Dogs are man’s best friend for good reason; they’re intuitive, never judge, and are always excited to see you and be by your side. According to Rover.com, dog people show their pets how much they care too! In a report, called “The Real Power of Dog Love,” Rover found that 67% of devoted dog owners gaze lovingly into their dogs’ eyes and 47% of pet owners prefer to cuddle with their dog more often than with their partner. So it’s no surprise the bond between dogs and humans is strong. Since so many people are dog-obsessed, it’s likely that you have at least one dog lover in your life.
But what to buy for the dog lover in your life? We’ve made your search a little simpler by rounding up a selection of top-rated gifts every dog lover will appreciate.
