The Ultimate Doggy Gift Guide By Melvin And Henry- 2023
Every pet owner’s life is enriched by their dog’s behavior, health and happiness. Finding the right accessories, tools and resources can be overwhelming and sometimes it’s easier to go the toy-less route. Sometimes we just need a little help from their family and friends to organize a box of treats. If you’re looking for practical accessories such as a new collar and a leash, or you want to treat your sweet pup to an extravagant outfit or bed, you’ve come to the right place. Continue reading for the ultimate dog gift guide, featuring some of my favorite dog goodies that will brighten up any dog’s or their parent’s holiday season.
Holmquist Black/Wood Dog House- Holmquist is minimal and modern design dog house. Our little friends need their own space too. Made with plywood in light color with steel. With the windows and light panels on the top, natural lights and flow of fresh air. Your dog can have sweet dreams in this simple but beautiful house. Cushion is also made with antibacterial microfiber fabric that’s warm during cold days and cool during heated summer days. It’s SO cool!
Lambwolf Collective Baguette- This BAGUETTE is an oversized enrichment play object perfect for M+ size pets. (Warning, this one will also make an exceptional headrest.) It also comes with a crinkly paper bag for you to store or hide even more treats in! Features 2 SUPER SQUEAKERS that are hidden at two ends for additional fun. Also has ENRICHMENT POCKETS to hide treats in 4 pockets and make your pup fall in love with this play object!
Multi Wall Hook from Safran Everyday- We always feel so grateful for this organizational solution in the garage courtesy of Safran Everyday! Their multi wall hook is our favorite! We have it right by the door for an easy grab and go space for their dog coats and leashes! Would be great for a bathroom too to double your space to hang towels and robes! The wall hook comes in several colors! And we know you will love it as much as us!
Deer Shed Antler Chews from Billy Wolf- An all-natural alternative to dog store rubber or plastic chewers, these Deer Antler chews are wild found, naturally shed antlers. Odorless and long-lasting, your pup will hoard these (and may even skip chewing on your prized possessions once he's had a taste).
Dog + Bone Martingale Collar and Dog + Bone Leash- Need a bit more control on leash? The limited cinch design of this Martingale Collar provides a gentle way to keep your dog focused and helps prevent them from slipping out of their collar. When fitting a Martingale Collar, measure the top of your dog's neck behind the ears and ensure that when the limited cinch is pulled, the two ends are close but not touching. Handcrafted in the USA. The color choices are fantastic too!! I love the way they pair color variations!! Leash up and head out with these Adjustable Leashes featuring hand-held or hands-free, around-the-waist versatility. Adjusts from a 6’ length for laid-back hikes, down to 3’ for when you need to keep your dog closer. Perfect for clipping around the leg of a picnic table at your favorite pub and features a D-ring attachment point for waste bags or a light. Melvin and Henry have used these since they were puppies!!
100% Certified Home Compostable And Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags from Nina Woof- These dog waste bags are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic bags, made with plant-based materials that are biodegradable and compostable. And the neutral color is just gorgeous! I really love this brand too because for every product they sell, they donate the funds needed to cover one meal for a dog in need. We donate these funds to PNAMexico (pnamexico.com), a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to rescuing dogs and finding them homes for adoption.
Nordic Ware Nonstick Puppy Love Dog Bone Treats Pan- Delight your dog with healthy, home-baked treats they'll sit up and lie down for. Nordic Ware's cast-aluminum plaque turns out 16 bone-shaped snacks, and it can be used to make motivational treats for people, too. To get you started, it comes with a terrier-tested, hound-approved Peanut Butter Oatmeal recipe.
Talon Raincoat from Maxbone- Made of water-repellent fabric, this best-selling Talon raincoat has the vibe of a traditional anorak for your pup. No worries: Details like a sturdy snap-off hood, adjustable cuffs, drawstrings, and flap pockets means it's super functional during all those showers - without ruining your pup's hair. Truly the perfect blend of functionality, breathability, and comfort. And this camel color is everything!!!
