Life
If you're a dog owner then you know the holidays can only mean one thing — what should I get my furbaby? They don't require much and yet we just want to shower them with gifts because we love them so tremendously. Plus, it's way more fun to spoil the dogs than it is the kids, because let's face it, dogs are always grateful and they can't talk back. Of course, they can't gift back, either — so it's up to other humans to give pet parents the presents they deserve. To that end, here are 10 gifts for dog owners that just might spoil dogs a little, too.
There are so many fun, new gadgets for dog owners and their pets to try together, from an automated tennis ball launcher for those pups who are fetch-obsessed (and those owners whose arms are getting pretty tired of throwing) to pet cams with 2-way audio (just imagine the viral videos to be made!). There are also tons of customizable gift ideas, so you can be sure you're giving a truly special, one of a kind gift to the pup owner on your holiday gift list — or heck, maybe yourself. After all, you — and your pup — deserve a treat this year, too.
