Gifts For Dogs & Their Owners: The Best Brands To Shop From This Christmas
If you’re anything like us you love to treat your dog to a Christmas present or three - and perhaps a little something for yourself too. It’s all too easy to get sucked into the festive whirlwind and end up with things we don’t need, so rather than buying that novelty toy that we know won’t see the new year, we’re gifting with purpose instead. Scroll on to see the dog-friendly brands we love, and return to time and time again for their exceptional wares.
Gifts for Dogs
Brindle & Whyte
If you’ve got a skinny dog with a long neck you’ll know that their collars need to be nice and supportive, and wide enough that they don’t slip. Brindle and Whyte are the OGs when it comes to Martingale collars and leads. Designed and made in the UK by Anya - inspired by her beloved angel hound Coco - her collars are durable, beautifully crafted and stand the test of time.

Night Time Holiday
The finest (and coolest) neck candy for dogs. Brooke of Night Time Holiday is a jewellery maker based in Grimsby who makes every single necklace, charm and earring by hand. Not only does she make beautiful pieces for humans, she creates the gorgeous pet tags from brass and recycled silver. There’s a bunch of designs to choose from, each as cute as the last.

Charley Chau
The best bed you’ll ever buy. Seriously. If you have a whippet, Italian greyhound or lurcher that loved to be under the covers then this is the bed for them. The Snuggle Bed is squishy, fur lined and incredibly comfy for these sleepy hounds. The covers are machine washable and come in a small selection of subtle, earthy colours.

Beco Pets
Paws down, the best dog toys around. Beco Pets toys are tough, eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. We’re big fans of their natural rubber range of tough bouncy balls and fillable treat bones, and love their recycled plastic teddies too.

Faith in Nature
Not only do Faith in Nature make beautiful products for humans (Wild Rose is our go-to) they have a great range of dog shampoo and conditioners too. Made with natural ingredients they are pH-balanced specifically for dogs and are formulated with vitamin E for a healthy, shiny, gloriously scented coat. And the best bit? They’re gentle on the planet, cruelty-free, smell glorious and make an excellent gift.
Ruff and Tumble
Every dog should have a Ruff and Tumble drying coat. An essential item for mutts that enjoy a muddy puddle or two, they’re made from natural, double layered cotton towelling for speedy and efficient post-shower drying. The mitts are genius too - a great thing to keep in the car after a wet walk.

Gifts for Dog Lovers
Dog Songs by Mary Oliver
A beautiful little book of poems and ink illustrations, celebrating the joy of dogs. Oliver writes about her beloved Percy and explores themes of love, heartbreak, grief and all aspects of canine companionship.
Pet Portraits
by Faye Moorhouse
If you’re looking for something a bit different then you must take a look through Faye’s pet portraits. We just love her wonky drawings and portrayal of dogs - our portrait of Lolly is one of our most prized possessions.
Keyrings by Ark
Sweet little leather keyrings made in Scotland. Ark are a family run business who process their leather at their on site tannery before cutting and foil embossing to create playful keyrings and poo bag holders. A very sweet stocking filler for the dog lover in your life.
Cora + Spink
The perfect dog-walking bag IMO. The Frankie Utility bag has three compartments (great if you want to keep those smelly dog treats away from your stuff) and can easily hold a phone, your keys, dog treats, poo bags and your wallet. They come in some beautiful colours too.
