For the dog parent that spends way too much money spoiling their pup
BarkBox is a monthly subscription program that sends dog parents a box full of fun toys and treats. Each month has a different theme — like this too-cute date night box and this baller NBA-inspired one.
Gift this to your friend that spends way too much dough on toys and treats. Think: your friends with an over-the-top chewer that destroys every toy or someone that just can't not buy that stuffed poop emoji in the pet store window.
You can either gift a box or a gift card — the choice is yours.

Lucy & Co.'s dog outfits are literally the cutest things we've ever seen. The company sells collars, leashes, and harnesses — but you'll melt the second you see a pup sporting one of the hoodies, raincoats, or puffer vests.
One of our editors bought a puffer vest for her pup last year and was super impressed by what a lifesaver it was when the snow started piling up. She says it kept her dog dry and warm, even when trotting through a foot and a half of snow. And it doesn't hurt that it keeps them lookin' fab, either.

Contrary to popular belief, some cat owners want to take their cats places. But rather than tote them around in an uncomfy kennel, you can now give your kitty a first class seat with a cat backpack. These spacesuit-esque backpacks make it easy to transport your feline friends and show them off at the same time.
The company has a bunch of different versions of the backpack — from city chic options to a full on adventure pack complete with travel bowls and a harness. If you're not sure which one to gift your fave cat parent, you can also give them a gift card so they can choose their own.

If your giftee brings their dog literally everywhere — even on family vacays to the beach — their pup is going to need a life jacket to stay safe (and look cute as hell) near any body of water.
And yes of course (most) dogs can swim — but if something unexpected happens, a life jacket like this will give your friend peace of mind that their little one is protected.
One of our editors uses this on her dog and says it's a literal life saver. She also says the handle is perfect for pulling him out of the water if he falls in.

Sure, it's easy to assume that people that WFH with a pet have it made: midday snuggles, afternoon walks, and no need to shell out $$$ for doggy day care.
But in reality, having a dog as a coworker is pretty distracting — especially if they're young or the highly energetic type. That's where a snuffle mat can do wonders.
Snuffle mats keep dogs busy for a looong time — much longer than traditional puzzle toys that you have to keep refilling over and over again. Load up the mat with your dog's food or fave treats and they'll be occupied for at least half a Zoom call. But the best part is the sniffing tires them out, so they'll be ready to chill after 1 or 2 rounds of sniffing.
