Stocking Stuffers Your Dog Will Love This Christmas | Best Treats, Toys and Gifts
When it comes to Christmas, our dogs are much more than pets — they’re family. And what better way to show your pup how much they mean to you than with a stocking full of goodies they’ll truly enjoy? From delicious treats to engaging toys and practical must-haves, this guide is packed with stocking stuffers your dog will actually love. Because at Petdirect, We Get Pet — and we get what makes tails wag.
Pawsome Treats For Tail-Wagging Delight
No stocking is complete without a handful of tasty treats. Choose from all dog treats that satisfy every kind of muncher — from chewy and meaty to crunchy and dental-boosting. We love including a few New Zealand-made treats like Awesome Pawsome or Mutt Butter for local flavour and quality. They’re perfect for sneaking into the toe of your pup’s stocking and guaranteed to get tails tapping on Christmas morning.
You can also pop in favourites like Yours Droolly Chicken Tenders, Omega Plus King Salmon Bites or Awesome Pawsome Super Pumpkin Treats, which are consistently loved by pups of all ages.
Looking for some festive options? Our Christmas stocking stuffers collection has seasonal treats and chews that bring extra holiday cheer — without any ingredients that are harmful to dogs (don’t worry, no chocolate here!).
Playful Toys To Beat Holiday Boredom
Keep the festive fun going with toys that entertain well beyond Christmas Day. From plushies perfect for snuggling to durable tug toys and puzzle games to challenge their smarts, there’s something for every pup. Check out our selection of toys under $20 for budget-friendly fun, or explore our full dog toys range with stocking-sized picks from brands like KONG and Multipet.
Popular picks include the KONG Holiday Cozie Reindeer, the Multipet Lamb Chop with Antlers, and the Winter Paws Christmas Santa Sloth Dog Plush Toy, all perfectly sized for stocking stuffing.
Interactive games like treat-dispensing puzzles or scented balls are great for mental stimulation during the often busy (and noisy) holiday season. They’re not just fun — they’re also a helping paw in preventing festive boredom or anxiety.
Grooming Goodies For a Fresh and Festive Pup
Pop some grooming essentials into your dog’s stocking for a gift that’s both practical and pampering. Festive-smelling dog shampoos, paw balms or a new brush from trusted brands like FURminator or WashBar are perfect for pups who like to look (and smell) their best for holiday guests.
Try slipping in the FURminator deShedding Tool, WashBar Manuka Dog Shampoo Bar, or a M-PETS Bamboo Slicker Brush for a grooming upgrade they’ll appreciate.
If your dog’s not a fan of bath time, something as simple as a new grooming glove or deodorising spray can make a world of difference. Small, thoughtful gifts like these also help pet parents sail through summer shedding season with ease.
Everyday Essentials With a Festive Twist
Stocking stuffers don’t have to be all about play — they can be practical too. Pop in a new name tag, a collapsible travel bowl or stylish poop bag holder. Our great value finds under $10 are full of these everyday essentials that are perfect stocking-size gifts but still pack a punch when it comes to usefulness.
The M-PETS Eco Bamboo and Stainless Steel Pet Food Bowl, M-PETS POO Bamboo Dog Waste Bag Dispenser with Bags, or M-PETS Antibacterial Cat & Dog Cleaning Wipes are essentials many pet parents love adding to their toolkit.
Got a pup who lives in their harness or bandana? Treat them to a fresh new colour or festive pattern from brands like EzyDog or Dog Friendly Co.. Useful, stylish and something they can flaunt on your summer beach walks — win-win!
Calming Goodies For Sensitive Souls
If your dog finds the holiday hustle a little overwhelming (cheers, fireworks or visiting family, anyone?), include a calming gift in their stocking this year. A natural remedy or calming essential like a soothing chew, pheromone collar or a new ThunderShirt can make a world of difference when things get a bit much. Some of the most popular options include the Adaptil Calm Collar, ThunderShirt Calming Dog Coat, and Vetafarm Lovebites B-Calm Dog Calming Chews.
And because we’re all about helping you support your pet’s wellbeing, all our calming products are formulated with your dog’s safety and comfort in mind — just ask your vet if you’re unsure which one suits your pup best.
