Dog lover gift ideas in Australia

Dog people are easy to please when a gift shows you pay attention to their dog. The most loved presents use the dog's name or fit into daily walks and cups of tea at home. Here are ideas that suit a birthday, Mother's Day, Christmas or a new puppy.

A portrait with your dog's name

The Dog Portrait Print shows a softly drawn golden retriever wearing a flower crown, with your dog's name lettered beneath. It is made to order in A4 or 30 x 40 cm, framed in natural oak or black, and arrives ready to hang.

It is a lovely gift for a new puppy parent, a birthday or a mum who calls her dog "my other child". Enter the name exactly as you want it to appear, because each print is made to order and cannot be changed once production starts. Browse all dog lover gifts in one place.

A memorial for a dog who has gone

If the dog has passed away, the Forever in My Heart dog memorial print is a gentle keepsake with the name and years. Our guide to pet memorial gift ideas explains how to give it with care, and what to write in a pet sympathy card helps with the note.

For the walk

A cotton tote is handy for dog walks: it carries a flask, a book for the cafe stop and a spare lead. The Wildflower Meadow tote is a pretty everyday bag, and the Steep Slowly tote suits someone who loves a slow lap of the park.

For the cuppa afterwards

A mug is a thoughtful extra. The Gum Blossom mug carries a sprig of native blossom and comes in five colours. See tea lover gifts for more ideas.

Gifts for dog mums and dads

Many people think of their dog as family, which makes pet gifts a perfect fit for Mother's Day. Read our Mother's Day gift ideas for more. If you are buying for a cat person, our cat lover gift ideas have a matching approach.

How to order

Production takes 3 to 7 business days and delivery 2 to 5 business days within Australia. Shipping is a flat A$12.95, free over A$150. Allow about two weeks before a birthday or Christmas.

Wrapping

Tuck a small note into the frame's packaging, or give the print with a handwritten card. We do not offer printed cards yet, so a card of your own is best. If the recipient is also grieving a pet, keep the tone gentle and skip the jokes.

Gifts for people who are about to get a dog

A new puppy is a big change. A mug for the sleepless early mornings and a tote for the first trips to the park are practical and kind. Add the portrait print once the puppy has a name, so it can go up in the first week.

Gifts for dog lovers who are not sure they want decor

Not everyone wants a dog print on the wall. A mug or tote with a botanical design is more subtle and still feels personal. If you are not sure, start there.

Choosing the frame

Natural oak looks warm and friendly with a golden retriever illustration and suits most homes. Black frames give a crisper look and work well in modern rooms. Both arrive ready to hang, with an acrylic front.
