8 Unique & Personal Gifts for Your Dog Obsessed Friend

If you’re looking for the best gifts for dog lovers — especially that one friend whose whole world revolves around their pup (honestly, I am that friend) — this list has you covered. From fun adventure gear to adorable personalization, here are my top picks that your dog-loving bestie will freak out over.

1. Dog Backpack Carrier

If your friend brings their dog everywhere — hikes, brunch, Target runs — a solid carrier is essential. K9 Sport Sack dog backpacks let their furry best friend come along for the ride safely, comfortably, and hands-free. 

Perfect for a wide variety of dog sizes experiencing the FOMO of being left at home. Shop The Original Dog Backpack!

2. Smart GPS Dog Collar

For the friend who panics if their dog is out of sight for 0.3 seconds, this is a lifesaver. Fi is basically the Apple Watch + Find My iPhone of the dog world. GPS tracking, activity monitoring, escape alerts… it’s the “peace of mind” gift they didn’t know they needed. The Fi Collar (Series 3) is my go-to!

3. Personalized Dog Stickers

For the friend who has fully made their dog a personality trait (and honestly, a small celebrity). Custom pet stickers are elite. They’ll put them on their laptop, water bottle, phone case — you’re guaranteed to see them everywhere! It’s cute, personal, and will make them scream, “OMG LOOK IT’S THEM!!!”

4. Dog Goggles

If their dog loves to get active, this is essential. Whether they go on hikes, beach bike rides, or play in the winter snow, this is the gift they had no idea they needed. They protect the dog’s eyes and will make them feel like they’re in an action movie.

K9 Sport Shades - Dog Goggles and Rex Specs V2 are my absolute favorite options!

5. Custom Dog Portraits

If you want happy tears, this is the one. A custom art piece — watercolor, digital, cartoon-style — is the sentimental, heartfelt gift that every dog parent wants. These custom pieces are guaranteed to be hung up like museum pieces. 

6. Doggy Camera

For the friend who misses their dog five minutes after leaving. Check in, talk to them, toss treats, cry a little — it’s a whole experience. Check out the Furbo 360°!

7. Socks with the Pup’s Face

If they could wear their dog on their heart, they would. Since that isn’t possible (yet), socks are the next best thing. They are cute, hilarious, and every time they look down, they’ll see their dog smiling back at them.

8. Dog Burrow Toys

These enrichment toys let dogs “dig out” tiny plush squeakers from cute sets like popcorn buckets, chip bags, or donut boxes. It’s enrichment and comedy. Zippy Paws are my corgis’ absolute favorite option!
