It's no surprise that Christmas gifts for dogs are becoming more popular every year.
If you are a crazy dogmom like myself there will be more christmas presents under the tree for the dog than for the humans like a ridiculously cute 'ugly Christmas sweaters' for your senior dog, to match his moms outfit
1) If your senior dog is like mine then food is the number one favourite gift.
Treats like crackers, bones, healthy seasonal treats , you can even make them yourself. Check out blog www.iamgurk.com , their dogmom has great recipes to make healthy and scrumptious treats.
2) Another great gift for an older dog, especially one that struggles with mobility, is a dog stroller. I know there is likely snow outside but winter is not forever

3) If your dog is suffering from arthritis then they may appreciate the therapeutic help that an orthopedic dog bed can bring.

4) Outside of the product world another terrific gift to give your senior dog is a canine massage. There is a growing number of professional dog massage therapists popping up to address the growing demand for this alternative treatment. If you have ever had a massage yourself you should understand just how great it can feel, not to mention the therapeutic benefits for your dog.
5) Donate
Instead of giving a lot of gifts to your senior dog (we know, they can't have enough beds...) give a donation to a shelter in name of your dog or sponsor your local shelter.
Why sponsoring a dog makes a great gift
Whether it's an unusual birthday gift, a charity Christmas present or special anniversary surprise, sponsoring a dog is the perfect gift for dog-lovers. Many people have space in their hearts for a dog of their own but don't have the time, space or financial ability to do so. By sponsoring a dog as a gift you'll not only provide them with a new doggy friend but you’ll also be helping change the lives of the thousands of abandoned dogs that come through the shelter doors every year.
