All my life I’ve been an animal lover.
I was in fact raised by a family of animal lovers, and for most of my life we had a small farm filled with different types of animals.
We had everything from cats and dogs to horses and goats and sheep. We raised rabbits, chickens and other birds, even an iguana!
As an adult, I’ve kept my pet species list much shorter. So far we’ve stuck with dogs and cats. And so have most of the other people in my life. So while perusing Pinterest in search of ideas for gifts for friends and family, I made note of several I loved for myself, my pets, or someone equally as animal crazy.
I’ve rounded up all those ideas here in one handy gift guide that’s sure to make your holiday shopping a cinch!
Whether Fido’s your best friend, or your best friend loves Fido…I’ve got gift ideas for pets and pet lovers of all kinds!

GIFTS FOR PET LOVERS
First on our list are gifts specifically for pet lovers! I stick with dogs and cats in this post because that’s what we have, but many of these stores offer options for all kinds of customization!
CAT BUTT COASTER
How adorably cute is this cat butt coaster? And what is it about cats and their obsession for shoving their butts in your face anyway?
Regardless of this quasi obnoxious behavior, cat’s remain the pet of choice for many. I have quite a few cat lovers in my life who would get a kick out of this and put it to good use!
In addition to these adorable coasters (which are available in a variety of styles) the shop, SimplyPutCrochet, also offers tons of other adorable crocheted goodies, including cat toys!
HOPE YOU LIKE DOG HAIR SIGN
This adorable dog hair sign makes the perfect gift for any dog lover! It is perfect for my house, which is home to an 80 pound puppy whose white fur we consider an accessory.
The sign also serves as your fair warning to guests that they may want to pack a lint roller when visiting you!
The shop that makes this cute sign, Gifts by Giggles, also makes a ton of other funny and adorable signs for pet lovers! Be sure to check them all out.
KITTY PLANTER
This gorgeous kitty planter makes the perfect gift for that cat lover in your life!
It’s the perfect planter to sit on your desk with a pretty succulent. It’s also available in several other adorable styles.
The shop, Window Garden, also sells an assortment of other cool planters and gardening supplies!
CUSTOM PET PILLOW
This custom pet pillow is just too stinkin’ cute! Who wouldn’t love having something like this with your dog or cat’s sweet mug emblazoned on it in all their glory?
All you have to do is send the artist a pic of your pet and they will render a drawing to print on the pillow! They also offer custom blankets, bags and more!
DIY CAT SCULPTURES
These gorgeous cat sculptures are a great & affordable DIY present. This listing is actually for a template file to create these yourself! It looks slightly intimidating until you check out the reviews and see the gorgeous masterpieces tons of people have made easily!
DOG LEASH HOLDER
Check out this adorable custom dog leash holder! Such a perfectly adorable way to store leashes after returning from a walk! Maybe if we start using this, our leashes won’t constantly go missing!
I love how it can be customized with your pets’ names to add a personal touch! 
CUSTOM PET APPAREL
This shop makes the cutest custom apparel! You can have your pets face put on anything! These hoodies are hilariously adorable! They also offer the cutest pet socks, but seem to be sold out at the moment.
GIFTS FOR PETS
You can’t forget your sweet fur babies on Christmas! Check out these ideas for toys and treat’s they are sure to love!
ANTLER DOG TOY
What do wouldn’t love these antler chew toys?
These toys are made of all natural ingredients, including real antlers. As a kid, I remember our dogs bringing up deer antlers from the woods and chewing on them for days! They were their absolute favorite thing! I can’t wait for my pup to get her teeth on these!
The shop, SiriusHounds, offers a great assortment of natural toys and treats so your pup can play as nature intended!
CATNIP TREATS
These homemade cat treats are vegan and packed full of catnip! Cats are sure to love these crunchy goodies!
I can see our kitties vegging out on these now and then settling in for the afternoon for a catnip induced coma cuddle!
LEATHER DOG COLLAR
I love the rustic look of these personalized leather dog collars.
They are simple yet also have a classic appeal and style that will suit any dog! The engraved plaque makes a great touch! We have a lot of trouble keeping actual dog tags on our pups collar so this is a great option!
DOG BANDANA
Check out this adorable dog bandana! How cute is this?
We like to include our pup in family pictures when we do on-location shoots. I try to find a bandana for her that coordinates with us but haven’t always been successful.
However, after stumbling upon this shop I don’t think that will be a problem any more! They offer a ton of prints and styles!
CATNIP MICE TOY
Here’s another treat your feline furbaby is sure to love. Is there more perfect toy for a cat than this catnip mice toy?
They are so cute too! You can purchase them in increments from 3 to 20. So if you have a bunch of cats like us, you might invest in these toys in bulk!
CAT CHEW STICKS
These Matatabi Cat Chew Sticks remind me of rawhide chews for dogs.
However, these sticks are actually made from the vine of a plant. Some consider Matatabi Sticks even more appealing to cats than catnip!
These sticks also protect your kitty’s pearly whites by promoting good dental health!
There you have it! Gifts for both pets and pet lovers alike! Hopefully you found something for your fur loving friends or your own fur babies!
