We love spoiling our dogs here at Take a Break Pets and although our pooches get all the warm cuddles, long walks, tasty treats and fun toys to enjoy all throughout the year, consider treating them to something that extra special ahead of Christmas with our pick of the best personalised dog gifts.
Personalised dog presents are things that you know your pooch will love, such as blankets and beds or even pet clothes, but they can be custom-made to your and their preferences. These can even be practical items your pup needs and will come in handy day-to-day, like a toy box for organising their playthings or bowls for them to eat and drink out of. Either way, they’re certain to get your hound’s tail-wagging.
Best personalised dog gifts at a glance:
Of course, personalised dog presents aren’t just for our pooches; you can get ones for owners and dog lovers alike that they’ll be barking mad about. These custom gifts can include dog walking bags with their pooch’s name sewn in, pup portraits of their beloved four-legged friend and even jewellery of their paw print. Super cute and thoughtful.
So whether you’re after a pressie to treat your doggo or a gift for a canine-loving friend with furry friends of their own, we’ve rounded up a selection of paw-some presents that will leave both dogs and their owners delighted.
