Do you like to buy gifts for your chihuahua? Do you spoil your pooch with gifts? Do you like to give your friend’s dogs (don’t leave out the cats, they get very jealous!) gifts? It’s fun, isn’t it?
I love to wrap gifts and watch them spend 20 or 30 minutes trying to open them. Not only is it fun for them, it’s oh-so entertaining for you! Holidays, of course, are a perfect time to give them gifts, but don’t just do it then. Do it all year round.
Our fur kids, just like our two-legged kids grow tired of the same old toys and games after awhile and really should be spoiled with gifts throughout the year (as our circumstances allow, of course). Here is a list of 10+ of my favorite four legged fur baby gifts.
- Chew Toys
- Interactive Toys
- Plush Toys
- Balls & Fetch Toys
- Fancy Dollars & Matching Leashes
- Treat Dispensing Toys
- Comfy Beds
chew toys
All dogs love to chew, and all chihuahuas love gifts, but younger ones not only love to chew, but they also need to chew. It’s good for their teeth and gums, and it’s fun! Chew toys make great inexpensive gifts. Not a lot of money for a whole lot of fun. No need to run all over town looking for different types and styles of chew toys. You can buy 18 different styles all right here!

interactive toys
As any Chihuahua parent knows, it’s important to keep your little one active, both physically and mentally. Your Chi will tell you that these interactive toys are the gifts that Chihuahuas want most. It is the best way to keep them from getting bored and bored pooches entertain themselves in destructive ways.
our favorite interactive toys:

plush toys
Again, plush toys like chew toys are inexpensive and make great gifts for your chihuahua. These are the kind of toys that you should either replace often or cycle them out by hiding a few of their favorite toys for a few weeks and then re-introducing them. They will think they have brand-new toys! I prefer the unstuffed kind for safety’s sake.
balls & fetch toys
Not all dogs are into playing fetch. Chico used to LOVE to play fetch when he was young. But he is no longer with us. None of my others will play fetch, however, ironically, our cat Lucy DOES. She will play for hours if you keep throwing the ball. 😜
FANCY CoLLaRS & MATCHING LEASHES
Okay, these may be more gifts for you than gifts for your Chihuahua, but isn’t it fun to buy new collars and leashes? Confession: I have a whole drawer FULL of callers & leases. Clearly, I have an affinity for them. Of course, for practicality you may not want fancy ones for every day, but how about when you go out? On a trip? Special occasion? Even if the gift is not one they would consider “fun” they will still have a great time unwrapping them!
a few of our favorites!

Matching collar & leash set by beirui
Adjustable collar with easily removable flower (not feeling it today? no problem!) XS to L sizes and 6 colors & patterns to choose from.
treat dispensing toys
These are somewhat like interactive toys in that they can keep your dog mentally engaged for hours at a time. The most well-known of these are the Kong toys. My dogs will literally spend hours working at getting a treat out of a Kong. I also recommend taking one or two (definitely one per dog) with you when you go on trips. They will keep them busy in the hotel room or in the camper which in turn will keep you all sane and happy. 🙂 Find some great healthy Kong Stuffing Ideas: The Ultimate Guide To Healthy Kong Stuffing Ideas

Dog beds
You should wash your dog beds thoroughly every two weeks (or more), so beds aren’t something you need to replace often. It is a good idea to replace them occasionally. Although your dogs may not be thrilled with a new bed (they will appreciate it later), they will love unwrapping it! You may want a different bed for summer — one that cools — than for winter — one that keeps them warm. I also have a bed in every room in the house (well, except the bathroom) :)) So, you too may be looking for a new bed. You can find some great ones at PetSmart and Amazon.
