When it comes to buying gifts for pup parents, many people can feel stumped—do you focus on the dog? The person? Both?

If this sounds like you, don't worry—we've curated a list of thoughtful gifts that any pup parent is sure to love. Plus, our gift ideas are perfect for anyone and any occasion, whether it's a holiday gift for that cousin you see once a year, a birthday gift for a family member, or a "just because" gift for a close friend.

Professional Dog Grooming Spa Gift Certificate

Who doesn't love a spa day? Every pup deserves to look and feel their best, and a great way to do that is by gifting a gift certificate (or pre-paid appointment) to a professional grooming spa. While many pup parents routinely take their pets for standard grooming, this gift option is a great way to explore extra services and give the pup an appointment that pampers them even more!

Tip: At Room for Paws, grooming can be added to any daycare or boarding stay!

A Custom Care Package

Sometimes, the most thoughtful gifts are handmade—or at least hand-put-together! A care package filled with both human and dog-friendly goodies is a gift that perfectly combines practicality and thoughtfulness. Some additions could include:

  • Homemade Treats: There are many great recipes online, but if you're not a baker, don't worry—many local bakeries sell homemade dog treats, too!
  • Dog-Safe Candle: Many places sell candles that use pet-safe fragrance oil. Plus, websites like Etsy often have ones with customizable labels!
  • Pet Store Gift Certificate: A gift certificate ensures they can pick out exactly what their pup needs—or what their pup doesn't need but totally deserves.
  • Blanket: A soft, cozy blanket is a perfect gift for the owner to love…and the dog to steal!

Tip: For an extra-special gift, consider a pet portrait! The best way to make sure you get a one-of-a-kind, genuine portrait is to work with a local artist.

A Resort Stay

One of the best gifts you can give pup parents is peace of mind that their fur baby is in great hands while they're away. The best way to do that is by gifting them a boarding stay here at Room for Paws Pet Resort!

Here, their pup will play with new friends, be treated like family, and be given lots of love, attention, and snuggles—at no extra cost! With add-on options such as grooming spa appointments, training, extra treats, and even holiday meals, pup parents can rest easy knowing their pup is having just as much fun as they are.

Tip: Pup parents can ensure their fur babies continue to enjoy fun-filled days of play with their new friends all year long by enrolling them in our daycare!
