2. Woof&Brew – The Pet Drink Specialists

Their nutritionally-balanced and specialised blends offer the perfect tonics and treats for your pups.
Their Teas and Tonics are available in both tea bag and ready-made tonic formats and they have a wide selection to choose from. Some of their tonics include:
Anxiety Tea – great for using as a daily supplement for anxious or nervous dogs, or before stressful situations such as fireworks (New Years Eve) or car journeys.
Their Skin and Coat Tea is ideal to keep your dog’s coat fresh and healthy. It is rich in iron, iodine and essential fatty acids which help detoxify and cleanse.
For dogs with bad breathe, the Fresh Breath Tea will help support oral and digestive systems and provides natural and nutritional freshness.
Not only do they sell Teas and Tonics, you can also pick up Dog Beer and Pawsecco! Yep, you read correctly. Pawsecco! So you and your furry friend can now raise a glass together over the holidays.
Available in both ‘Pet-House White’ and ‘Pet-House Rose’, oh-la-la.
Woof&Brew also have a range of gifts from Gift Boxes to Gift Cards that guarantee you’ll find something you love. Check out their full list of drinks here.

3. Stuff For Your Woof – The Pet Bakery from Heaven!

4. ScoobyBox – The Monthly Box
This monthly box of goodies for your dog is full of exciting toys and treats, new each month. They base your box on the size of your dog so that the toys and treats suit them. With free shipping, healthy organic treats and high-quality toys, it’s no wonder they are so popular!
Take a look at their Sample Box to see what it’s like. This is a definite favourite with dogs. The new toys each month help keep those bouncy boys stimulated and happy.
5. Shop gifts from Dogs Trust
Why not purchase a gift for your friends and family from Dogs Trust this Christmas. The one-stop shop has everything from adults to kids, dog themed apparel and homeware to doggie products, treats and toys for your four legged friends.
It even has a personalised products section!
Best of all, all proceeds will go towards helping stray and abandoned dogs across Ireland.
6. Capture your dog with Pawtrait Ireland
If you still haven’t found the right gift for the dog lover in your life, why not give them the gift of a Pawtrait? Whether you want outdoor adventure or a studio shoot, a Pawtrait Experience is specifically tailored to the needs of your Pack.
Why not buy a gift voucher for a loved one and give them an unforgettable experience with their pooch?
For each Experience purchased, a €5 donation goes to our Pawtrait “Charity of Choice“.
This year the charity of choice is The Irish Blue Cross. The donation is made in whole at the end of the year, just in time for Christmas!
If you still haven’t found the right present, or you prefer the gift of giving, why not donate some toys and treats to less fortunate dogs who will spend their Christmas in a shelter or pound.
Dogs Trust, WSPCA and other charities are always happy to receive donations especially coming up to Christmas.
They accept clean beds, blankets, toys, treats (try to stay away from rawhide) and monetary donations.
It is a lovely Christmas present idea. Your own dog would be happy to know you’re helping the less fortunate pups who won’t have a fireplace or a lap to curl up on this Christmas.
I hope you and your pups have a wonderful Christmas.
Yours Drooly,
Audrey
