Dogs are more than just pets — they're family. And since the holidays give us a chance to spoil the ones who matter most, it's time to start looking for unique dog gifts!

If you still need to figure out what your furry friend would like from Santa Paws, explore this list of the best gifts for dogs and their owners. From calming chews to the squeakiest toys, our holiday gift guide for dogs has something for all your fur-ever friends. 

So, without further ado, here are our favorite gifts for dog owners and their furbabies. 

1. The Ultimate Pet Nail Grinder

Trimming your dog's nails every three to four weeks helps them to move and play pain-free. While some dogs don't mind an occasional "pedicure," other breeds — ahem, German shepherds — can make this task quite challenging for pet owners. 

But there is a solution: the Ultimate Pet Nail Grinder. This grooming tool features a revolutionary diamond-head design with two LED lights, enabling you to spot the quick on puppies and older dogs. Nail quicks contain blood vessels and nerves, so it's essential pet owners see this area easily to prevent over-grinding. 

If you're going away for the holidays with your four-pawed friend, you'll also love this grinder for its portability. It's lightweight and rechargeable with any USB device, such as a laptop or power bank.

But perhaps the nicest thing about the Ultimate Nail Grinder is its whisper-quiet operation. With sounds of less than 40 decimals, this grinder is approximately half as loud as other brands, making it one of the best gifts for dog owners with anxious hounds.

2. Chews 

As a proud dog mom or dad, you want one thing for your pet: for them to live a long and healthy life. Dog supplement chews help you maintain your furry friend's health, providing a delicious nutrient boost. The LuckyTail chew range contains all-natural ingredients to support a variety of dog conditions. 

Calming Chews 

Thunderstorms, honking horns and alarm sirens typically make our furry friends anxious. Over the holidays, we can add another loud bang to the mix: fireworks. 

Calming Chews by LuckyTail contain a blend of natural ingredients known for their calming properties, such as melatonin, magnesium and hemp oil. They're a great gift for dog owners to use all year round, especially ahead of New Year's Eve fireworks displays. 

Skin & Coat Supplement Chews

Just like humans, a dog's skin may be more prone to dryness during the winter months. As a result, your hound can experience discomfort and itchiness. 

Skin & Coat Supplement Chews effectively boost skin hydration with a unique blend of biotin and coconut oil, wild Alaskan salmon and flaxseed oils. For dog lovers who enjoy cuddling their fluffy pooches, this may be the greatest gift yet. 

Hip & Joint Chews 

Our furry friends may experience some hip and joint discomfort as they age. While all dog breeds can experience hip dysplasia and joint issues, they're more common in larger dog breeds. 

LuckyTail Hip & Joint Chews contain a powerful combination of glucosamine and chondroitin, which helps to protect the cartilage and improve joint fluids for better comfort. 

3. Toys 

Playing with your dog helps them get exercise and keeps them stimulated. Plus, playtime gives pet owners the chance to spend quality time with their pups, making toys perfect gift ideas for a dog. Some of the all-time favorite toys for dogs include: 

• Balls: A simple game of "fetch" is an excellent way to keep your dog occupied. Keep the dog lover in your life stocked for the year ahead by filling their Christmas stocking with toy balls. 
• Squeaky toys: While dog owners are not always the biggest fans of these loud toys, they're a must-have for furry friends! Reward your dog for being the "goodest" boy or girl with a squeaky toy. 
• Puzzle toys: Puzzle toys help keep intelligent dogs occupied and stimulated. Dogs will move the "puzzle parts" with their nose to unlock the hidden treats.
• Tug toys: These interactive toys offer a positive solution for releasing energy. Tug toys also provide an outlet for dogs with a stronger prey drive, reducing the likelihood of problematic behavior. 
• Plush toys: Dogs of all ages enjoy plush toys, but they are particularly great gift options for puppies. When a puppy joins a new family, soft plush toys can comfort them and help them settle in more quickly. However, you may want to avoid these toys if your pup is notorious for chewing things up!

4. Accessories 

Accessories are next on our holiday gift guide for dogs. If you know someone who has recently adopted a new furry family member, dog accessories will make the perfect gift. Here are some common accessories new dog parents need: 

• Leash: From retractable leads to anti-pull varieties, leashes make a functional gift for dog owners. 
• Collar: Collars are a functional and stylish gift. They come in various colors and designs to fit every pup's personality. 
• Brush: Brushing a dog is vital to their grooming and helps them stay happy and healthy.
• Lick mat: Pair a lick mat with a tub of dog-friendly peanut butter, and you've got one of the best gift ideas for a dog.
• Paw balm: We all need a little tender loving care from time to time, and our dogs are no different. A quality paw balm will help moisturize their paws and keep them from cracking. 
• Engraved dog tag: Adding a customized dog tag to a collar helps keep dogs safe while adding a personal touch to your gift.
• Treat bag: Rewarding a dog at appropriate times helps to encourage good behavior, and a treat bag makes rewards easily accessible. 

5. Doggy Bed

With the cold season setting in, a new dog bed is one of the best gifts for dog lovers. Pups can cuddle up in their bed while their owner relaxes on the couch with a movie or a cup of hot chocolate. They'll both remain comfy and cozy in even the chilliest of winter days. If you're trying to train your pup not to sleep on your bed, this is also a fantastic option!

Just like human beds, different dog beds offer various features. For example, if your friend has an older dog, you may look for a heated bed that will soothe their aching joints. Dogs who have a tendency to jump into the muddiest puddles will need easy-to-wash beds, so look for bedding options with removable covers. Owners can conveniently toss them into the washing machine when they get grubby.
