From squeaky snowmen to festive feasts, here's how to make your furry best friend's Christmas absolutely pawsome.
Our dogs are family. They're there for the morning cuddles, the muddy walks, and the "accidental" crumb drops under the dinner table. So when Christmas rolls around, of course they deserve something special under the tree (even if they'll probably be more interested in the wrapping paper).
Whether your pooch is a destroyer of toys, a professional napper, or thinks every walk is an Olympic sport, we've rounded up the best Christmas gifts for dogs to suit every waggy personality.

A Few Tips Before You Shop
Match the gift to the dog. Your couch potato isn't going to thank you for a ball launcher. Think about what makes YOUR dog's tail wag.
Size matters. Puppies need gentler toys, seniors appreciate something soft, and power chewers need the tough stuff.
Let them unwrap it! Dogs love ripping paper—use plain wrapping (no ribbons that could be swallowed) and let them go to town on Christmas morning.
Keep the treats safe. Check out our guide on Safe Christmas Treats for Dogs before sharing the feast.
Go On, Spoil Them
They greet you like you've been gone for years (even when it's been five minutes). They keep your feet warm. They listen to all your problems without judgement. The least we can do is make their Christmas special.
