Gift Idea #1: A Gift Card to the Pet Store
Sure, a gift card to the local Petco or PetSmart isn't exactly a unique gift, but it's useful and it's a great gift for dog lovers, who can spend their holiday gift card on something practical like dog food, a new dog food bowl or a new dog bed, or the dog owner can splurge on a novelty item that they wouldn't normally purchase, like dog apparel or a fancy new collar and leash set. A pet store gift card is a perfect, versatile holiday gift for dog owners of all sorts.
Gift Idea #2: Gourmet Dog Treats
Every dog will appreciate a batch of gourmet dog treats and when the dog is happy, the dog owner is happy too! This makes gourmet dog treats a great holiday gift for dogs and their owners. Splurge and purchase the gourmet dog treats from a fancy pet bakery, or find a great homemade dog treat recipe and bake the dog treats at home - either will make a great gift idea for a dog owner.
Another idea? Consider purchasing a doggy cookbook, with an array of recipes for dogs. Select one of the recipes and cook up a doggy dinner meal. Then, on Christmas or Hanukkah, present the dog owner with a gift of the new doggy cookbook and the homemade dish, created using one of the recipes in their new doggy cookbook.
Gift Idea #3: A Pet Photography Session
Looking for a unique holiday gift idea for a dog owner? Pet photography provides dog owners with a unique and personalized keepsake that can be enjoyed and cherished for years to come. This holiday season, purchase a gift certificate from a local pet photographer, or "borrow" the gift recipient's dog for an afternoon and schedule a pet photography session - just be sure that the pet photographs will be ready in time for the holidays! The result will be a unique present for a dog lover this holiday season.
Gift Idea #4: A Dog Walker Gift Certificate
Every dog owner will appreciate a gift certificate for dog walking services this holiday season!
Even if a dog owner doesn't use a dog walker on a regular basis, this will be a great holiday gift idea because what dog owner hasn't had to work late, leaving the dog at home without his evening walk? So for holiday shoppers with a dog owner on their list, contact a dog walker that's local to the gift recipient to purchase a gift certificate.
Gift Idea #5: A Dog Grooming Gift Certificate
Just about any friend or family member on that holiday shopping list who owns a dog will appreciate a gift certificate to a local dog groomer this holiday season!
A dog grooming gift certificate is guaranteed to be a much-appreciated present on a day when the gift recipient's is in need of a bath and brushing. This is especially the case during tough economic times when many pet owners bite the bullet and groom their dog at home to save money. A gift certificate to a local dog groomer will provide a nice break for the dog owner, who can spend the afternoon partaking in an enjoyable activity, rather than wrestling with a wet, shampoo-covered dog in the bathtub.
