Gifts for Dog Lovers

Dog people are some of the easiest people to shop for, because the best gift is often one for their dog. This guide gathers our favorite picks for pups and the humans who love them.

SodaPup eMat lick mats are a favorite for good reason. They come in fun designs like whales, turtles, lighthouses, tulips and autumn leaves, and the suction cups help keep them in place on the floor or the side of the tub. The Garden of Eatin' Tipsy Bowl adds a wobble for pups who like a little challenge at mealtime.

For rainy-day walks, choose from hooded raincoats, capes and full-coverage suits in many sizes and colors. Owners of small dogs who travel may love the travel pet stroller with an adjustable handlebar, and multi-pet homes can use the 7L stainless steel water dispenser.

Want to build a bundle? Pair a raincoat with a lick mat or two in different designs, so the dog has something for walk time and something for downtime at home.

When choosing, think about the dog's size, energy level and favorite activities. A rain-shy walker, a snack-motivated pup and a small dog who loves to ride along all need different things, and the product pages list the sizes and details to help you pick.

Gift guide FAQ

How do I choose a gift for a dog lover?

Think about the dog's size, age and habits. Enrichment items like lick mats suit pups who love food, raincoats suit regular walkers, and a stroller suits small dogs who travel with their owners.

What size raincoat should I buy?

Measure the dog's back length and chest girth and compare them with the size chart on the product page. If you are buying for someone else's dog, ask the owner for these measurements.

Are lick mats suitable for cats too?

Many SodaPup eMats are listed for both dogs and cats. Check the product description for the recommended pet size.

What should I spread on a lick mat?

Use a thin layer of soft food or a lickable paste the dog already eats, and ask the owner about any foods their dog should avoid. Wash the mat after each use.
