Pet Gift Basket Ideas For Dogs

If you know someone that just got a dog or want to give a gift to a friend’s long-term companion, you can’t go wrong with a gift basket. You can create a large basket stuffed full of goodies for very little money. The following are just a few great items that make great pet gift basket ideas for dogs.

1.Balls

Most dogs absolutely love balls. Tennis balls purchased from a pet supply store are a great option. You want to make sure to purchase the right size for the size of dog. For example, there are tiny tennis balls that are perfect for Chihuahuas and then there are regulation sized tennis balls that are great for Golden Retrievers. Make sure you purchase a good brand that won’t fall apart quickly.

Brushes

Some dogs love to be brushed. Others, not so much. You want to choose the right brush for the breed. If in doubt, ask the pet store owner which brush would work best. Also, if the dog doesn’t like being brushed, get a brush glove. These gloves make the dog think he’s just being petted rather than brushed.

Grooming Gift Certificate

A gift certificate to a great groomer is another excllent gift basket idea. A good quality groomer does everything from bathing to clipping to painting nails. If you don’t know who is the best groomer in the area, go online and read reviews. A good groomer is imperative. There are some groomers that treat animals poorly. Make sure you’re giving a gift that you can feel good about.
