Holiday Gift Guide for Dogs – 2024

I feel like we won the lottery when it comes to Goldie + Pennie, they are SO different but that’s what we love about them. Here’s their favorites as well as ours. Check out the HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR CATS too!

Collar – Pennie and Goldie have used these for years.. we’ve only had to replace one time because Pennie chewed it apart YEARS AGO (along with my AirPods… ya know, puppy stuff.)

Bandanas – It’s the cutest thing when dogs wear bandanas. These ones are fun! I also found some cute Christmas ones

Dog Bed – Lola blankets came out with a dog bed and it is truly the greatest thing. It sold out so quickly but hopefully it restocks soon. I swear it is the nicest piece of furniture in our whole house. Code TARA works for a discount!

Air Tags – I put these in collar holders to track the dogs in case they get out. The collar attachment slides right on to a collar so it won’t come off.

Poop Bags + Dispenser – It’s definitely not glamorous, but it’s small and gets the job done.

Brush – Love this brush, super sturdy and great for Goldie and Pennie’s curly hair. Even though our dogs aren’t supposed to shed, they still do a little bit and the deshedding undercoat brush is amazing, too!

No Hands Poop Picker Upper – When I saw this my jaw was on the floor… okay I may be exaggerating but not having to put your hands in bag to pick up fresh poop is a win in my book. 

Portable Waterer – We love this! Super easy on the go for walks, road trips, you name it.

Mud Buster – If you’ve got a dog like Pennie, this will be helpful. Gets the mud off their paws with a simple scrub.

Henry Clean Spray – This stuff is amazing. Spray on the dogs and they will smell soooo good. We use it all the time! Code TARA will save you 20%! 

Kong Ball – These are basically indestructible. Such a great toy if you’ve got a dog that chew through everything. 

Collapsible Bowl – Great for water or food if your on the go! It has a suction cup bottom which is so nice if you’ve got an aggressive eater.

Stain + Odor Eliminator – I’ve had to use this more in the last year than I care to admit.. mostly for the dang cats! It works so well though on all urine.. I use it in our bathrooms too.

Bully Sticks – Goldie and Pennie’s favorite treat! I just can’t think about what they are made of.. haha

Comb – This is the best comb when it comes to getting matted hair out. Golden doodle hair is so high maintenance when it comes to matts and this is best comb I’ve found to keep it nice!

Wireless Pet Gate – I could not recommend the wireless pet gate enough! Besides the fact that we have to carry the dogs over the yard to go on walks (we left the gate on one time.. WHOOPS!) It has been one of the best purchases we have made for them, gives me so much piece of mind. Ours has been turned off while we’ve gotten the pool built and I’m STOKED to have it back.

Qalo Tag – We’ve had these on both of the dogs for years! You can customize them and even add a QR code to contact you. They are so durable and have way cute designs.

Dog Treat Puzzle Toy – If your dogs swallow treats whole before you can even blink, this toy is great, helps keep them engaged while also getting those beloved treats.

Leash – Similar to the collar.. we’ve had this one for years! Braun loves them. I would rather THIS ONE with THIS ONE but the other works great. LOL.

Toothpaste and Toothbrush – Let’s be real, dog breath is the WORST. We use this for Goldie and Pennie and it works wonders.

Plaque Off – This was recommended by our vet when I took my pups in last. He said it works miracles on plaque on your pups teeth. You mix it in with their food twice a day.. super easy and helps with stinky breath too!

Car Bed/Hammock – We originally bought one for car rides to hopefully keep the pups in the backseat and not in my lap and had to go back and get a second. Goldie doesn’t leave it when we are on the road and Pennie isn’t in my face AS much!

Bark Box – A subscription box of treats and toys. They do themed boxes which is so fun! Plus their toys are the best quality too!

Eye Wipes – Do your dogs get eye crustys like mine? These are great at getting rid of them! Just wipe them out and their good to go, helps with irritation too.

Sweater – I imagine Goldie in this and it makes my heart so happy. Talk about a classy dog sweater! Is that even a thing? hah

Shampoo & Conditioner – Helps so much with itching and smells so great! We’ve been through a couple and like this one a lot.

Paw Soother – Helps so much with those crusty paws. Once they are nice and moisturized put on some Musher’s Paw wax to help protect their paws!

Lick Pads – We give these to Pennie and Goldie when we need them in one place for a bit, slap some PB on there and you’re good to go! It works great when we need to brush their hair and trim their nails. We also like to freeze them with peanut butter on it too.

Lola Dog Bed – Okay, not sure how they did it, but this may be nicer than my actual bed? haha It’s so soft and my dogs are obsessed! Code TARA will save you!
