29 Best Gifts for Dog Lovers in 2023

Start subtle, with a chain bracelet that dog moms can slot into their everyday rotation. It comes in 14K gold, white gold, and rose gold for perfectly coordinating with the rest of their stack.

It’s time their pet is treated like a true passenger princess. This tricked-out travel dog bag from Celine’s updated dog collection has a lined interior for chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and other pint-size dogs to comfortably curl up on the go. When it’s time for a treat, they can poke their head out of the curved opening on the side. A metal hook on a leather strap can also secure to the pup’s harness for added security.

For the pet who’s the center of attention, and maybe the center of their universe, this sweater will be a hit. It comes in five shades and sizes up to 2XL.

Yes, the dog-lover appeal here is mostly in the label. But once they taste this top-rated cab sav, it’ll be their favorite to pair with all sorts of (human) treats.

Maybe they’re traveling somewhere dogs aren’t allowed, or maybe they’re dog-obsessed without a dog of their own yet. This pint-sized French bulldog, crafted from MCM’s monogram coated leather, is the next best thing. (And so adorable!)

Sandy Liang’s take on dog-mom matching, from a just-released collaboration with Little Beast, will be the talk of the dog run. This knitted cardigan brings the look of 2023’s girlhood trend to dogs from teacup poodles to Great Danes, and it coordinates with a cropped sweater for owners. For a full puppy-and-parent wardrobe, the collaboration also includes a charming, ribbon-adorned puffer jacket and one of Sandy’s signature fleeces, shrunk down to dog sizing.

Engrave their pet’s initials on one of Mejuri’s customizable pet tags. Not only do these stainless steel tags look excellent on any collar—and keep their shine through muddy days at the park—they also open the door to ordering a coordinating jewelry gift for the owner.

While the pooch curls up on their bed, the owner can get to work on this 1,000-piece puzzle illustrated with very good boys and girls. If the person on your list is also a “Cat Person,” there’s a second edition of this puzzle just for them. Both puzzles are pretty enough to frame when complete.

If they’re going to log miles traipsing through the neighborhood with their dog in tow, help them get their steps in with this year’s celebrity-approved walking shoe. The New Balance 550 has been worn by Taylor Swift, Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner, and other stars; it’s got a retro look and supportive design that earns the Hollywood hype. (And in Emrata’s case, it’s literally a dog walking shoe.)

HVN brought three vintage-inspired prints to Wild One’s best-selling bundle of a collar, leash, and waste-bag holder. The result is the most charming set of walk necessities you can find online right now. Each set comes in a bright shade that will stand out against any puppy’s fur. (The better for the inevitable Instagrams that will follow.)

Every leash needs a convenient waste-bag holder. Why not make it cute? This little bag from designer Anya Hindmarch takes the form of a pint-size dachshund. Maybe with it clipped to the leash, they’ll stop asking for a second puppy … maybe.

Saatva makes the highest-rated mattresses for people and pets. This dog bed, available in three shades suitable for any home, is well cushioned and crafted in a stain- and spill-resistant fabric. Dogs will be so comfortable, they may just give up sleeping in their owners’ beds.

Chances are, the dog lover in your life knows they’re a little obsessed. This cheeky ornament lets everyone else in on the joke, with shimmering beads that will glisten on their Christmas tree.

Hundreds of pet parents swear by this Away travel carrier for toting their small dogs on flights. It has all the functional features that make Away’s regular luggage so good, like smart storage compartments and an easy-to-clean fabric. There’s also a trolley sleeve so it can slide right on top of a carry-on bag. Some dog owners say they’ve had two tiny dogs curl up in one together—it’s that sneakily spacious.

In some houses, the most comfortable couch for a dog is the one they’re not supposed to touch. (But they manage to jump up anyway.) Sundays has made it possible for pets and their owners to cuddle up without the risk of spills, stains, and odors, thanks to its durable and spot-resistant fabric. Owning one myself, I can speak to its easy-to-clean properties—and vouch that my dog loves laying down on the movable ottoman.

Some dogs like to wander. Make sure their owners always know where their pet is roaming with a set of shiny new AirTags from Apple. They can hang right on a pup’s collar or clip on to a harness with a removable holder.

Keeping close tabs on their dog’s whereabouts has never looked better. This smart little case uses Gucci’s signature logo print to conceal the AirTag hanging on their collar. If you really want to go the extra mile, might I suggest the matching collar, leash, and bag holder to go with it?

If the dog lover in your life plans to cart their pet on vacation, make sure they’re packing a snow-lodge look for their pup. This new sweater from Aerie is knit with a perfectly seasonal Fair Isle pattern, and it has a handy slit for reaching a dog harness underneath. And yes, there’s an equally cuddly adult sweater to match.

Staud has an entire custom shop dedicated to gifts for pet owners. Of all the options, I love the idea of a shoulder bag punctuated with a painted portrait of a beloved dog. It’s a one-of-a-kind twist on the little black purse—and it’ll let the pet owner carry their best furry friend everywhere.

Gift givers can simply upload a photo of their recipient’s pet to the site to get the order started. (Note: Orders must be placed by November 11 for guaranteed Christmas delivery. Art takes time!)
