Dogs may be our best friends, but this doesn’t mean much unless we treat them as such. After all, we frequently do favors for our friends and family and exchange gifts with them. But, with our furry pets, we often assume that feeding and walking them is enough. Why not do something extra every once in a while, like share the holiday fun by buying Christmas gifts for dogs?

If you’re thinking about doing something special for your pooch this holiday season, below we’ve compiled a list of 35 cool gifts – Christmas-themed and otherwise – that you can give your four-legged pal this winter and make them even happier.

Since the holidays are typically quite taxing for our wallets, we’ve focused on gift ideas that are on the cheaper end of the scale, but that doesn’t mean that they are of poor quality. Instead, we tried to find Christmas gifts for dogs that had the best price/quality ratio and also wouldn’t break the bank.

When you're shopping for the best Christmas gifts for dogs, whether your pet or another furry friend on your list, just think about what the dog is interested in. Does he like to play with toys? Is he a senior pet that enjoys snuggling up for a long nap? Choose a gift that he will enjoy, and you're sure to have one happy Christmas pup!
