Low-Waste Gift ideas for Pet Parents

Looking for some gift ideas for the pet parent in your life? This year I made a dog-themed gift set for someone who has two adorable dogs! Below are some items that I purchased this year and I included some other gift ideas:

Order treats from Imperfect Foods:

Imperfect Foods carries treats by Shameless Pets and our girl Lily loves them! Their treats are free from grain, corn, and soy, contain no artificial flavors, and are also made in the USA. My favorite part about these treats is that they are made with some upcycled ingredients! They say that every 6 bags purchased = 1 pound of food rescued to reduce greenhouse gas emissions! Do good for the environment while your pup enjoys a delicious and nutritious treat? It’s definitely a win-win. Enjoy $80 off at Imperfect Foods with my link here.

Stasher Pocket bag for treats

I included one of these Stasher Pocket Bag in my gift set since I think they’re great to have for taking treats on the go! I’m going to put a few homemade dog treats in it to finish off my gift set.

These Stasher Bags are currently 30% off along with a handful of other styles!

Personalized Ornaments

I purchased a couple of wooden dog ornaments that are personalized with dog names on them. They turned out so cute! I added them to my dog box gift set but I think they’d also be really cute to put on a jar full of homemade treats! I got them from this Etsy store here. I also got a memorial dog ornament for a dog that recently passed away. Here is the Etsy shop link. Our family dog passed away a few years ago and I’ll never forget how special it was when we were given a personalized memorial dog ornament for her. This is such a thoughtful gesture for any dog parent out there. 

Make homemade treats

‘Tis the season full of lots of baking and we can’t leave our fur babies out! I’m so excited to make dog treats for the first time this season! Since I haven’t made them before, I’m going to bake them closer to when I visit my parents for Christmas so they stay fresh. I found this blog with 25 simple dog treat recipes that’ll I’ll be picking a recipe to try from! I’ll be putting a few treats in the Stasher Pocket bag and the rest in an upcycled jar. 

Organic Cotton dog rope

I got the Organic Cotton Dog Rope from The Waste Less Shop that is made in the US from sustainable organic cotton farms! It comes shipped in plastic-free packaging and feels like great quality! This added a nice touch to finish off my dog gift set!

Dog Waste Bag holder

Consider getting a dog waste bag holder or biodegradable dog waste bags, an essential for any dog parent! I absolutely love this cork dog waste bag holder from HowCork that you can get 10% off with my code COURTNEY10. They also have biodegradable dog waste bags from The Waste Less Shop that you can also enjoy 10% off with my code COURTNEY10.

Visit your local pet store

If you have a small, local pet store, see if they have any package free treats to put right in a Stasher Bag or jar! I’m sure they’ll also have lots of other great gift options for you to choose from while supporting a small local business!
