Dog people get it—there's just nothing like the pure love a fur baby brings you. Whether you've raised them from puppyhood or adopted them later in life, the bond between a dog and its owner is such a special one (and one Oprah knows well herself!). They're always there for you, ready to cuddle away a bad day, keep you company while you stream your favorite show, accompany you on a weekend hike, or make you laugh with their quirky habits. They're more than a best friend—they're a member of your family.
That being said, there aren't a ton of opportunities to really spoil your pup. Sure, you care for them day in and day out—feeding them, brushing their coat (and vacuuming their hair), filling up their love tank with belly scratches—but it's not often that you come home with a gift that really gets their tail wagging. This year, why not use Valentine's Day as an excuse to do just that?
Below, we're rounding up 15 Valentine's Day gifts for dogs that are the perfect way to show Fido just how much he means to you. From a plush dog bed you can nestle next to your own and indulgent V-Day-worthy treats to new walking gear and heart-covered attire (really!), these picks are paws-atively awesome.
66 Unique Gifts That’ll Delight Every Dog Lover
If you also have a human companion to spoil on Valentine's Day, treating your dog to a legit steak dinner is probably out of the question, lest you want to shell out the big bucks. Instead, sprinkle this dog food topper on their usual kibble before you head out for date night. It will not only add extra protein to their meal but also pack it with a burst of real beef flavor that will leave them begging for more (literally).
