2024's Must-Have Holiday Gifts for Dogs
Hannah Roundy
Whether they’ve been naughty or nice, don’t forget the dog gifts during holiday shopping.
The holidays aren’t quite as jolly for dogs like they are for us. Colder weather might mean fewer walks and more time inside. Though you might enjoy hosting family feasts, your pup might be nervous about all the strangers in their home. The doorbell’s constant ringing for package deliveries or friendly drop-ins doesn’t help, either.
This doesn’t have to be a stressful time for your dog. Instead, surprise your pup with a few dog gifts to distract them from the holiday chaos.
Jumbo Lamb Chop Dog Toy - $15.79
This is no ordinary toy. Dogs go berserk for the Lamb Chop! If your pup has a Lamb Chop of their own, you’ll understand the hype.
Before it became your pup’s favorite toy, the Lamb Chop was a sock puppet featured on The Captain Kangaroo Show. Puppeteer Shari Lewis also used Lamb Chop on The Shari Lewis Show and Lamb Chop’s Play Along. Multipet purchased the licensing for Lamb Chop in 2008 and created a dog toy in the character's likeness.
That humble sock puppet is now the best-selling plush toy in America. Dogs think of Lamb Chop as more of a baby than a dog toy. Most pups prefer to cuddle their Lamby and carry it around like a security blanket rather than chewing on it. For that reason, we consider Lamb Chops must-buy gifts for dogs.
You can find Lamb Chop dog gifts in most pet stores and on Amazon. It comes in multiple sizes that are suitable for tiny toy breeds or giant Great Danes.
Apres Ski Dog Christmas Sweater - $50
Warm up your winter walks with this dog Christmas sweater from The Foggy Dog. The classic Apres Ski pullover was designed in partnership with photographer (and dog lover), Gray Malin. It’s sure to keep your furry friend cozy and warm as temperatures drop.
For $50, you’ll get a fashionable and functional dog Christmas sweater that’s easy to wash. Fold up the sleeves and neck opening to make your pup more comfortable. Who doesn’t love a dog in a turtleneck sweater?
Old World Christmas Dog Ornaments - Starting at $19.99
Okay, so this is technically a present for yourself. Regardless, your pup deserves a spot on the Christmas tree. Choose from over 100 hand-crafted dog ornaments from Old World Christmas.
