27 Lovable Gifts For Dog Owners
A list of unique and impressive gift ideas for dog owners. A collection of the best gifts you can give to a proud dog parent.
With over 70 Million pet dogs living in U.S., it’s safe to say that they’re pretty popular among Americans. After all they’re loyal, kind and make great companions. Dogs are among the very few species that show kindness towards others even without rewards.
I think you can divide the most of the human population into two personality types–dog people and cat people. That’s it. That is what everything comes down to. It affects culture, art, elections and memes. Essentially the world revolves around cats and dogs.
Dog people are more friendly and hard working than cat people. They’re also happier.
Following is a collection of the best gift ideas for dog owners. Some are more practical than others. You can pick the best one based on your recipient’s personality.

They say puns are the lowest form of comedy. I think it’s true at some level. Although when born out of witty spins on pop culture can be fun.
This design on the whisky glass is in reference to the classic film The Godfather. This will make a great gift for any film buff who’s also a dog owner.

Cheers Human Mug for Dog Lovers
Life is dull and full of suffering, pain and misery. There’s nothing one can do about avoiding all that. Even those who try to control and manage everything to the last detail derail sometimes into chaos.
Dogs are amazing at cheering us up. An innocent expression that somewhat translates into “What happened, why so sad?” can cheer you up and make you feel like it’s all ok.
This funny mug will at least bring a smile sometimes to your recipient’s face.

The same as us humans dogs are smart social animals. They need constant interaction and challenges. They get a lot of fun out of games and solving puzzles for rewards, like us.
This dog feeder and exerciser is an awesome way to keep your dog fed and entertained so that they are healthy and stimulated. A useful gadget any dog owner would love to own.
Portable Dog Pool Float
I like portable things. They’re very convenient for travelling and being a person who values his independence I like stuff that is made keeping in mind that some consumers don’t like being stationary a lot.
This portable dog pool float is an excellent gift for any dog owner who likes to travel, goes on trips or even just owns a pool. It can carry a good amount of weight so pretty much works for dogs of most sizes.

Before you scroll down past this seemingly basic choice (after all every dog parent owns a ball to play fetch with their dog), know that this is not an average chew ball.
This one is made with Encapsiscent Technology. Which basically means that it’s embedded with microscopic particles that have natural scents that dogs love.
It’s easy to clean and durable. A fine choice of gift if you want to go with something practical.
Dog Mother Wine Rack
Being a mama, even to a furry canine, ain’t easy. They need to relax and sip some wine every now and then.
If your recipient loves dogs and wine, this “Dog Mother, Wine Lover” wine rack is a good fit. You can gift this to a close friend or a partner. I’d advise against giving it to people who aren’t close to you. They might take offense in the insinuation that they have a drinking problem. Keep that in mind.

Dog Anxiety Jacket
Dogs are great at making us humans feel better. They make us feel loved and not lonely. Research suggests that our blood pressure goes down when petting a dog (So does the dog’s.)
Dogs have mostly adapted to the human world but sometimes certain situations can make them feel anxious. A thundering sky or firecracker going off can set them off. This anxiety jacket helps with the situation. It applies gentle pressure to calm them down which helps control over excitement and fear.
A very useful gift your dog loving friend will appreciate.
Pet Fountain
Speaking of useful gifts this is another one that will be of great use and convenience to your recipient. Practical gifts aren’t for all occasions but when picked with thought can be really impressive.
Apart from the cool design that’ll look good in any place this pet water fountain comes with some great features. It makes healthy and hygienic water available for your pets all day and comes with different setting for the flow.
LED Dog Collar
A sad fact I learned while researching for this post is that over a million dogs die each year in road accidents in the United States alone.
This mostly happens because they often aren’t visible to the drivers until it’s too late. More so at night.
This LED dog collar can prevent a tragedy like that. It’s USB rechargeable, easy to use and comfortable for the dogs.
Your recipient will thank you for this considerate gift.
Water Bottle for Dogs
Last but not the least, a very useful thing for any dog owner to have. A water bottle with a fold cup that acts as a bowl so pets can drink out of it effortlessly anywhere.
A simple yet thoughtful gift.
