Birthdays and Christmas times are great times for getting together with family and friends, celebrating and gift swapping. But what do you buy the person who has it all? Do you find yourself searching online for unusual gifts?

If this person is a dog owner then look no further as here we have done the hard work for you and provided you with our top tips for unique pet lover gift ideas.

1. Stylish Pooper Scooper. Every dog owner should have one of these; there is a wide variety available on the market now. Make sure you choose one with the following features:

• Lightweight with a clip for your belt, the dogs lead or a shoulder strap.

• Smell masking feature, you will be able to walk the dog without any smells following you!

• Good seals to avoid any leakages and fully washable.

2.Dog Pampering Kit. Every dog enjoys a brush occasionally. Why not put together a pamper kit. Remember to include the following:

• Shampoo and conditioner – make sure you choose a delicious smelling one.

• Dog Towels – invest in one that fits onto the dog, this is a great way to stop them shaking and covering everyone in water after a bath.

• Brushes and combs – if the pampered pooch is not so keen to be groomed make sure you choose a soft brush. Some combs are made of rubber and claim to have a massaging effect which is enjoyed by even the most discerning dogs.

3.Glamorous Dogs. Look online for a fancy dog collar and lead. All colours and styles are catered for and you can personalize the gift with a fun name tag.

4.Puppies. So cute but they can chew everything in sight. Put a pet gift basket together and include some chewing toys and an anti-chew spray. Make sure the spray is non-toxic. The unpleasant taste should stop teething puppies and cats chewing your shoes and furniture.

5.Pet Lock. Believe it or not there has been a substantial increase in dogs being stolen when tied up outside. Choose a locking collar and lead and avoid those opportunist thieves running off with your dog.

6.Personalized clothing. Get a matching outfit for dog and owner. There is a huge variety available, shop online and order early to avoid disappointment.

7.Dog Back Pack. Ideal for helping the highly energetic nervous dog get a full work out on their walk. It is recommended to start them slowly and check for fatigue until they are used to carrying the extra load.

We hope our top tips will help you make an easy choice for your dog loving friend, or simply treat your own dog to one of them. They are our best friend after all!
