3. Best Dog Coat
Luther Bennett
This Honeycomb Waterproof dog coat from luxury dog pod company - Luther Bennett, will keep your dog feeling warm and looking stylish on the slopes or dapper on a dog walk this Christmas.
Luther Bennett's dog coat is available in a wide selection of sizes (including some specifically designed for Dachshunds) so you can order the perfect fit for your dog.
Firstly it's waterproof and warm, crafted with a soft polar fleece lining coupled with a waterproof quilted exterior.
But what we really like about this dog coat in testing is that the straps fasten on your dog's back not under the belly. It feels more secure, plus there are adjustable leg straps too which really helps give a snug finish and keep the coat aligned on your dog's back.
It doesn't end there, the coat also has a collar to keep the neck area warm which you can tighten with a toggle or choose to fold back on warmer days.
This Honeycomb coat is compatible with a harness or collar thanks to the handy hole on the back.
If you have a dog that simply loves mud, no problem! Simply throw it in the wash. The coat is machine washable on a cold cycle and dries quickly.
Lastly, there's the design. Dark olive green with striking orange stitching in a honeycomb pattern (as the name suggests) it comes in 5 size options plus a green version for Dachshunds.
4. Best GPS Tracker (without subscription)
PitPat
GPS trackers are extremely popular with dog-lovers because it's one of the best ways to locate your dog if they ever take off or go missing.
From boredom to fear or simply their basic hunting instinct, there are so many reasons why dogs might run away.
Investing in a GPS tracker can be a relatively small outlay which can have a massive payoff if you lose your dog.
We love PitPat's GPS tracker because there are no ongoing monthly subscription costs. Simply one payment and you're all set.
Available in a range of colours, PitPat also offer a very popular Activity Monitor so you can be sure your four-legged friend is working off all those Christmas treats !
5. Best Parody Toy Range
Pet Hates Toys
Want to Make America Great Again... or Take a Bite Out of Boris? 🐶😂
Introducing the Pet Hates Toy range: the ultimate in satirical dog toys! A UK-based dog toy brand known for their humorous and satirical designs, they create unique toys featuring parodies of famous political figures and other public figures.
With a wide range of options, including Trump, Boris, Putin, Biden, Sunak or go royal with King Charles, Camilla ?
As well as being incredibly entertaining, they use durable materials, so their toys are built to last.
Crafted with durable polycotton fabric and reinforced seams, the inner squeakers are encased in an additional nylon pocket to make their late-afternoon chew on the political leader all the more satisfying!
But these toys won't be suitable if you have a power chewer.
We loved putting their Trump dog toy through its paces and it was definitely the big talking point of the dog toy box. Treat your furry friend to a satirical chew this Christmas!
Available in two sizes.
6. Best Dog Bed
Baker & Bray
OK, so it's not specifically a Christmas dog bed, but this gorgeous sage green bed from Baker & Brays eco luxe orthopaedic range is stunning and very on trend.
This dog bed was crowned "Best Dog Bed of 2024" by The Telegraph surpassing pricier competitors like George Barclay and Scruffs.
If your dog loves to curl up, then this box style bed should tick all those boxes.
With thickly padded sides to rest those weary heads, a super-soft yet hard wearing fabric with an orthopaedic central cushion, it's available in 4 sizes and a range of stunning muted colours.
In testing, we were surprised at just how heavy the bed was - it's a solid, good quality dog bed and the mattress feels cushioned and supportive.
You can even try the bed out for 30 days with the option to return it if your dog doesn't love it - trust us your dog will definitely adore this bed !

Dogsy

Dogsy offer a wide range of great value, super cute dog toys including this exclusive Pawlity Street dog toy. We absolutely love their funny, parody collection which includes Toblebone, Nandogs, Puppuccino.
All their plush toys are high quality, durable and super soft, but we wouldn't recommend these toys if you have a aggressive chewer.

8. Best No-Pull Harness

Embark Pets offer a range of super comfortable, no-pull harnesses to help dog parents everywhere in a range of gorgeous, stylish designs.

