20 Tail-Waggingly Delightful Gifts to Get Your Pet This Holiday Season

For the Pup Who Deserves a Spa Day

Every good puppy deserves a little pampering! Earth Rated’s shampoo-and-conditioner combo is formulated for sensitive skin, leaving fur soft, shiny and smelling amazing — without irritating dry, allergy-prone breeds. The gentle, pH-balanced formula cleans without stripping natural oils, leaving behind a salon-level coat that’ll make your pup look like they just came from the groomer. Consider it self-care for your four-legged bestie.

For the Mystery Rescue Dog

Ever wondered if your rescue pup’s elegant trot hints at a touch of Greyhound? Or if those floppy ears come from a Cocker Spaniel ancestor? Embark’s DNA test kit reveals your dog’s full breed breakdown, ancestry and even potential health risks. It’s the ultimate gift for pet parents who love to know every adorable detail about their fur baby’s past, and it’s as fun as it is fascinating. When I adopted my rescue mix, Peanut, I got the Embark kit for her. The information it provided was so helpful for both me and her vet (and I have gotten to see some of her relatives, which is even cooler).

For the Fetch Fanatic

Got a pup who could play fetch from sunrise to sunset? These indestructible rubber balls are up for the challenge. Designed for aggressive chewers and endless games of fetch, the ball also bounces to keep playtime exciting. Plus, it helps protect your pup’s teeth in the process! You can get a set of up to eight balls, sized perfectly for your pet. Bonus: they’re easy to rinse off after muddy park sessions, so your dog’s favorite toy stays fresh for longer.

For the Nervous Canine Cutie

Holiday fireworks? Thunderstorm? Delivery drivers galore? If your dog gets spooked easily, the ThunderShirt Classic Dog Anxiety Jacket is a must-have. It’s like a comforting hug that your pet can wear, and the gentle, constant pressure helps reduce anxiety in stressful situations, like car rides or vet visits. It’s vet-recommended, easy to put on and machine-washable (a gift for both pet and parent). The thoughtful pick will help your anxious little one stay calm, cool and cuddle-ready.

For the Snack-Obsessed

It’s the ultimate gift for devoted pet parents since it lets you toss treats, talk to your dog or cat and see every adorable antic in full HD. The rotating lens means you’ll never miss a tail wag, and smart alerts let you know if your pet is barking or moving. It even sends alerts for glass breaking, smoke and intruders. Peace of mind (plus so much cuteness), delivered.

For Adventurous Dogs

For dogs who live for hikes, park days and road trips, this portable water bottle is a must. It’s leak-proof, easy to carry and dispenses liquid straight into a built-in bowl — no more wasting half a bottle trying to pour into your hand.
