There’s almost too much to look forward to on Christmas Day: the food, the gifts, the people and, of course, getting to open your stocking. No matter how old we get, stockings will always add to the festive excitement, being the place for all the thoughtful little bits that somehow end up being just as memorable as the main presents.
For some of us, stockings are opened first Christmas morning while for others, they’re opened on Christmas Eve. But chances are, if stockings are part of your festive ritual, your dog has one too. They may not understand the concept of Christmas quite as well as we do, but they absolutely understand being included. You’ll no doubt find them sniffing at all the wrapping, wondering if there’s anything in all the mess for them. It’s why it’s only fair that our pups get to enjoy their own collection of stocking fillers for dogs too.
Even if they already have bigger gifts waiting under the tree, they deserve some extra little treats, like some new Christmas-themed dog treats, fun enrichment toys and maybe even a brand new lead or harness ready for all your 2026 adventures.
If you ask us, shopping for stocking fillers for dogs is far more fun than buying for the humans in your life. There’s no pressure and no second-guessing because whatever they pull out of their stocking, your dog is simply thrilled to be part of the day with you. So, to help you get ready for the big day, here’s our guide to the best stocking fillers for dogs this Christmas.

Whether you love filling their stocking with tasty treats, cute soft toys, enrichment favourites or even a fresh collar or harness for the year ahead, there are so many little delights that make Christmas morning extra special for our pups. So, to help you choose the perfect mix of fun and practical goodies, here are the stocking fillers for dogs we’re most excited to wrap up this Christmas.
This clever two-in-one toy brings festive fun straight to your dog’s stocking. On the outside, it’s a soft, plush Christmas ornament perfect for tossing, fetching and gentle play but inside, it hides a spiky ball that keeps the game going long after the plush layer has been explored.
This Christmas dog toy is perfect if your pup enjoys destroying their toys… because at least this time, there’s something for them on the other side! It’ll keep them busy and happy throughout the holidays, being one of our personal favourite stocking fillers for dogs.
Pollux the Gnome is the ultimate festive enrichment toy for dogs and a brilliant choice for stocking fillers for dogs who love a challenge. Made from ultra-durable PUP-X rubber, it’s tough enough for power chewers while still offering plenty of enrichment options.
The wide opening can be stuffed with raw food, yoghurt mixes, peanut butter or festive dog-safe recipes to keep them mentally stimulated for ages. It’s a great way to give them a tasty treat and a mini brain workout while you finish opening presents or get started on the Christmas dinner!
The Santa-themed slow feeder bowl for dogs is a festive upgrade to your dog’s ordinary food bowl, designed with a cheerful Santa face and cleverly shaped channels to slow down their eating and add some excitement to every meal.
It works with dry, raw or wet food, turning breakfast and/or dinner into a puzzle your dog will love solving. It’s also super durable, easy to clean and wonderfully Christmassy, making it a fun, functional stocking surprise that keeps giving long after the decorations come down.
Every good stocking deserves something delicious inside, and just like we secretly hope for a chocolate orange or a handful of chocolate coins, our dogs are hoping for something delicious too like these Denzel’s Crimbo Crackers.
Made with turkey and stuffing, these cracker-shaped treats snap in half, making them perfect for training sessions, sharing moments or simply spoiling your pup on Christmas morning. Packed with festive flavour and shaped for fun, they’re an easy win when it comes to stocking fillers for dogs.
This beautiful dog collar from Buddy’s strikes the perfect balance between festive and timeless. The rich red and cream palette feels perfectly suited to the season, yet subtle enough for your dog to wear all year round.
Crafted from artisan-plaited Italian cotton inspired by traditional Andean textiles, it brings a touch of South American artistry to your dog’s everyday wardrobe. It’s finished with naturally tanned French leather and handmade in Spain, sustainably produced and wonderfully comfortable for your pup.
For dogs who love enrichment (and for humans who love a quiet 40 plus minutes), this bundle is a must-have. The Woof Green Pupsicle Toy, Treat Tray and Pops Refill Combo makes mental stimulation incredibly simple. Just fill the tray with your dog’s favourite mix, freeze, then pop it into the toy for calming, mess-free licking. Or add one of the Woof Pop Refills for long lasting entertainment.
