Christmas Gifts for Dogs and Dog Owners: The 2026 Gift Guide

Gifts that get used every day: a matching collar and leash for the walk, a bed that looks good in the living room, a bowl mat that keeps the floor clean. Everything here is designed by Approved by Fritz, with prices shown for your country.

Quick picksFor the safest gift, choose the Walk Set: a matching collar and leash that costs less than buying both separately. For the big present, the Fritz Bed with a machine-washable cover. On a smaller budget: gifts under €25, like the silicone Bowl Mat or a toy. For Christmas, our advice: order by the week of 14 December.

Our top picks

New this season: our holiday toys, tug toys with a rope handle and a squeaker: The Fritz Holiday Sock Dog Toy, The Fritz Holiday Tree Dog Toy and The Fritz Holiday Ornament Dog Toy.

For the dog or for the owner

Dogs don’t unwrap their presents. The person who walks them does. The best gifts work for both.

For the dog

  • Fritz Nest Bed: a bed with padded raised sides, for dogs who like to rest their head.
  • Fritz Bed: a flat cushion bed, for dogs who sleep stretched out.
  • A toy: the Bird Dog Toy, or one of our tug toys where they are sold in your country.

For the owner

  • Walk Set: the owner holds the leash, and the owner gets the compliments on the street.
  • Fritz Leash: three attachment points and spinning clips, so one leash works at three lengths.
  • Bowl Mat: less water on the floor and a feeding spot that suits the kitchen.
  • Poop Bag Carrier: clips to the leash and carries bags and a few treats, where it is sold in your country.

Our whole collection, sorted by budget. Prices are shown for your country.

Gift sets

The Walk Set: the collar and leash gift set

The Walk Set pairs a Fritz Collar and a Fritz Leash in the same colourway, or in two you mix yourself. You choose the collar size (S, M or L) and the leash width (Small or Standard). The set costs less than buying the collar and leash separately.

Featured by NBC Select

In its gift guide “31 thoughtful gifts for pets and their parents”, NBC Select recommends the Walk Set. Associate reporter Bianca Alvarez uses it with her pitbull Baylor. She likes the water-resistant webbing that is easy to clean, and that she can hold the leash or wear it across her body.

“Had a set for the last 5 years and finally decided to get a new colour!” Nicole M.

Pairs that work well together

These pairings have no bundle price; each item keeps its own price.

  • The dog’s corner: a Fritz Bed and a Bowl Mat in colours that go together.
  • The new puppy: a Walk Set and a toy.
  • The one who already has the bed: a spare cover in a new print.

Gifts that fit in a stocking and get used long after the holidays:

Not sure of the size?

For a collar, measure around the neck where the collar sits, leaving room for two fingers, then compare with our size guide.

Can’t measure the dog without spoiling the surprise? Borrow their current collar for a minute and measure it flat, from the buckle end to the hole in use. It is less precise than measuring the neck, but it is a good starting point.

For a bed, compare the space the dog takes up lying down with the Standard and Grande dimensions in the size guide. On sizing, the leash is the easy part: both widths have the same length, so only the collar needs a measurement.

If the size isn’t right, you have 30 days to return it under our return policy.

Gift guide FAQ

What is a good gift for a dog that has everything?

A dog that has everything rarely has a spot of its own that suits the home. The Fritz Nest Bed or Fritz Bed fills that gap. If they already have the bed, give a spare cover in a new print.

What if I don’t know the dog’s size?

Borrow the dog’s current collar and measure it flat, from the buckle end to the hole in use, then compare with our size guide. If the size turns out wrong, you have 30 days to return it.

When should I order for delivery before Christmas?

Our advice: order by the week of 14 December. We ship within 1–2 business days; delivery time then depends on where you live. In the US, standard delivery takes 2–5 business days and express is available at checkout; EU orders ship from the Netherlands. For addresses further away, order earlier.

Can a gift be returned?

Yes. You have 30 days to return an item under our return policy.

Are the dog bed covers washable?

Yes. The Fritz Bed cover and every Nest Bed cover zip off and go in the washing machine. Take the filling out first and follow the care label for the cycle and drying.

Is the Walk Set one product or two?

One purchase with one set price, which costs less than buying the collar and leash separately. You choose the collar size and the leash width, in one colourway or two.

What is a good gift for a new dog owner?

The Walk Set for the first walks, a Bowl Mat for the feeding spot and a toy. For a puppy, pick a collar size whose adjustable range leaves room to grow.
