Who's Been a Good Boy? 15 Gift Ideas for Your Dog's Christmas Stocking

Posted by Jessica Roberts

Grab your Santa bag and get ready, because Fido’s tail will be a-waggin’ when he sees what's in his stocking this year! We’ve gathered 15 of the coolest, most exciting gifts to put in your dog’s Christmas stocking. For good measure, we’ve also included one option for any pups who ended the year on Santa’s Naughty List.

1. Let Fido Crack Open a Cold One

It's been a bit of a "ruff" year for many folks, and that includes our pups, who may have found themselves taking on the role of coworker and therapist for a large portion of the year. These parody plush dog toy versions of their humans' favorite "dogmestic" or "impawted" beverages are a hoot (and a squeak). They're a fun way to thank your pup for all their hard work this year. Choose a White Paw, Muttgarita, Grrrona or Dog Perignon to unwind after a tough day, or a Lickety Lime, Barking Berry or Pamplemutt flavor LickCroix toy if Fido is counting calories.

Toys in the Haute Diggity Dog Muttini Collection are $19.99 apiece on Amazon.

2. These Little Piggies That Snort and Grunt

$7.99

These durable latex-coated dog toys are definitely not a boar. And rather than the headache-inducing, high-pitched squeals you might expect from a squeaky toy pig, these swine actually honk and grunt and appeal to barkers big and small. Put this little piggy in your pooch's stocking, and it will certainly be one toy he hogs all year long.

The Multipet Goblets Pig Latex Dog Toy is $7.99 on Amazon.

3. Soothing Balms for Paws, Snouts & Wrinkles

$20.30

Smart toys are all the rage, and it’s only fair that there is one for techie Terriers and gadget-savvy Goldendoodles, too. If your jingle-pup has been especially good this year, splurge on the coolest toy to hit the market in 2019. The Wickedbone Smart Bone syncs with an app on your phone, so you can control its trajectory around the room from your spot on the couch. Switch to autonomous mode and the bone moves all by itself, reacting to your dog’s touch and enticing him to play. The toy features a long battery life and can be disassembled for cleaning, but is not recommended for heavy chewers.

Did you know happiness can be found in a bottle? Only if the bottle is filled with bubbles that smell like bacon, of course. These bacon-scented bubbles bring joy to your pooch and to anyone who gets the privilege of watching her chase, sniff and lick the weightless treat.

Slow feeders hit the market primarily as a tool to help pets who gobble their food too quickly and give themselves gastrointestinal problems. This tactical treat mat doesn’t just slow down the wolf in your hound’s belly, though; they’re also great boredom busters and a fun way to treat your pooch. Roll up the 8-inch square LickiMat in Fido’s stocking, and on Christmas morning you can spread his favorite soft treat - like banana, peanut butter or gravy - along the mat’s square-shaped grooves. He’ll lick blissfully for hours (or at least minutes) while you focus on your presents.

You can find a Hyper Pet LickiMat Boredom Buster Slow Feeder at Petco for $12.99.

Bonus: Santa’s Choice for Naughty Pups

Sometimes, our furry elves need a reminder that Santa Claus is watching their behavior. While we know that a lump of coal is what Santa brings to naughty human children, your bad boy will delight in this new bouncy toy.

You might not be able to fit all of these items in one stocking (or maybe you can), but no matter which gifts you choose for Fido’s stocking this year, his Christmas morning will surely be filled with plenty of joy. Just don’t forget to tag #BringFido in your holiday pics!
