Gifts for Dog Lovers (even if you don't know a thing about dogs)
Shopping for a friend who talks about their dog more than their kids? You're in the right place. Tell us what kind of dog they have, and we'll show you gifts made just for that breed: shirts, sweatshirts, Christmas ornaments, car decals and treats for the pup.

Step 1
What kind of dog does your friend have?
or tap a popular breed
How big is the dog?
What does its fur look like?
Is it a mixed breed or a rescue? Go with a custom ornament made from a photo of their dog, or pick from the gifts every dog lover loves.
- Scroll their social media. Dog people post their dog. A lot. Look for hashtags like #goldenretriever or #newfie.
- Just ask, casually. "Your dog is so cute, what kind is he?" Dog people love this question and will never suspect a thing.
- Check their car. Many dog people have a breed sticker on the back window.
- Ask a mutual friend or a family member. Someone knows.
- Send us a photo. Not sure from a picture? Send it to us and we'll take a guess.

Gifts every dog lover will love
Don't know the breed, or it's a mix? These are safe bets. Treats and toys for the pup always win the dog owner's heart, and a gift card lets them pick their favorite design.
Fetching the goodies…
Does your friend do dog sports?
If they talk about "trials," "runs," "Qs" or "titles," the answer is yes. These shirts get the inside jokes.

Start my wish listDog-lover gift questions, answered
What is a good gift for someone who loves their dog?
The best gift shows off their dog's breed. Dog people love anything with "their" dog on it: a shirt or sweatshirt, a Christmas ornament for the tree, or a decal for the car. Treats and toys for the pup are a sure hit too, because making the dog happy makes the owner happy.
What if I don't know what breed their dog is?
Use our "I'm not sure!" helper above: answer two quick questions about the dog's size and fur, and we'll suggest breeds. You can also peek at their social media or just ask. Dog people love talking about their dogs. For a mixed breed or rescue, a custom ornament made from a photo of their dog or a Wiggle Dogz gift card is perfect.
Are these gifts for the dog or for the person?
Both! Every gift is labeled. Shirts, sweatshirts, ornaments and decals are "for the human," and treats, toys and drool bibs are "for the pup."
What are good stocking stuffers for dog lovers?
Breed Christmas ornaments ($15), car decals ($6) and natural dog chews and treats all fit in a stocking. See all of our stocking stuffers in one place. Shop stocking stuffers.
When should I order for Christmas?
As early as you can! Many of our gifts are made by hand to order, and shipping gets busy in December, so the sooner you order, the better.
Can I get an ornament of their actual dog?
Yes. Our custom Christmas ornament is made from a photo of their dog. It's one of our most loved gifts, especially for mixed breeds and rescues. Order a custom ornament.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes. Wiggle Dogz gift cards start at $10, so your friend can pick their favorite design themselves. Get a gift card.
