Great Gifts for Dog Lovers

No fuss, no muss. All of the following items are guaranteed to be appreciated gifts for any of the dog lovers in your life.

1. Subscription to Clean Run Magazine – the best agility gift. Hands & paws down. If I had to pick one magazine to read, it would be Clean Run. I’ve been a subscriber for three years. Even my friends & family who have never seen Miles and I compete enjoy looking at this magazine.
2. Lotus Ball Training Toy – a great multi-use training tool. Any agility person would be happy to get this as a gift. Clean Run recently got the rights to this popular training toy, and have made a bunch of improvements to it. An excellent and useful toy for any dog lover, really.
3. Lock Laces No-Tie Shoe Laces – I tried these, and haven’t looked back since. Finally a way to get shoes on and off easily, and to keep them at the perfect tension level on your feet. So useful.
4. Gift Card to a major or local outdoor supply store, such as REI or MEC – Any dog person can never have enough outdoor gear. From summer gear, to winter gear, and dog walking/event clothing… Any dog lover will appreciate this kind of gift card.
5. Bass Slicker Brush – This is my all time favorite grooming tool. Fast and efficient de-tangling and brushing, and comfortable to hold. Me and Miles’ Bass Slicker is 5 years old and going strong.
6. Cordless Dremel – To read more on how useful this tool is, and to find out which models I recommend, check out our article How to Dremel Dog Nails.
7. All Weather Blanket – This item has many uses, and is an excellent gift for the person who is always on the go and/or at events with their dog. It can be used to cover a dog crate or car windshield, it can be used to reflect heat in the summer, or to insulate in cold weather, it can be used when needed as an all-purpose water-proof tarp, it is compact… Basically put, it is very, very useful.
8. Kennel Gear kit – The best crate/travel bowls I have found to date. You set up the attachment on a wire part of your dog’s crate, and the bowl easily slides in when you need it there. This is the perfect easy solution for folding crates, because the attachment for the bowl lays totally flat. Kennel gear bowls come in all sizes/price ranges, and are all dish-washer safe. I have had many people notice this on Miles’ crate. Very good design.
9. Trek and Train Treat Bag – This is my favorite training treat bag.
10. Subscription to The Whole Dog Journal – useful monthly articles and tips on often changing subjects, such as training, behavior, health, food, etc.
11. Crinkits treat or water bottle stuff-able toy – ( This and the following two items, items #11-#13) are my favorite treat/meal stuff-able toys. These are excellent for keeping any dog occupied when you need them busy the most. All are easy to clean, and dishwasher-safe. I think a great gift for any dog lover would be all three of these together. But if course one alone will do just fine, all are excellent.
12. Treatstik meal/treat stuff-able toy
13. Kong meal/treat stuff-able toy
14. Underwater Puppies Calendar
15. Lady and the Tramp DVD – This classic movie is great for all ages.
