The ultimate Christmas gift guide for the dog lover in your life
Tis the season to find the best presents for all of our families and closest friends, and that includes our beloved pets, who also deserve to be spoiled at Christmas. But we believe that showing our love with a thoughtful gift shouldn’t cost the planet.
Waste collection company, Biffa estimates that the average UK household will create 30% more rubbish over the holiday period than any other time of year[1]. In fact, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affair (DEFRA) reported that we use more than 300,000 tonnes of card and throw away more than 277,000 miles of wrapping paper – which is enough to stretch all the way up to the moon[2].
Whether you’re on the hunt for the perfect gift for a boisterous puppy or for your dog-obsessed pal, there’s something for everyone in our guide of sustainable festive gifts for dogs and the people that love them.
