17 Gift Ideas For The Dog Lover In Your Life

by Shannon Fiedler

Have someone on your shopping list who likes dogs more than they like people? While searching for the perfect gift for a dog lover, it may be tempting to just buy them something for their four-legged friend, like a cute doggie sweater or a stylish leash. But since they're probably already spoiling their pooch this Christmas with a stocking full of treats and toys, you might want to get them something they can use themselves.

You know that friend who follows all of the puppy picture Instagram accounts? Or your aunt and uncle who treat their dog better than most people treat a child? They'll love these gifts that feature dogs and allow them to proudly display their love of paw-prints and wagging tails. From jewelry to kitchenwares to fun prints, there's something every dog lover on your list will love to receive this year. So don't wait — get your shopping started with some of these awesome items!
