We're looking at some small gifts for dog owners that will have them thanking you daily for the whole year ahead! These practical yet quirky items will make a dog-walker's life safer, easier and all-round better and are great value for money. And if you think practical and useful is a bit on the boring side - well why not go mad on the wrapping to make up?
Magic Illuminating Gloves All responsible dog owners pick up their dog's poo. But even the most determined walkers can struggle to find their dog's business on dark mornings and evenings, or in a drift of autumn leaves. So these magic LED illuminating gloves are a gamechanger and, because you're wearing them, they add nothing to pockets already stuffed full of bags, treats, balls and leads. The waterproof gloves also come in handy for DIY, camping and all sorts of outdoor activities.
Snow grips Cold, icy mornings can turn even a short dog walk into an Xtreme walking event with a real chance of falls and injury. A gift of detachable ice and snow-grippers to slip on over a dog-walker's usual shoes or boots will go a long way to keep them upright and striding out with confidence. We use the ones with cleats for better traction and find they work really well even with wellies.
A subscription to Driving with Dogs helps make road trips safer and kinder to drivers and their dogs. No matter what the weather or traffic throws at you, there is always a tried and tested dog walk within reach and very often a dog-friendly cafe or inn as well. Drivers can use filters to see fully accessible walks, whether you can park a campervan, children's play areas and where the WCs are.
Smelly wet dog? Winter walks often end up with a wet, muddy dog in your car. The aroma of soggy dog isn't for everyone so a can of PowAir in the car will neutralise the odour and create a gentle aroma of Passion Fruit instead. Other scents are available! One small can has lasted us for nearly a year so far which is very good value. All PowAir products are plant-based and safe for use in vehicles and homes. They have an impressive 5-star Trustpilot rating from happy dog owners too.
