The Best Christmas Present Ideas for Dogs in 2025
Share
Christmas isn’t just about treating friends and family - our four-legged fur babies deserve to feel the festive love too.
In 2025, the best presents for dogs are all about combining comfort, fun, and wellbeing. From calming aids for anxious pups to clever puzzles that stimulate the mind, there’s something for every personality and need.
So, if you’re wondering what to pop under the tree for your pooch this year, we’ve rounded up six thoughtful, tail-waggingly good gift ideas that are bound to make their Christmas just as magical as yours.
Here are 6 of the best Christmas present ideas for your dog in 2025:
1. The Hush Muff
First up, we have the Hush Muff, a revolutionary solution that eases your dog's anxiety or nervousness during loud and stressful moments. It's a unique, registered design that muffles the impact of sudden noises and wraps your dog in a gentle embrace.
Many dogs are sensitive to loud noises, whether it be fireworks, storms, parties, or even the postman’s knock, and the Hush Muff helps to gently reduce the intensity of those sounds.
That sense of muffled calm can be a real relief for anxious or easily startled pups. Around the festive season, when households are often busier and noisier than usual, this can make a big difference to their wellbeing.
The Hush Muff is also a brilliant tool if you have trouble walking your anxious dog, as they help to create a much more peaceful environment, making it easier for your dog to relax while out and about.
You can shop our wide range of Hush Muff’s here, available in a variety of different patterns, such as the Cow Print, Leopard, Red Tartan or Rainbow hush muff. If you want something less vibrant, we also stock classic shades lilac, blue and brown.

If you’re unsure on the sizing, you can check out our size guide for more information on which one is right for your pup.
2. Chew Toys
Chew toys are another great present you can give a dog at Christmas as they tick so many boxes at once. For starters, dogs have a natural urge to chew. It helps them burn off excess energy, keeps them occupied, and can stop them from turning their attention to things you’d rather they didn’t nibble on (like shoes, table legs, or the Christmas tree!).
They’re also brilliant for dental health, and the act of chewing helps to scrape away plaque and tartar, keeping teeth and gums in better shape without them even realising they’re doing something “healthy”.
As for where to get them in the UK, you’ve got plenty of good options:
- Pets at Home - they’ve got a huge selection of chew toys for all sizes, from puppies to heavy chewers.
- Amazon - loads of choice and quick delivery if you need something last minute.
- Zooplus - great for high-quality brands and often a bit more variety than the high street.
- Indie pet shops - if you want something a little more unique or eco-friendly, local shops often stock natural rubber or sustainable chew toys.
3. Wheaty Bag
Dogs, just like us, enjoy warmth and reassurance, which is why a microwavable wheat bag is a cracking choice this Christmas.
Our Soothe and Settle Wheat Bags are super safe and can be gently heated. Once warm, it becomes a cosy source of comfort.
That gentle heat helps to relax muscles and joints, which is especially helpful for older dogs, breeds prone to stiffness, or pups recovering from a long walk or play session. For anxious dogs, that combination of warmth and weight has a calming effect, making them feel safe and settled.

Shop our microwavable wheat bags for dogs here, made from 100% cotton and filled with clean wheat grains.
4. A New Collar
A new collar can make a lovely Christmas present for a dog because they aren’t just about holding an ID tag - they’re part of your dog’s everyday comfort, style, and safety.
Over time, collars can get worn, stretched, or a bit tatty, so gifting a fresh one feels special while also being useful.
If we do say so ourselves, one particularly good option is the Soothe and Settle Martingale Dog Collar, designed with gentle control in mind. Unlike standard collars, they tighten slightly when your dog pulls, but without choking - giving you better handling while remaining safe and comfortable for the dog.
Learn more about martingale dog collars in our comprehensive guide, and you can shop our wide collection of collars and other collar accessories here.
5. A New Lead
Similar to a collar, a new lead is a surprisingly great gift for a dog. It’s the kind of practical present that you’ll appreciate every single day on walks, while your dog benefits from better control, comfort, and security, especially if upgrading from an old, worn-out lead they’ve had since a pup!
A great example is our Multi-Way Lead. This clever design isn’t just a standard lead - it can be adjusted to multiple lengths, used hands-free, or clipped in different ways depending on the situation.
The padded handles make it comfortable to hold, while the locking carabiners provide extra strength and peace of mind.

Whether you’re navigating busy streets, training, or enjoying a relaxed countryside stroll, the Twiggy Tags Multi-Way Lead adapts beautifully.
6. Interactive Puzzles
Interactive puzzles are a great Christmas present for dogs because they go beyond simple entertainment - they actually exercise the brain as well as the body.
Dogs are naturally curious and problem-solvers at heart, so giving them a puzzle toy taps into those instincts in a fun, rewarding way.
You can also find treat-dispensing puzzles on the market like the KONG wobbler, making your dog work for their food. This is a brilliant idea as it slows down mealtimes and can improve digestion - great for greedy dogs!
And there we have it! We hope this article has given you plenty of inspiration for spoiling your dog this Christmas with gifts that are thoughtful, practical, and guaranteed to get tails wagging.
