Look, we all think our dogs are special, so why not feed them their breakfast and dinner in a bowl specifically made for them?—SZ

All of the holiday commotion can be overstimulating for pups. If you get the sense they’re counting the minutes until it’s over, send them into the future with the Wicked Ball. Cheerble’s gadget is the next generation of interactive toys; it’ll roll, bounce, and light up on its own providing a fun and rigorous physical and mental workout.

Mark Wahlberg might be a meathead, but there’s no denying that “Good Vibrations” is an absolute banger. Celebrate the ’90s hit with this harness that will afford your dog more mobility to dance. Plus, it includes a healing crystal that would be handy for anyone who has to watch Ted (2015).

With pomegranate-scented shampoo, refresher, and even cologne, this kit is likely the closest your pet will ever get to getting pampered at an actual spa.—SZ

The Ubbe is more than its Instagramable aesthetic, though that certainly doesn’t hurt. This fillable toy will keep your pup occupied for hours and its detachable design will ensure it doesn’t take you just as long to clean when they are done.

Whistle’s latest smart device lets you track your pet’s wellbeing and activity while offering personalized insights to detect possible ailments early. It’s an ideal holiday option because the best gift really is good health — unless we’re counting alcohol or cash, neither of which is of any use to your dog.

Finally, a pet product for sneaker heads. Let’s just hope your dog doesn’t do to these what they did to your Jordans while teething.

Sure, it’s great to see fam, spread joy, and give back, but let’s be honest — the best part of any holiday is the excuse to festively dress up our pets. This bandana is as good as you’ll get without going the full-blown Rudolph-costume route.

Just when you thought there wasn’t anything left that Supreme hadn’t slapped its logo on, at least now your dog can get in on the trend. Besides, if they don’t like it, it’ll probably resale for, like, eight times the initial value.

As an aging punk, I certainly understand the appeal of a good jacket patch. But instead of flashing logos for bands that mostly broke up before I was born, these are a bit more personal and a lot less intense. But I’m sure if my dog were to start writing fast-paced anthems, “Will Sit for Snacks” and “Been There, Peed on That” would be pretty high up on their song list.—SZ

Remember the first time you wore a pair of Uggs, and it felt like walking on a cloud? This bed made entirely of recycled materials can give your dog that same feeling every single night. That is, until Tom Brady starts sleeping on one and ruins a trend for everyone again.

For over 100 years, Barbour has been producing breathable wax jackets out of England that, thanks to their durability and enduring style, have stood the test of time (peep just about any royal-portraying actor wearing one in). Well, now they not only make them for dogs but offer similarly sturdy toys to match.—SZ