Ansel Casentino Dog Blanket from 2.8 Design For Dogs- The must-have accessory for every dog’s well-being, Ansel is a warm blanket in Casentino wool, a legendary fabric dating back to Tuscan Renaissance. Manufactured in the hills above Arezzo, this water-resistant textile reflects its homeland’s vibrant and warm colors. To keep warm, make hard surfaces feel comfortable, protect, and make you feel at home: these are the intrinsic features any blanket must have, as a cross object in its use, as well as a fundamental accessory for any dog and dog owner. These Ansels, made of either Casentino wool, are named after the famous American photographer who, on his travels in search of the perfect shot, always carried a military wool blanket. They feature a practical leather handle that makes it easier to hang!! Love that they are machine washable! They are available in two sizes and come in three gorgeous colors!
Margaret Dog Bag from 2.8 Design For Dogs- Featuring real leather details that make it both elegant and sporty, the Margaret bag is big enough to easily fit a small size dog. The side parts of its structure aren’t reinforced, to allow the dog’s face to find comfortable support. A rigid bottom is placed at the bag’s base, providing all the necessary support for your dog. We love it as a weekender bag for Melvin and Henry! The colors are gorgeous!
WagWellies® Dog Booties from Miamore- WagWellies®, the original wagwear “Wellington” boots are sooo needed where we live now in Santa Fe! These 100% rubber, slip-on puddle jumpers are built to last. The open-vented slits make them a breeze to slide on, while also creating a secure fit that will stay put even while on the run. This patented design is sleek, sturdy, and, most importantly, comfortable, making for the perfect paw protection. Note: Getting a dog used to wearing boots is a process. It is very normal to see an amusing high-step in the beginning. This is because they can’t feel the floor and it throws off their coordination, they need time to re-coordinate themselves. It may even take getting them outside and on with the walk before they start to realize that they can in fact walk & run as usual. They come in 2 other colors too!
OUAI Pet Shampoo- A gentle all-pet shampoo that cleanses, hydrates, and leaves your pet shiny, soft, and smelling amazing. It cleanses without stripping and provides hydration to fur and skin leaving the coat soft and shiny! I love how this smells!! It’s scented with Mercer Street, the same fragrance in OUAI's human shampoo, with notes of orange, peony, jasmine, and musk. Mercer Street is an outspoken and muse-worthy fragrance with the provocative notes of Italian lemon, Turkish rose, jasmine, sambac, iris, lily, and white musk. Top notes include orange and peony. Middle notes are magnolia and jasmine. Base notes are musk and orris.
Promise Good Jumper from Maxbone- Camera-ready, soft, and bright, your pup will bring the merry vibes everywhere he goes. Love the embroidery and the crew neck. It’s also super stretchy and has a leash hole!
Woof Pupsicle Alpha Pack- Get up and running for long lasting dog play!

U+Me Sweater from Little Beast-This sweater embodies the bond between you and your friend. The friendship that you might have never imagined. The friend in your life that you can’t imagine living life without. Like butter on toast. Like peanut butter and jelly. Like a match made in heaven. Like yin and yang, it's U+ME.
Mini Margaret Walking Bag from 2.8 Design For Dogs- So this is more for the dog owner but STILL! A lady’s bag that hides an accessory for true-born dog-lovers. Inside this round bag, available either in Casentino wool or organic cotton, a little compartment to insert the poop-bags roll is carefully concealed. Through a metal ring, the poop bags pop out to be easily grabbed when needed. Melvin and Henry always want their momma to look chic!
Sally Dog Towel from 2.8 Design For Dogs- After a walk in the rain, there’s nothing more comforting than a warm, dry embrace. Sally is a towel in premium honeycomb cotton, incredibly soft and highly absorbing; the two practical hand pockets allow you to embrace your dog while drying it.

Richard Slim Wool Dog Cushion from 2.8 Design For Dogs- This article was created when Anna decided to bring Quintile to work with her every day. She was looking for a dog bed that wasn’t too bulky, easy to carry and lift up, and that would act as a safe, comfortable spot where her beloved dog could stay during the day. And that’s how Richard took form: thin, warm and light, it’s always around on the photo shooting set to accommodate Quintile. Richard is a comfortable slim cushion, designed for dogs who prefer a closer – yet always protected – contact with the floor. The real leather handle on the corner makes it easier to hang and carry around. Available in 3 sizes and 3 colors.
