Under $50 Gift Guide for Dog Parents

Here are our top picks for dog training products WE LOVE under $50, that also happen to make great holiday gifts for your loved ones.

1. The ultimate fanny pack for dog parents

The Ruffwear Home Trail Hip Pack features separate spots so you can keep your keys clean in one pocket, your treats in another pocket, a dirty toy in its own pocket plus spots for poop bags and a carabiner clip. Oh and its own section to keep your phone safe.

2. A Bully stick holder and safety device

We LOVE bully sticks, and want to make sure they are safe as possible to enjoy. Which is why we're such big fans of the Bully Grip.. Not only does it make a great spot for paws to hold the chew in place, it's also an important safety device to ensuring the last portion of the bully stick isn't swallowed or choked on.

3. A snuffle bowl you can take on-the-go

Snuffle mats make great gifts because they are cute AND practical. You could feed your dog every meal out of a snuffle mat, which means it's being used daily! The person you give this to will be reminded of you all year long as when they give their dog food. The snuffle bowl in particular is also great for traveling and taking on-the-go as it has a drawstring closure.

4. Big fun for small spaces

This may look like a cat toy and a fun conversation starter to bring as a gift, it's also an incredibly useful one. The Flirt Pole is a great way to play fetch and tug without requiring a lot of space, and for keeping your hands a bit further away from nippy puppy mouths.

5) A soft and quiet treat-dispensing ball

We're big fans of work-to-eat toys, but if you're in an apartment you definitely want them to not make a lot of noise when they're banged around. In comes the rubber Gnawt-A-Rock by Ruffwear, that can be filled with dry food and knocked around apartment floors and walls without making a lot of noise or dents.
