Best Gift Ideas for Dog Lovers
74Understanding the Dog Lover
There are many people who don't understand the dog lover. These people place their pets as not just a pet but a member of the family. They love their dog, they feed it, they nurture it, and they embrace the animal as one of their own. And why wouldn't they?
Dogs are loyal, smart, protective, and down right entertaining. They are wonderful companions who never talk back or say hateful remarks. Dogs will listen intently to whatever you have to say, and love to spend time with you. Dogs want to play, go for walks,they will follow their owners anywhere if you let them.
So with the holidays approaching or even just for gifts for special occasions like birthdays, why not acknowledge their love for dogs with a special gift that shows that love.

Gifts for the Dog
Whenever I am getting a gift for a dog lover, I always like to get something for the dog as well. Not something extravagant just something simple like, balls, stuffed animals, or Frisbees.
Dogs love anything that rolls, squeaks, makes noise or that has food snacks tucked inside.
So I usually opt for something that I know the dog may love already. Like our dog Cassie If she were to receive anything that has to do with a ball she was happy. For some reason she was particularly fond of this football that my mom had gotten for her.
She would play with it for hours, and don't be fooled if she did leave it, she knew exactly where it was at all times.
Great Gifts for the Dog Lover
When you want to get a gift for a dog lover, a great gift is anything that expresses their love for their dog.
That's why I love the I love my (dog), t-shirts. They have a t-shirt for just about every breed of dog there is.
Even for those who don't particularly wear casual t-shirts, will love these t-shirts to wear on a lazy Saturday morning when they are out walking their dog. And they love it when people notice their shirt and makes comments like, "I have a German shepherd too." Then they get a whole conversation on their dogs, why the love them, and what makes them special.
More Cool Gifts
There is just about anything imaginable that one can get a dog lover for a gift. There are coffee mugs, door mats, yard signs, almost anything you can think of.
If you have a dog lover with a variety of dogs, or are just a overall dog lover, there are great t-shirts and gifts that show that as well.
And Books about their special breed, are always nice to receive.
Dog lovers also love to read the Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers books. They have heartwarming stories about dogs, and their great companionship and heroic moments that have transpired between man and dog.
There are even great jewelry gifts, like pendants, necklaces, and pins.
Dog lovers also enjoy keychains, with their special breed.
So there are so many great gift ideas for dog lovers, that they will enjoy.

We have 3 dogs and for christmas I have bought a t-shirt for my 2 daughters (aged 5 and 7) with one of our dogs on...they love it and it's a fantastic way for them to share their love of dogs with their friends....
Same here Diane. Hubpages wasn't the same without you, as I know I speak for a lot of people on here, when I say you were missed. Anyways, I'm glad to hear you had a great Thanksgiving. You be sure to take care okay.
Yours Truly,
Steven
Very nice hub, Diane. I really enjoyed reading this. Although I don't have a dog anymore, I'll be sure to send a link of this hub over to my brother and his fiance, as I'm sure they can use this for gift ideas for their weener dog Autumn for christmas. Thanks again for the great advice me lady. :)
Yours Truly,
Steven
Nice job for the dog lovers. Great suggestions.
Hi Diane!
Thanks for another great Hub. I have just read it to my Labrador cross, Rusty (okay Rusty, I will say hello for you too!)
You have some great gift ideas for two and four legged Hubbers. I can not bring anything home from town without Rusty wanting to sniff and look in every bag, just in case there is something for him hidden in one. Nine times out of ten, there is.
Of course the greatest gift that I have received as dog lover, is Rusty. We have been together for a year this month.
He was wandering the streets, boned out and knocking over bins (trash cans?) for food. Rusty had been abused and beaten by his previous male owner. I know it was a "man", as Rusty still likes trying to get his teeth on any male that comes near either of us. Luckily, he and my partner fell for each other instantly.
As my life has not been much easier than Rusty's has at times, I can not honestly tell you who rescued whom.
It saddens me that people can treat any living creature that way.
If pictures could be posted on comments, I would add one of my beautiful boy, Rusty.
Thanks again, Diane. Back to looking for a birthday gift for a three year old Lab X!
