Valentine's Gifts for The Canine Love of Your Life

When it comes to clothing dogs, I always think you're better off sticking with the small breeds.

Now that's not to say that large dogs can't look very dapper in sweaters, T-shirts and the like, but I always sense a big dog, such as a Great Dane or a German Shepherd, has that "why are you making me look so undignified?" expression.

For small breeds, however, there is nothing cuter than a sweater or shirt, especially if it's Valentine's themed. 

For example, the two shirts on the right are almost too cute for words, aren't they? Let's be honest, any sweeter and we'd be in danger of becoming diabetic.

Importantly, both the shirts are made from a poly/cotton mix, which is very comfortable for your Valentine's-day-loving pooch and easy to wash (a must with dog clothing!)

Toys are important for our canine companions, as they help to keep their brains and bodies active.

And, of course, this is especially important if you're a busy family, whose dog spends time alone during the day.

It's vital that lonely dogs have something to keep them occupied - both for their happiness and to avoid boredom or distress-prompted destruction. 

So, if you're looking for more Valentine gift ideas for dogs, then why not consider an appropriately themed toy?

These toys will offer comfort when you're not around and fun when you are there to play along.

Whether big or small, old or young, dogs love to chew, chase and snuggle with their beloved toys and all of the ones shown on the left fit the bill. These are also extremely cute and are bound to set tails wagging.

And, for owners who perhaps don't want to go 'overboard' with Valentine's gifts for the dog, one small item is ample to ensure that he, or she, still feels part of the holiday fun.
