We asked Amelia, 'how do you buy a gift for a dog / dog parent and make it thoughtful and unique to them/their breed?'
Labradors & Retrievers:
"Labradors and Retrievers are built to please, we think these toys are a must have in the house over Christmas. Nina Ottossen toys are perfect for keeping a working and food oriented mind busy, the Sustainapaws dinosaur toys are big and great for greeting family members at the door with. A tennis ball, an all time favourite for the best retrievers in the world!"
Terriers:
"Terriers love to destroy so I wanted to bring some calm into their lives for Christmas with the favourite Gizzls calming treats. Whilst also giving them some super tough gifts to get their terrier out on! Green & Wilds toys are made from compressed felt, suede and filled with coconut fluff for safe destroying. An antler is the all time best chew for a outdoor, animal lover like a terrier!"
Dachschunds:
"The true foodies of the dog world, we recommend treating these shorties to the Gizzls Soft Bites, their jelly like texture will encourage actual chewing rather than a swift swallow!
A new snazzy colour is a must for the new year, I think our Moroccan collars look amazing on dachshunds, the patterns really stand out and a small is the perfect size for minis, s/m for wires and medium for standards.
Any furry folks toy will be well loved by this breed, all are designed to hide treats in, they squeak and they look really bloody cute!"
Spaniels:
"The soggy weather is a spaniels best friend over Christmas, they know how to get in all the mud and puddles so a Ruff & Tumble is not only your life saver at home but keeps them cosy on the sofa after all that outside fun!
Our highland cow plushies are a firm favourite, durable, cuddly, squeaky and crinkly. Spaniels look gorgeous in a Bandana, pick a pattern from our The Paws range and maybe add a little flair with a Scouts Honour patch."
Poodle Mixes
eg Cockapoo & Cavapoo:
"The mud and rain is not a poodle crosses best friend, get them a Stix Fleece to protect their fluffy coats over winter. A gift you won’t regret spending a bit more on!
Our The Paws Big Bows would look adorable on these chic characters at Christmas, who doesn’t love a compliment?!
Furryfolks Hoomans are the perfect toy for these highly strung breed, with hair you can hide treats in and plenty of cool styles to match any wardrobe."
