2020 Gift Ideas For The Dog Who Literally Hasn’t Left Your Side
Your best quarantine buddy deserves some treats
Whether you adopted a puppy during this pandemic or just made your dog your WFH buddy, your pup has likely meant everything to you this past year. And while you could just show your love by shouting them out on Instagram, chances are they won’t realize all the work you’ve put into showing them off. Plus, you were gonna do that anyway. Instead, we partnered with Purina to come up with a list of gifts that will show your dog how much you appreciate their help getting through this year together. It has everything you need to say thanks (and good riddance to 2020!).
K9 Sport Sack
Most backpacks aren’t a very secure way to take your pup out on the subway or the trails, so this K9 Sport Sack is a great upgrade. With armholes and an adjustable collar, they won’t feel nearly as cooped up, allowing for longer trek times with your 2020 hero.

Purina Busy Bone
True to their name, Purina Busy Bones will keep your pup occupied, as they gnaw away to get to that tasty center. But it’s not just a way to keep dogs busy — the tough exterior helps clean teeth but is still easily digestible. You could even give your dog a Busy Bone while you read a holiday story to him — Aww!

Wondershop Dog Flannel PJs
Getting your dog something this cute is practically a gift to yourself (and your Instagram account), but also think about how cozy they’ll be. Doggie pajamas are perfect for the winter, helping them warm up after walks in the snow. The classic buffalo check style comes in human sizes to match, too!

Purina Beggin’ Strips
When it comes to gifts, nothing will amp up your dog like treats. These Purina Beggin’ Strips, which have a soft texture for easy chewing, will let them know that you appreciate all their hard work this year. You can also break the treat up into small pieces as a tasty reward for teaching new tricks.

Broccoli Dog Toy
The perfect toy for a child who refuses to eat their veggies. The folks at Bark get high marks for durability on their toys, although it may still be vulnerable to destruction by larger breeds (like most fluffy toys!), so keep an eye on them while they’re playing. This one also has a plush outer layer, so they’ll enjoy cuddling up next to it.

Boots & Barkley Denim Dog Bed
When it comes to dog beds, you can’t really go wrong by going big. This Boots & Barkley bed is made from durable denim, with a washable cover and a fuzzy fleece interior. The sides are stiffer to provide support, and while you could get it in smaller sizes, where’s the fun in that?

Dog Pool
2020: The year we all wished we owned a pool. Luckily for dogs, this collapsible 120-gallon version is just as good. If you live in a cooler climate, be sneaky and save it until the summer months and surprise them.
