In fact you may have so many great choices that you could easily become overwhelmed.

So let’s start by learning how to narrow down flood of choices a bit. Narrowing choices to match gift to person will get you well on your way to selecting that perfect dog gift.

Tip #1 – Determine How Much You’re Going To Spend

Deciding how much you’re going to spend on your dog gift is definitely going to narrow your choices.

But this is a good thing . . . because wonderful dog gifts are available in almost any price range.

And by narrowing your options based on price, you’ve just made your gift selection search a lot easier.

Tip #2 – Decide Who The Gift Is For

Is your gift for a current dog owner? If so . . . would you like gift for dog owner or for their dog?

If you’re dealing with a bona fide dog enthusiast . . . either type of gift is appropriate and would be welcomed.

You’ll want to think about starting with what you know already about person as well as their dog.

Deciding if gift is for person or dog will help narrow many choices even further.

Are you buying a gift for a dog caregiver? Maybe for your dog sitter, dog walker, dog groomer or veterinarian or anyone else who you trust enough to care for your beloved pet?

Is dog gift for someone who is actively involved with dogs? Or are you looking for a gift for someone who just loves dogs, but doesn’t own a dog right now?

Tip # 3 – What’s The Special Gift Giving Occasion?

Is there a special occasion coming up that calls for a dog gift?

Special occasions such as birthdays, holidays, get well wishes, pick me ups and pet loss condolences or memorials are all good reasons to give a dog lover a gift.

Protective dog clothing like dog coats, vests, and dog booties are important for more than one reason. The main function of dog clothing, like our own clothing, is to keep your dog dry and warm when weather turns stormy and cold.

But many people take advantage of newer styles of dog clothing that incorporate safety features like reflective materials stitched into outfits. They help to make your dog much more visible when weather darkens sky. This is an important safety consideration for dog that is active outdoors.

And if you take your dog hunting or hiking through woods, she’ll really appreciate protective features of dog clothing designed specifically for active dogs. Even most user-friendly trails through park are usually somewhat overgrown at edges with sharp sticker bushes and splintering bramble.

When planning our outdoor activities we put a good deal of thought into packing all sorts of protective clothing that we’ll need to keep ourselves dry, warm and comfortable throughout our trip.

But are we leaving our canine friends out in cold? Since many of our dogs look so well protected in their natural fur coats, most people never consider that they too could benefit from protective dog clothing. There are times when cold weather or sharp thorns penetrate even thickest of coats.

Just like us, if our dogs are left unprotected for extended periods of time they can suffer chilling effects of elements . . . losing their body heat at an accelerated rate.

So before your next outing, consider packing some protective clothing for your canine pal too!
