6 Gifts Dog Owners Will Actually Use
Dog owners already have enough mugs with paw prints on them. These six gifts get used on every walk, every day, and none of them will end up in a drawer.
1A harness with their dog's name on it.
A gift that's clearly theirs: a padded harness with the dog's name, and the owner's phone number if you know it, printed on the side patch.
It slips over the head and closes with one buckle, the chest strap is padded, a front D-ring that curbs pulling is built in, and there's a top handle for close control. Sizes go from XS to XXL by chest measurement, so if you can, sneak a tape measure around the dog first.
Because every harness is made to order with the dog's name, it doesn't feel like a generic gift. It's the one item on this list that's made for that one dog.
2A sturdy leash.
Leashes get chewed, frayed, rained on and left at the park. A new one is always welcome, and our Bungee Leash (4 ft) matches the harness.
If they already have a leash they love, a spare one for the car or the office is just as useful.
3A towel that lives by the door.
Muddy paws, rainy walks, beach days. An absorbent towel on a hook by the door saves the couch, the car and the hallway floor.
Microfiber dries fast and goes straight in the wash. Buy two: one for the door, one for the car.
4A long-lasting chew.
Something to keep the dog busy while the owner works or cooks. Pick one sized for the dog, and supervise with any chew.
If you're not sure what the dog likes, ask the owner casually what they've tried. Most dogs have strong opinions.
5A car seat cover.
If the dog rides along, a washable seat cover keeps fur and mud off the back seat. Look for one with a non-slip back and easy straps.
For the front seat or a small car, a simple waterproof blanket does the same job.
6A photo print of the dog.
Owners take hundreds of photos of their dog and print almost none. Pick a favorite from their social media, print it big and frame it.
It's cheap, personal, and it'll still be on the wall years from now.

Questions
I don't know the dog's size.
Sizes go by chest measurement, at the widest point just behind the front legs: XS 16–21", S 21–25", M 24–30", L 27–34", XL 29–38", XXL 33–44". Between sizes? Slim dogs take the smaller size, broad dogs the bigger one. Size exchanges are free if it doesn't fit.
How long does it take?
Each harness is made to order with the dog's name. Orders are processed within 1–3 business days and most arrive 5–12 business days after you order, so allow around 2 weeks.
Do I have to add a phone number?
No, the phone number is optional. The dog's name on its own works too.
