‘Tis the season to be jolly…and let our crazy pet parent mindset shine through! If you’re anything like me, 90% of your wish list is pet-related.
With only two weeks left until Christmas (crazy!), here’s the ultimate “last minute” gift guide for you to find the perfect gift for a fellow crazy pet parent. Or, to inspire some gift ideas for yourself!
I Could Chew on this: And Other Poems by Dogs
A family member got this book for us and let me tell you…we crack up at every poem! This is the perfect coffee table book and it very accurately portrays a dog’s thoughts.
Pick up a copy from Chewy, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Furbo Dog Camera
I’ve recommended the Furbo Dog Camera before, and still think it’s a great gift! You can see your pets while you’re away (…aka stalk your pet all day, wondering why you ever left them in the first place). You can also talk to them through the speaker and even toss treats to them!
Check out Furbo to learn more. It’s also available from Amazon.
donation to a local rescue or shelter
Helping to save a life is the perfect gift for any animal lover. Donate to a local rescue or shelter in someone’s name this holiday season – or even sponsor an animal for adoption on behalf of a loved one!
I'd Rather Be With my Dog Shirt
Ask any pet parent if they’d rather be with their dog, and I’m confident the answer will be “yes!” I have an “I’d Rather Be With My Dog” shirt and get so many compliments on it.
Plus, this company donates 5-10% of its sales every month to a different animal rescue or cause. It’s a win-win gift!
Pet House Candle
As cute as pets are…they don’t always smell like roses. Candles are a great gift or stocking stuffer for anyone, and this brand is made with 100% natural soy wax and no dyes.
Find your favorite scent at One Fur All Pets and even find select options from Chewy.
2020 Dog Planner
It’s almost the new year, which means many people are shopping around for a new planner. With this planner, they can stay organized in style – and with a smile every time they look at these cartoon pups.
Get this planner from Paper Source.
Dog Ate my Mad Libs

Pooch Selfie
We all want to take photos with our pets…but they don’t always cooperate. The Pooch Selfie uses a tennis ball to help you get the perfect selfie! Just attach it to a smartphone and you’ll be able to snap all the photos you could ever want.
Check out Pooch Selfie, Chewy or Bed Bath & Beyond.
Wisdom Panel DNA Test
Us humans want to know our ancestry, so who wouldn’t want to know their pup’s ancestry as well?? For rescue parents, their dog’s breed can be a guessing game. Help take some of the guesswork out of it with a Wisdom Panel DNA test.
We did this test for Roxanne (which is how I found out I’m a border collie mom!), and just sent in the test for Gracie as well.
BarkBox Subscription
A dog mom or dad can never have too many toys (or treats!) for their pup. Consider gifting a subscription to BarkBox this season. It’s the perfect “last-minute” (or any minute!) gift. BarkBox’s are delivered monthly, and you can gift one month or up to a full year subscription.
Not sure which subscription to go with, or want to leave it up to the recipient? You can purchase a gift card!

For the home (or apartment) owner in your life, gift them the perfect doormat. Anyone who goes to knock on their door will know there are some furry friends (and a pet lover too) waiting on the other side!
