dog mom? The holidays are ahead and instead of buying your usual wine or chocolates, you want a more thoughtful gift that they’ll actually enjoy. If you need some ideas, here are a few to help you to get started on your gift shopping now.

Doggy Treat Makers

Making a dog their own treats is not only a way to help a dog to stay healthier, but also will give the pet owner the reassurance that the dog is only eating high-quality ingredients. You can buy doggy treat cutters much like cookie cutters to trim out the shapes from batter, or you can opt to buy an electric treat maker that plugs into an outlet, very similar to a waffle maker.

Bungee Dog Leash

It’s happened to all dog owners. They’re out walking their dog when he/she dog gets excited and starts running. This can cause a sudden hard pull on the hand and wrist. A bungee dog leash will give the dog some give so you’re not suddenly pulled along with them. These types of leashes also have a loop that fits around your wrist so you can carry a drink or snack with you without fear it will be poured on the ground.

Sleeping Bags for Dogs

If your friend’s dog goes camping with them, you can buy a sleeping bag that has been designed for dogs too. This keeps them warm and secure at night, even in lower temperatures. If it’s too warm, they’ll also enjoy sleeping on top of the bag too. This sleeping bag will be much easier for the dog’s owner to pack and carry, as they won’t need to pack a human-sized one.

Personalized Doggy Merchandise

Personalized doggy merchandise is becoming increasingly popular, and it’s not too difficult to do an online search to find these customized mugs, t-shirts, shopping bags, and ornaments online. You can have your friend’s name and dog’s name added to the custom items too. You can use the site’s clip art and stock photos, or you can upload your own photographs and art to use too. This gift will be one-of-a-kind and guaranteed that your gift recipient will not have another like it!

Just imagine the surprise on the faces of your doggy mom friends and family! They will appreciate that you have given such thoughtful and loving gifts to them this holiday season.
