The Best Christmas Gifts for Dogs

We love Christmas. But most of the time, it’s not about the presents we open or the food we eat, its being able spend the holidays with our loved ones. And in the same way we treat the best people in our life, our pups deserve to be spoiled at Christmas too. After all, they’ve been there with us through it all, all year round. They’ve wagged their tails during our best moments and offered some much needed cuddles during the tough ones. So maybe it’s time to stock up on some fun and enriching dog Christmas gifts for your furry best friend.


Yes, we know dogs don’t understand the concept of Santa or stockings, but trust us, they know when something special is going on. Unwrapping a toy or sniffing out some treats from their very own stocking isn’t just adorable to watch but it’s an enrichment activity that stimulates their minds and keeps them happily occupied. Plus, it’s a great way to make them feel included while you’re busy opening presents, prepping Christmas dinner, or arguing about how to assemble the kids’ new toys!

So whether you’re planning to go all out with a stocking stuffed with goodies, or you just want to slip a new chew toy or two under the tree, we’ve made a list of some of the best Christmas gifts for dogs we guarantee your pup will appreciate all the way through to the new year.

What Christmas foods are poisonous to dogs?

Many Christmas foods, while delicious for humans, can be harmful or even toxic to dogs. Common Christmas dangers include chocolate, raisins, grapes, and currants, all of which are toxic to dogs. Chocolate, in particular, contains theobromine, which can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, seizures, and even death in severe cases. Alcohol, such as wine or cocktails, is also toxic to dogs and can cause respiratory failure, coma, or death.


Foods that contain xylitol, a sugar substitute found in some baked goods and candies, are especially dangerous and can cause a rapid drop in blood sugar, leading to seizures. Onions, garlic, and certain nuts like macadamia nuts should also be avoided, as they can cause digestive upset and other health problems.

Can I give my dog a Christmas dinner?

While it might be tempting to share a little bit of your Christmas feast with your dog, many traditional Christmas foods are not safe for them. While small amounts of lean turkey or plain, cooked vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes can be okay for most dogs, it's essential to avoid adding seasonings, spices, or fats. Turkey skin, stuffing, and gravy are not suitable as they can be too rich for your dog's digestive system, potentially causing stomach upset or pancreatitis. Also avoid giving bones, especially cooked ones, as they can splinter and cause choking or internal injuries. We recommend sticking to specially formulated dog treats or a homemade dog-safe Christmas meal if you want to share the holiday joy with your pet.

How can I prevent my dog from chewing Christmas decorations?

Dogs, especially puppies, are naturally curious and may be tempted to chew on Christmas decorations, which can pose safety hazards. Tinsel, ribbon, and ornaments can be choking hazards, while lights and electrical cords can cause burns or electrical shock. To prevent accidents, decorate high enough where your dog can’t reach, and use unbreakable ornaments that are safe in case they do get knocked off. Avoid using small items that could easily be swallowed and ensure that any wires or cords are securely tucked away. If your dog is particularly drawn to decorations, consider keeping them in a room that’s off-limits during the holiday season or using baby gates to block access to the Christmas tree area.
