The Best Gifts for Dog Lovers in 2023

While the pooch curls up on their bed, they can get to work on this 1,000 piece puzzle illustrated with very good boys and girls. If the person on your list is also a “Cat Person,” there’s a second edition of this puzzle just for them. Both puzzles are pretty enough to frame when they’re complete.

If they’re going to log miles traipsing through the neighborhood with their dog in tow, help them get their steps in with this year’s celebrity-approved walking shoe. The New Balance 550 has been worn by Taylor Swift, Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner, and more; it’s got a retro look and supportive design that earns the Hollywood hype.

HVN brought three vintage-inspired prints to Wild One’s best-selling bundle of a collar, leash, and waste bag holder. The result is the most charming set of walk necessities you can find online right now. Each set comes in a bright shade that will stand out against any puppy’s fur. (The better for the inevitable Instagrams that will follow.)

Every leash needs a convenient waste bag holder. Why not make it cute? This little bag from designer Anya Hindmarch takes the form of a pint-sized dachshund. Maybe with this clipped to the leash, they’ll stop asking for a second puppy….(maybe).

Saatva makes the highest-rated mattresses for people and pets. This dog bed, available in three shades suitable to any home, is well-cushioned and crafted in a stain- and spill-resistant fabric. Dogs will be so comfortable, they may just give up sleeping in their owners’ beds.

Chances are, the dog lover in your life knows they’re a little obsessed. This cheeky ornament lets everyone else in on the joke, and with shimmering beads that will glisten on their Christmas tree.

Hundreds of pet parents swear by this Away travel carrier for toting their small dogs on flights. It has all the functional features that make Away’s regular luggage so good, like smart storage compartments and an easy-to-clean fabric. There’s also a trolley sleeve so it can slide right on top of a carry-on bag. Some dog owners say they’ve had two tiny dogs curl up in one together—it’s that sneakily spacious.

Some dogs like to wander. Make sure their owners always know where their pet is roaming with a set of shiny new air tags. They can hang right on their collar or clip on to their harness with a removable holder.

Keeping close tabs on their dog’s whereabouts has never looked better. This smart little case uses Gucci’s signature logo print to conceal the AirTag hanging on their collar. If you really want to go the extra mile, might I suggest the matching collar, leash, and bag holder to go with it?

If the dog lover in your life plans to cart their pet on vacation, make sure they’re packing a snow lodge look for their pup. This new sweater from Aerie is knit with a perfectly seasonal Fair Isle pattern, and it has a handy slit for reaching a dog harness underneath. And yes, there’s an equally cuddly adult sweater to match.

Staud has an entire custom shop dedicated to gifts for pet owners. Of all the options, I love the idea of a shoulder bag punctuated with a painted portrait of a beloved dog. It’s a one of a kind twist on the little black purse—and it’ll let the pet owner carry their best furry friend everywhere.

Gift-givers can simply upload a photo of their recipient’s pet to the site to get the order started. (Note: Orders must be placed by November 11 for guaranteed Christmas delivery. Art takes time!)

If their dog has a shoe addiction, give them their first (and only) dedicated pair of red bottoms. Louboutin cleverly released a dog-friendly version of its studded sneaker, crafted from a safe-to-chew rubber with a squeaker hidden inside. Trust, this is going to be their favorite, and most fashionable, new toy.

There’s no time of day that dogs love more than meal time. Make it a moment that the dog and owner can both enjoy with a colorful (and top-rated) set of bistro tile bowls.

Everything you’ve heard about Lululemon’s belt bags is true. It’s durable, lightweight, and easy to adjust—perfect for stashing an extra ball or bag of treats when they’re taking the dog to the park. (This is exactly what I use mine for, for what it’s worth.)

When Skims said the entire family could dress up in its holiday collection, dogs were included. This easy-on, easy-off fleece hoodie comes in four shades of plaid that coordinate with Skims’ sweatsuits and slippers.

Match your pet to your crystal-embellished Prada Cleo, or let them shine all on their own. This extravagant accessory will definitely get noticed at the dog park.

The most discerning dog lovers will do backflips for this new Bode work shirt. It has the utility fit and heritage toile prints that have made Bode a cult-followed label, but with a dog-centric design.
