Dog Lovers Gift Guide
This list is divided into two sections. I will be sharing the items with the dog lover themselves. This includes fun ideas that we like to show love for our pets and celebration of them in our lives.

Budget Ideas for Dog Lovers
If you are down to the last few dollars but still want to give something special, there are a few fun ideas that are listed below that cost little or nothing at all to make or give to your friends and family.
- Homemade dog treats. You probably have everything on hand already to make these grain-free dog treats. Make a batch and put it into a special holiday tin or cellophane bag and tie it with a ribbon. They cost practically nothing and are always appreciated.
- Dog sitting coupon. If your friends like to travel but have to pay for someone to watch their dog or feed them while away, this is the perfect gift. A simple paper coupon can be printed out, or even handwritten on a card, and used for dog sitting sometime in the next year.
- Dog walking coupon. In the same vein, walking dogs can be tiring, especially for those who have to come home during the day to do it, or who aren't feeling well. Offer up your services once a month to give your friends a break from the routine.
- Crochet or knit a sweater or hat for the dog. There are tons of cute patterns for crochet dog sweaters out there and you can make one using the scrap yarn you already have on hand. It doesn't have to be a perfect look, just warm!
