With so many dog treats, toys and accessories available, it can be difficult to find the ideal gift for a fellow pet owner. While you could buy a single item or pre-made gift basket, consider putting together your own. This is often less expensive than ordering one and is highly customizable. You can come up with your own theme of complimentary items that the gift receiver and their pet will love! If you have no idea how to get started, then consider choosing one of these doggy gift basket suggestions for inspiration. You can always make your own additions and changes to tailor each gift to the person (and dog) you are giving it to.

Give a Relaxing Afternoon

Call it what you like, but this gift basket should include dog treats and toys that will help pet owners and their dogs enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Start with the king of all busy toys: the Kong. There are all shapes, sizes and colors, so find one that is designed for the size and breed of the dog who will be using it. Don't forget to include appropriately sized dog treats to use in the Kong toy. Consider including a few different flavors in the basket just in case the canine is a picky eater. You can go with Kong brand treats or any other treat that is the right size and consistency.

Next, consider adding in a bag of Greenies dog treats. These will freshen bad canine breath, which makes couch cuddling and other affectionate gestures more bearable. Dog and owner can enjoy spending time together without nasty odors. You may even throw in some doggy bubble bath or a certificate for a free wash at a local groomer. Fluffy plush toys and pillows are another great option to include.

The Active Weekend

Put together a basket for an active dog owner and a high energy pet. Start with a tube or net bag of high quality tennis balls. Cheap ones often have a seam that will easily split when strong dog jaws bite down repeatedly (which will inevitably happen during games of fetch). If you want something long lasting, buy a larger quantity of durable tennis balls.

Next, throw in a heavy duty rawhide dog treat, such as IMS pressed bones. Although thinner rawhides may work, a large breed dog will have a thin rawhide gone in moments. Pressed bones and other thicker alternatives will entertain canines long enough for their owner to get some sun and catch their breath! Consider adding in a soft towel or something that the dog can lay on outside during weekend downtime. Rather than a basket, consider packaging the gift in a tote bag or something more travel-friendly.

Personalized Gifts

When putting together dog treats and toys always keep the gift receiver in mind. These suggestions cover two very different types of dogs and owners; however some may fall in between. Consider adding a mix of the two and throwing in your own personal selections. Do you know of a specific brand dog treat your friend or relative always buys? If you loved this post and you would love to receive details regarding bubble shooter pet assure visit the web site. Then purchase an extra large bag to include. They will surely appreciate your thoughtful gesture.