9. Best Large Dog Toy
Good Boy
For the playful pooch, there's hours of fun on Christmas Day with this incredibly large super soft, squeaky, plush dog toy.
We adore this plush toy because it measures a whopping 64 cm in length so is suitable for the largest dog. Not only that, this Giant Festive Robin has crinkly material in its tummy and wings to help entice your dog to play.
Plus, each owl foot contains a squeaker which should keep your dog happy and entertained.
Like most fabric dog toys, this Giant Festive Owl is designed to stand up to some serious play but it's not indestructible.

10. Best Automatic Ball Launcher
PetSafe
For all those energetic dogs with not so energetic owners !
An automatic ball launcher for dogs that love to chase and play fetch but with exhausted owners who just need a cuppa, a dog tennis ball launcher has to be one of the best canine inventions bar none.
It's fair to say that we had so much fun reviewing the Automatic Ball Launcher from PetSafe.
You can opt to use it in your garden or the house thanks to the 9 distance and 6 ball angle settings. We love the flexibility this offers and can see how much fun it will be indoors during those cold and wet Winter days.
It's worth mentioning that it has motion and safety features built in so won't launch a ball if it senses your dog or you in front of the Ball Launcher.
As you can see from the video, we were dropping the tennis balls into the slot, but with a little patience we're sure that most dogs could be trained to drop the ball back in themselves.
It comes with two tennis balls so you're ready to go, and you can choose mains power or add some batteries which we did for more flexibility in the garden.
Anything else you need to know ? It does make a noise when launching the ball. If you have a more anxious dog, we'd suggest some reassurance and rewards to get them accustomed to the sound.
11. Best Dog Camera
Furbo 360°
Ultimately, a dog camera lets you check up on your furry friend when you're away from home. They can give you the ultimate peace of mind and really help to ease your dog's separation anxiety.
Perfect over the festive season, when you're visiting relatives and friends and can't always take your dog along.
The Furbo 360° is a premium dog specific camera designed to allow you to not only monitor but interact with your dog from afar using an app on your phone.
With an amazing feature set including a panning camera to follow your dog around, coloured night vision camera and a treat launcher alongside a quality camera and two-way audio so you can hear and talk to your dog, we think it's an impressive piece of kit.
The Furbo 360° is a must-try for any dog lover looking for the ultimate peace of mind, and in our eyes, the high-quality design and various bells and whistles more than justify its price tag.
If you'd like to find out more about the Furbo 360°, checkout our in-depth test & review in full - Dog Camera Review - New Furbo 360° |
12. Best Dog Raincoat
Barc London
Looking for a waterproof coat shouts cute and classy about town without breaking the bank ? How about a raincoat from Barc London ?
It's extremely functional yet very beautifully designed with a two small pockets, an adorable drawstring hood and popper fasteners on the underside.
Available in three on-trend colourways - green, orange and stone which will brighten up the greyest of days.
In testing we thought that the coat was beautifully designed.
It has a lovely soft inner side, fits well and because the material is thin ( think mac rather than puffer), it could easily be teamed with a fleece or jumper to offer additional warmth if needed.
We loved that it's ideal for rainy days when you don't necessarily need a thick, warm coat.
Completely waterproof, each jacket is made from recycled PU and has some nice detailing including a harness opening and colour coded drawstrings.
Barc London offer a really wide range of 7 sizes from XXS to XXL which is great as large dog coats can be tricky to find.
We think that Barc London offer a very classy, durable and good value raincoat. That's about it, save for the fact that Barc London also stock a colourful range of Puffer Jackets and Sherpa Fleeces if you're looking for some warmth.

14. Best Grooming Range
Earth Rated
Ready to pamper your pup for the holidays? 🐶🎄 Check out Earth Rated's new grooming range and give your furry friend a spa-like experience before Christmas.

Oh and there's the fact that their new grooming range is coat-specific. You can select a shampoo aimed at your dog's coat be it curly, double or short.
Each of the three shampoos in their range cleans, hydrates, and deodorises your dog's coat, leaving it fresh and soft.
Oh ! and their range also features a Refresh Mist which along with their wipes, is perfect for freshening up between shampoos. A super gently formula it has a refreshing white tea & basil scent which is not too overpowering. No need to rinse, simply spray and massage into your dog's coat.
