Gifts For Animal Lovers In 2022

All right guys, it’s time to get emotional, our top pick of the best gifts for animal lovers is the Willow Tree True Sculpted Hand-Painted Keepsake Box which is equal parts painfully sentimental and special, giving you something to show your love for your furry friend.

Inside, there is Truly a Friend written on an enclosure card highlighting the bond that you only get from having the best boy (or girl) in the world. It’s hand-painted and hand-carved, showing the care and attention that goes into having a pet and ensuring their life is the happiest it could be. Whether it’s a housewarming gift for yourself or one for a loved one, they will display it proudly on their mantlepiece, shelf, or windowsill, and while it might inspire a few tears, they’ll be happy ones.

If you’re not satisfied with just one Willow Tree product and want to expand your collection, the Willow Tree Angel of Friendship Sculpted Hand Painted Figure is the perfect addition to your home decor. It boasts all the same quality craftsmanship of the Keepsake box and celebrates the friendships you and your family held with your dog.

The hand-painted resin figure is carefully done, while the wire angel wings are secure and not at all flimsy. At 5” high, it’s not too large that it looks out of place, and stands modestly on a desk or shelf. Enclosed in the box of this gift for dog lovers is a sentiment card reading “For those who share the spirit of friendship”, which seems like the perfect way to honor the bond between you and your dog, whether they are a sprightly young puppy or older pupper that’s still got plenty of life left in them.

Moving away from the soppy nonsense for just a few minutes (don’t worry, it’ll be back, though), the Crazy Dog TShirts Only Talking to My Dog Today is a funny and useful option for lazy days or those times where the thought of human interaction seems far too much to handle.

The polyester and cotton blend ensures quality, while the vintage style is suitable for wearing with American made jeans, shorts, or chinos. There are 6 colors and 8 sizes available, and if you want to treat the wife to one so you can wear them together, it’s also available in Women’s, too.

Everyone who’s ever owned a dog knows their opinion shifts between good and bad several times a day, and Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Very Good, Very Bad Dog is the perfect book to let you know you are not alone.

At 400 pages, there are plenty of stories and anecdotes in there to help you overcome your doggy blues and also help you laugh at some of the ridiculous things dogs of all shapes and sizes get up to. Written by Amy Newmark with a foreword by President and CEO of the AHA, you’ll laugh till you cry, and cry till you laugh.

The Gelid I Just Drink Coffee, Save Animals, And Take Naps Coffee Mug encompasses just about everything any pet and animal lover needs from a mug. With a bold and readable mission statement and a large 13-ounce capacity, you can get fueled through those early mornings and be ready for when you’re reunited with your favorite.

It’s both microwave and dishwasher safe and constructed using high-quality materials to ensure durability and longevity. It’s also suitable for more than just coffee, so don’t be scared to brew some tea or fill it up with wine. The mug also comes in a sturdy protective box ready for gift wrapping, so you can hand it over with the confidence there’s no damage.

Sticking with the drinking theme, The Home Bar “It’s Not Drinking Alone If the Pets Are Home” Stemless Wine Glass is that perfect antidote for end-of-the-day exhaustion with just you and your beloved animals piled in a cuddle puddle on the sofa.

With a 17 ounce capacity, it’s the ideal size to forget the day behind you and not worry about the one ahead, and the lead-free glass ensures it’s safe to drink from (which should be the bare minimum you expect, but whatever). It’s handmade, hand-blown, and boasts a modern design for the modern animal and wine lover.  Its lettering is also durable, and unlike similar-style glasses, this will stay looking great for many years to come as you grow your furry family, much to the chagrin of your partner. For the best results, we recommend hand washing it over cleaning it in the dishwasher.

The Pet Studio Art Don’t Judge My Dog Tote Bag is arguably the perfect gift for dog lovers with its cheeky hand-printed and original design that sums up what it is to be a dog owner like few other options.

The casual size is large enough to carry dog treats, store poop bags or toys, or just use them for your groceries. It measures 14” by 15”, and is easy to roll up to stash away, easy to wash, and easy to hang when you need to dry it.
