4. Eco-Friendly Squeaker Dog Toy

Is there such thing as “too many toys” for our pups? We think not!

The Foggy Dog’s handcrafted squeaky dog toy is guaranteed to be a wag-worthy gift. 

Make playtime even more of a blast with a heavy-duty squeaker that just won’t stop squeaking even if it becomes punctured. Since this is a plush toy, it is not indestructible. Although, it is incredibly durable.

This modish toy is made with the same long-lasting material as the company’s dog beds and stuffed with eco-friendly fiber filling from recycled plastic bottles. 

A special bonus: Every order from The Foggy Dog helps a shelter dog in need.

Color options include Sand Beige, Toasted Brown and French Country Blue.

6. Organic Shea Butter and Beeswax Paw Balm

Believe it or not, but we’re not the only ones who suffer from winter skin. 

Our dog’s paws, much like our hands, can become dry and cracked when exposed to cold weather or after a long day of fun outdoors. Obviously, this can be a real pain for our furry friend. 

The solution? This 100% organic paw balm by Scottish brand, Dug and Bitch.

The balm contains shea butter, beeswax, olive fruit oil, sweet almond oil, and calendula oil. Each ingredient soothes, stimulates, renews and revives your dog’s paw pads. Simply massage the balm into your pooch’s paw pads and elbow joints, and wait for it to absorb and dry.
