From fun festive gifts to outdoor gear, you’ll find something your pup will love on this Vancouver-based holiday gift guide.
The holidays are fast approaching and as our pups can’t make their own Christmas list, we’re helping them out by creating a gift guide packed with items guaranteed to get any dog’s tail wagging!
Even better, you can buy everything on this list locally which means you can treat your pup to some awesome gifts while supporting local at the same time.
We’ve teamed up with Discover Dogs, a locally-owned and family run pet store in Vancouver, to create the ultimate Holiday gift guide for your dog - with fun, festive and practical gifts at different price points to give you inspiration for your furry family member.
So if you want to get your pup’s gift ready nice and early, here are 14 awesome gifts that are all available to purchase in store or online at Discover Dogs.
