Every year around this time, my house starts to look like Santa Paws’ workshop. Between wrapping gifts, sorting trees, and making sure our own dog, Bella, doesn’t sneak a treat early, Christmas for me isn’t really complete until I’ve sorted the dog’s presents.
I know I’m not the only one who feels like our pups deserve their own special Christmas morning — so if you’re wondering what to get your dog this year, I’ve rounded up my favourite dog Christmas gifts for 2025. Whether you’re after something fun, tasty, or a little bit spoiling, these ideas will have tails wagging right through to New Year.
Dog Advent Calendars
If your dog’s anything like mine, they always know when there’s food involved. A dog advent calendar is the perfect way to include them in the Christmas countdown.
Each little window hides a tasty surprise — and it’s amazing how quickly dogs pick up the routine. By day three, Bella’s already sitting by the tree waiting for hers.
This year we’ve got a brilliant range of advent calendars at Postman Pooch, including all-natural versions packed with healthy treats and festive flavours. They make December mornings that bit more exciting (and a lot more slobbery).
Dog Christmas Gift Boxes
If you want to make your dog’s Christmas extra special, a dog Christmas gift box is honestly the easiest way to do it. We’ve spent years perfecting ours, and they’re always a hit — full of toys, treats, and goodies wrapped up in festive packaging.
We’ve got boxes to suit every kind of pup — from the Playful Pup Box packed with toys, to the All-Natural Christmas Treat Box for those who love a healthy nibble. The best part is, you don’t need to wrap a thing. Just pop it under the tree and enjoy watching your dog tear into it.
It’s one of my favourite parts of Christmas morning — seeing dogs across the UK opening their boxes on Instagram and going absolutely mad with excitement.
Christmas Themed Dog Toys
You can’t go wrong with a new toy, and Christmas is the perfect excuse to get one that’s festive and fun. We’ve got everything from squeaky Santas to crinkly Christmas puddings and plush reindeer.
Toys aren’t just cute gifts — they’re great for keeping your dog active and mentally stimulated through the winter months. When it’s too cold for long walks, a new toy can help burn off that pent-up energy (and save your slippers from getting chewed).
This year’s customer favourite so far? The KONG Holiday Reindeer — long, floppy, and perfect for shaking about the living room.
Christmas Themed Dog Treats
Finally, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without treats. Whether you’re filling a stocking or rewarding good behaviour, a bag of festive snacks always goes down a storm.
Our Christmas dog treats come in all shapes and sizes — from traditional biscuits to our all-natural Christmas bundles made with 100% meat and no nasties. We’ve even got a few novelty options that look like mini mince pies or Christmas dinners (minus the sprouts, thankfully).
If you’re looking for something extra special, I’d recommend the All-Natural Christmas Dog Treat Bundle — it’s one of those gifts that’s healthy and indulgent, so you don’t have to feel guilty about spoiling them.
Final Thoughts
Every dog deserves to be part of the Christmas magic. Whether it’s a treat a day from an advent calendar, a full gift box under the tree, or a new squeaky toy to unwrap, it’s those little things that make the season feel extra special.
I’ve been packing these Christmas gifts for years now, and honestly — nothing beats the messages we get on Christmas Day from happy owners and their dogs. So if you’re planning ahead, grab your dog’s Christmas gifts early this year… because Santa Paws waits for no one.
Here’s to a Christmas full of wagging tails, crinkly wrapping paper, and happy pups.
