We are halfway through December, and you're in a panic. You've only finished half your Christmas shopping! But it's okay! I've gathered up some last minute gift ideas for dog owners that are sure to make their holidays merry and bright:
Snuffle mats and puzzle toys
Snuffle mats are the perfect gift for a dog owner who is looking for a way to keep their pooch busy, entertained, and calm. A snuffle mat is a mat made from pieces of fleece in order to create an activity for your dog. You can put treats or your dog's meal within the pieces of fleece and watch as your pooch digs around trying to find them!
If you really want to go all-out with this gift, you could also include some puzzle toys or other interactive toys like these:

Pups Against the Patriarchy dog bandana
If you're looking for a quick, unique gift, head over to Etsy and grab this “pups against the patriarchy” dog bandana. This bandana is perfect for the socially conscious dog parent (and their dog!). There’s tons of other fun feminist dog products too if bandanas aren’t the recipient’s style. Maybe they would like this Ruth Bader Ginsburg dog collar?
Hand stamped metal dog tag
If you're looking for a gift that will keep your dog safe, look no further than a hand stamped metal dog tag. Hand stamped metal dog tags are crafted from jewelry-quality metals and can be customized with your pet's name, phone number and other information you choose. There are so many beautiful and creative designs - it will be hard to pick just one!
Pooping Pooches Christmas ornament
The Pooping Poodles Christmas ornament is a perfect gift for any dog lover. Not only is this a little hilarity for the recipient's Christmas tree, but for every ornament sold, 50 cents will be donated to the Maui Humane Society to help dogs in need of adoption. So whether you're looking for a small stocking stuffer or an extra special gift for your favorite pupper parent—this pooping pooches ornament is sure to make their holiday season merry and bright!
Adopt the Old Dogs crewneck sweatshirt
Do you wish more people adopted senior dogs? Then this crewneck sweatshirt is for you. This sweatshirt features original artwork from Jonathan's Journal on Instagram to help advocate for senior dogs in need. There's something special about the sweet, grizzled faces of our older furry friends, and they deserve forever homes too.
Cozy knit hats for the outdoorsy dog mom
For the dog owner who's ready to take on winter head-on, a knit hat is a great gift. These beanies are comfortable, warm and stylish. This shop also has a cowl available for dogs so you and your pup can match!
Presets for the photographer dog mom
For the photographer dog mom, presets can be a great way to get started with editing your photos. They're also a nice gift because they're affordable and useful. A preset is essentially an idea for how to edit a certain kind of image. Just download the preset and apply it in Adobe Lightroom. A few I love include:
City Turtles Snow Overlays (not presets, but overlays to be applied in Photoshop to make it look like it’s snowing in your photos!)
There are lots of great last minute options for dog owners!
When it comes to buying gifts for the dog owner in your life, you don't need to be a dog lover yourself. In fact, if you're buying a gift for someone else's furry friend, it's best if you know their preferences and tastes so as to avoid any last-minute surprises (or awkward exchanges).
With all the options above, no one will be left out! You can find these gifts at any time of the year or buy them online. The best part is that they don't take up a lot of space and are easy to wrap (or give as is). We hope this article has inspired you and your pup to get excited about holiday shopping!
