This guide is all about finding the best Valentine's gifts for dogs (and their owners of course). We've got fun and useful gift ideas that will make everyone feel happy and loved.
Our Favourite Valentine’s Day Gifts for Dogs & Dog Lovers
See if you can think of all the special people and their pooches who'd enjoy a nice surprise on their special day.
Healthy Dog Treats for Valentine's Day
We decided to support small businesses and found some fantastic Valentine's Day dog treats on Etsy. Many of these are made with natural, healthy ingredients and look absolutely adorable, too!
Now, a little word of warning if you're buying dog treats: Just be careful with those homemade treats that use food colouring or sugary bits. You could find some treats advertised as “natural” on Etsy with really red icing or bright pink, but they didn't list any food colouring in the ingredients. There's just no way they could get that bright colour without using it. Proper sellers will say if they use beetroot for colouring, and you can tell because the colour looks more natural and not so artificial.
The Essential BioThane Dog Lead
Want to get a gift that shows you really care? A BioThane dog lead is just the ticket for a dog lover. BioThane material is fantastic – it's made with a strong webbing inside and coated with a soft, easy-to-grip PVC outer layer. This makes it strong, waterproof, and anti-microbial, which is great for those long walks, come rain or shine.
The best part is that BioThane won't get wet and heavy like other leads, and dries in a flash. So, after a splashy walk or a swim, just wipe it, and it'll be ready for its next adventure, a quality gift that will last and keep your pooch safe.
Round Dog Bed for Senior Dogs
It can be hard to find good presents for older dogs. Many of them don't like playing with toys anymore. It might seem like a lot of money, but I always get my old dog a new bed. She loves those soft, round beds as they keep her warm and help her stiff legs feel better.
If you have an older dog who sleeps a lot or a dog that gets worried and needs a safe place to curl up, then a round bed is a good idea. You can find various designs in shops or online. Look for the best one and always read what other dog owners say about it.
Adjustable Dog Harness
For a Valentine’s gift that’s both practical and shows you care, think about a high-quality dog harness. No dog should be without it, even the most well-behaved pets. An adjustable harness, in particular, is a great option because it gives the owner much better control, which means they can easily guide their dog and teach them good walking habits. It's much easier for your friend to keep their dog safe and under control on their walks, whilst being a lovely gift this Valentine's Day.
Handmade Tuxedo Dog Bandana
Want a stylish gift for your dog but don't want to spend too much? These cute handmade in the UK bandanas are extra comfy and make a lovely, special Valentine’s Day gift.
Natural Toys or Long-lasting Chews
When dogs get bored, they'll chew on just about anything! Often, that's the furniture or those phone chargers. If your friend's dog is somewhat of a chewer, those budget toys will be gone in no time! That's the real benefit of natural, long-lasting chews. Instead of going for plastic, rawhide, or anything that could hurt their dog, think about a lovely natural option that will keep them healthy and occupied for a long time.
Dog Poop Bag Holder
Dog lovers know that one of the loveliest things about having a dog is the daily walks. It's a great way to spend time with your best mate, especially on those nice, long summer days when the weather is just glorious.
But, if we are being honest, when it comes to cleaning up after them, things aren't so pretty. That's why a really good dog poo bag holder is such a useful gift for any dog owner. It can make those walks far more comfortable and more convenient.
Custom Dog Portrait Mug
Any dog lover would be happy to start their day with a cuppa in a mug that reminds them of their pet. There are many customizable shops where you can get mugs with pictures of your pet on them, or drawn digitally as a portrait, maybe even with their name. You can find ones that are safe for the dishwasher, oven, and microwave, too.
Dog Car Seat
Letting dogs travel without being secured is a real worry – they could get hurt if the car stops suddenly, and they might even cause an accident if they distract the driver. A dog car seat is the perfect answer, providing a safe, cosy, and comfortable way for your dog to travel by car.
There are multiple options online, so it's worth having a good look around. Make sure to find brands that you trust and always read what other dog owners are saying about them. It's also a great idea to see if you can find videos of the car seat – seeing how it's set up and how secure it looks can be helpful.
Final Thoughts
You can make Valentine's Day more fun in so many ways. Some people choose to get small gifts, for their dog or a special person. Others might take their dog for a special long walk, perhaps asking someone who might be lonely this Valentine's Day.
