Our pets are basically our kids, so of course, we can’t forget to spoil them with gifts (yes, multiple!) during the holidays. Whether you’re a dog devotee, cat fanatic, a proud pet parent, auntie or friend, we’ve gathered a list of the most awesome, unique gifts for your favorite furry companions, and some treats for their humans, too – because everyone deserves a little something this year. Check out some of the best pet gifts in 2025!

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Pet Size, Age, and Breed: Different pets have different needs – small dogs might love sweaters, while larger breeds may need more robust toys. Age also plays a part. Older pets might prefer gentle, soft items over highly active toys.
Owner Lifestyle: Consider whether the owner is very active with their pet, travels a lot, or prefers cozy home time. For example, an outdoor hiking kit might suit an active pet owner, while a luxury pet bed would suit a homebody.
Pet Allergies and Sensitivities: Treats are always a great gift idea, but some pets may have allergies, especially when it comes to food and grooming products, so it’s safest to go with items marked for sensitive pets or ask if you’re unsure.
Durability and Safety: Look for high-quality, pet-safe materials that won’t easily break or become a choking hazard, especially with toys or chews.
Practicality: Choose something that the owner and pet will actually use or enjoy, rather than items that might be cute but impractical or hard to store.

Airline Approved Tote Organizer

For the traveler

PROS

CONS

I gifted this to my dog nephew last season, so he could travel in style. I initially chose this for their planned road trip, but I wanted something that would also be airline-approved. Sized at 16”x14”x8” it’s able to fit right under the seat. Built tough with water-repellent fabric and a leak-proof inner lining, it helps keep everything safe and dry. It includes dishwasher-safe, silicone collapsible bowls (random colors for added surprise and pizzazz!), while the large inner compartment holds all the essentials – think treats, toys, and more – with handy pockets and an adjustable flap for easy organization. Ideal for every adventure, from hikes to park days, it’s an all-in-one organizer for food, water, leashes, and even a Frisbee!
