If there's anyone in our lives who deserves to be showered in gifts and treats as much as possible, it's dogs. They provide unconditional love, cuddles, and they're never judgmental (plus, they're pretty darn cute, too). Still, it can be surprisingly hard to come up with fun, creative, and practical gifts for pets — and the owners that love them. The shopping process can lead to thoughts like: Are they really going to like those fancy treats? Are they going to ignore a new bed and instead keep sleeping on their beloved spot on the couch? Do they really need another new toy? Still, buying gifts for dogs (and dog moms and dads) can be a fun process if you just know where to look.

Whether you opt for a custom pet portrait, a luxury dog outfit, some outdoor gear for a dog that likes to go on long walks, or just some special, homemade treats, showing your favorite dog some extra love and attention is always a good idea. Just remember, buying gifts for dogs is a lot like shopping for Christmas gifts or birthday presents for humans — it's the thought that counts more than anything else.