It's made from durable, non-toxic natural rubber and easy to clean since it can be popped effortlessly onto the top shelf of your dishwasher – that makes it a smart pick for stocking fillers for dogs and your chore list! If you already have the Pupsicle at home, the Refill Pops alone make brilliant dog stocking treats that’ll keep you stocked up ready for the new year.
If you’re celebrating your dog’s very first Christmas, especially with a teething puppy, then you deserve some stocking fillers for dogs that’ll keep those needle teeth busy! And this puppy chew toy is a lifesaver.
The ZippyPaws Teetherz Christmas Tree is made from flexible yet durable TPR, giving puppies something satisfying (and safe) to chew on while saving your furniture in the process. It’s great for older dogs too, offering fun play options like light tugging and fetching.
We don’t know about you, but in our household, cheese is practically a Christmas essential… and now your dog can join in the fun too. Pet Bakery Cheeky Cheese Paws are handmade, luxury shortbread-style biscuits crafted with real chunks of cheese and no added salt or artificial preservatives.
Crunchy, indulgent and made with simple, high-quality ingredients, they’re perfect for dogs who deserve something special in their stocking. For anyone looking for stocking fillers for dogs that feel a little more gourmet, these are a brilliant choice.
Another one of our personal favourite stocking fillers for dogs, this dog lead is both stylish and sensible. The Travis design features a bold multicoloured tartan pattern in red, yellow, green, blue and black, giving it a subtly festive look without being limited to December walks.
Meanwhile, the shock-absorbing spring reduces the impact of pulling and the soft neoprene handle keeps things comfortable for you. It also has a secure screw-lock hook and two size options. It’s the dream dog lead for anyone with a pup that tends to pull.
A stocking inside a stocking? Why not. Denzel’s Christmas Stocking Selection Box is an instant crowd-pleaser and guaranteed to get tails wagging on Christmas morning.
Inside, your dog will find a mix of festive treats including Gingerbread Soft-Baked Bars, Chicken & Pumpkin “Coins,” Crimbo Crackers and mini tasters in flavours like Mince Pie, Pigs in Blankets and Christmas Lunch.
If you can’t choose between these stocking fillers for dogs but you want something curated and cohesive, this dog gift bundle is perfect. It brings together a full festive meal with every element working beautifully together for a complete enrichment experience.
Choose between a pine-tree or Santa-themed SodaPup slow feeder, then layer in Coya pork freeze-dried treats, WOOOF’s own natural sausage rolls and a Pork Furr Boost “gravy” made from human-grade ingredients. It’s everything your dog needs to enjoy their own Christmas dinner.
There’s no denying that stocking fillers for dogs bring a little extra joy to Christmas morning for everyone, giving both you and your pup another excuse to be excited during the festive season. Filling the stockings up with tasty treats, playful toys and practical accessories means your pup will feel included in the rush and excitement of the day.
Seeing them sniff out a new toy, puzzle over a treat, or enjoy a little festive snack is a reminder that the holidays are for the whole family, including the four-legged members. At WOOOF, we’ve gathered a selection of stocking fillers for dogs that are thoughtful, fun, and perfectly suited to your dog’s personality, helping make this Christmas yet another one to remember.
Stocking fillers for dogs make Christmas morning even more special, giving your pup small, joyful surprises that encourage play, curiosity and calmness.
Including dogs in the stocking tradition reminds them they’re part of the family and gives them a chance to enjoy the festive excitement in their own way.
Little treats, chews and enrichment toys also give humans a moment of calm on a busy morning, keeping pups happy and occupied while everyone opens their own gifts.

The Best Dog Friendly Christmas Events Happening in 2025
The best stocking fillers for dogs are whatever your pup enjoys. Think about what they love best, whether it’s soft toys, chew toys, enrichment toys or all the above! Choosing items that match your dog’s personality and needs ensures they’ll enjoy opening their stocking as much as you enjoy giving it.
Absolutely! Dogs love being part of the festive fun, and a stocking filled with small treats and toys lets them join in. It’s a simple way to show them they’re part of the family celebration without needing to give them a large gift. Plus, it adds excitement and gives them something to explore while the humans open theirs.
Christmas morning can be exciting for dogs, but it’s important to keep them safe. Make sure human food, especially chocolate, nuts and raisins, is out of reach and make sure to supervise them with new toys. We know Christmas morning can be a little hectic, so it might be worth giving them a long-lasting treat or enrichment toy to keep them occupied while the family opens presents.
