Buying for a dog is tricky because the dog can't say what it likes, and size, coat and habits vary a lot from one dog to the next. Practical things tend to land best, like a well-sized pet bed or a sturdy leash for daily walks.

How to choose for the dog
- Measure the dog lying stretched out, then pick a bed a little longer so there's room to sprawl.
- Match leash length and weight to the dog's size and walking style, whether that's city sidewalks or open trails.
- Pick grooming tools made for the dog's specific coat, since short, double and curly coats each need different brushes.
- For an ID tag, confirm the current phone number with the owner first, then keep the engraving short and easy to read.
Usually safe to skip
- Novelty costumes, since many dogs won't wear them and they end up in a drawer.
- Crates or carriers bought without measurements, because a poor fit makes them hard to use.
- Heavily scented grooming products, which can bother dogs with sensitive noses.
Questions people ask about gifts for the dog
- What is a good Christmas gift for a dog owner's dog?
- A comfortable bed, a sturdy leash or an engraved ID tag gets used every day. Ask the owner about the dog's size and habits first, so the gift fits and doesn't need to be exchanged.
- How do I pick the right size dog bed?
- Measure the dog from nose to base of tail while it's lying down, then add some extra length. Dogs that curl up can use a round bed, and dogs that stretch out do better on a flat, rectangular one.
- Is a dog house a good gift?
- It can be, if the dog spends time outdoors and the owner has room for one. Check the dog's height and the yard space first, since a dog house is bulky and hard to return.
