Everday, fur babies around the world emulate the very thing that the holiday season is about: gratitude. Dogs are loyal as hell and ask for nothing in return except your time and attention. It'd be a huge disservice to not get Christmas gifts for your dog, because out of anyone, they'd genuinely appreciate a gift from you the most.
How do we even deserve dogs? They're happy with anything we give them, even if it's just cuddle time and belly scratches. You tell me what human would be completely satisfied with just that. I'll wait.
Clearly, your pup is like no other, so you want to try and get them something that's focused on their cute little quirks and hobbies. Believe it or not, but dogs have a lot of personality. Honestly, everyday is Christmas with your pooch, because their very nature is to teach us to cherish and take care of something other than ourselves. They remind us that giving shouldn't be done with the forethought that you'll be getting something in return. Seriously though, the insightful takeaway is paw-erful with these fluff balls. If you want to see some major tail wagging and sloppy, happy kisses on Christmas day, consider surprising your pup with any of these gifts.
K&H Mocha & Green Self-Warm Lounge Sleeper Self Warming Pet Bed, $24, Petco
As much as many of us don't mind our pup plopping at the foot of our bed, giving them their own space couldn't hurt. Besides, this looks so fluffy and comfortable, we may have to ask our pup to make room for us. For real though, do they make these for humans?

Personalized Custom Dog Bone Shaped Dog Toy with Squeaker, $8, Etsy
I mean, dogs don't necessarily sit back and read, but they sure know their name. A cute little chew toy with their name on it just gives them further ownership of what's already theirs. Oh, and it'll be easier to spot during those play dates or days at the park.
