2020 Dog Family Holiday Gift Guide

2020 Dog Family Holiday Gift Guide

I have to confess that I’m not very good at coming up with good gift ideas for my family members. But when it comes to our dogs or dog families, my idea fountain overflows! This holiday gift guide for dog families includes some of my favorite items – both for the human and dog members of the family.

For the love of science

For families who have always wondered what breed Fido is, solve the mystery with this DNA testing kit by Embark*. Not only will you learn what breeds have blended together to create your wonderful dog, but you can use this information to better understand some of his quirks and perks!

Get out and about

My absolute favorite leashes and longlines are made by Trailblazing Tails. They are made from biothane, which is comfortable in the hand and wipes clean easily. They are strong and adaptable, with clips that can be used for a variety of uses – from wearing the leash to attaching it to both front and back rings on the Freedom Harness. Save 15% on your purchase.

Giving Back

I am a sucker for a good story and for supporting companies that give back. The Kenyan Collection is such a company, creating beautifully hand crafted leashes and collars, but also employing Kenyan mothers, bringing them out of poverty. Use the code Loyal10 to save 10% on your purchase.

Be a Detective

Set your family up for success by learning to understand your dog’s body language. This new book, Doggie Language*, by the amazing Lili Chin is educational for parents and kids, alike. Read it together and challenge yourselves to identify these forms of communication in the family dog. It’s fun and sets you up for a safer relationship with your dog.

Preach

I’ll confess that I’m a dog nerd. As such, it’s fun to wear clothing that shares a message. My new favorite shirt, by WoofCultr, simply says “Reward Your Dog” in rainbow lettering. It’s subtle. But some of the items on their website make a MUCH bolder statement, such as “Train your dog, b*tch” or “Leash your dog, it’s the law” and “Y’all need science.” Regardless of how much passion for dog training you have,WoofCultr has many items that are perfect for any dog lover. Use the coupon code POOCHP15 to save 15% until 12/31/2020.

Everything Else a Dog Family Needs
