Fido Fresh! Fashion, Healthy Treats Among Top Pet Gift Trends for 2025

As pets become more integrated into daily life, the demand for unique, thoughtful gifts that cater to both pets and their owners is on the rise. For independent retailers, offering pet gifts can be a lucrative way to attract customers, enhance store appeal and tap into a market that has steadily grown in recent years. Consider stocking trends like these for your customers’ furry friends:

Bona-fido Fashion

Many devoted pet parents enjoy having their pets dressed in style, and this is especially true of millennial pet parents. In the 2025 Gift Book Consumer Survey, millennials were the most likely generational group to purchase pet clothing and accessories. While pet collars and leashes make sensible gifts for any pet owner, offering stylish, high-end accessories that make a fashion statement allows customers to spoil their pets with something special.

Geometric patterns such as triangles and chevrons are popular for their modern and minimalist appeal while vintage floral designs offer a touch of sophistication to any pet’s ensemble. Designer pet accessories, such as dapper bow ties or chic bandanas can add additional upsell opportunities, especially when merchandised as part of a set demonstrating the value and significance of the pet’s role in the family – think fashion for the whole wedding party, groomsdog included – or matching sibling pajamas for Christmas with a coordinating bandana for the family cat.

Pawsitively Wholesome Gifts

According to the 2025 Gift Book Consumer Survey, treats top the list as the most-bought pet item among pet owners followed closely by toys. In particular, organic treats, free from artificial additives and preservatives are on the rise, catering to health-conscious pet owners who want to assure their pets live long and happy lives, as well as aligning with broader wellness trends. Additionally, creatively packaged seasonal treats or gift sets that include a treat and a ball toy or even a toy and a matching accessory for the pet owner, are becoming increasingly popular, allowing these beloved companions to join in the festive fun during the holidays. Pet advent calendars will also continue to rise.

Gifts for Mom and Dad

For pet owners themselves, trending gifts include humorous and whimsical items celebrating their bond with their furry friends. Tea towels featuring pet-related puns, novelty socks adorned with playful dog illustrations, and home decor signs that joke about a pet’s mischievous behavior or their love of food can add a personal and lighthearted touch to a pet lover’s home, making them perfect for showcasing their affection or serving as charming conversation pieces with other pet owners.
