![modernbeast red stocking with holiday themed toys]()
This cable-knit stocking full of holiday-themed plush toys is the ideal gift for the pup who needs help keeping themself entertained. Inside, you’ll find a carrot-shaped squeaker toy for dogs who love to munch on a veggie as much as a reindeer, a pouch of coal that you can use as a bargaining chip when they’re misbehaving, an organic, lavender-filled bone that will take your pup to Relaxation City, and a snowman ball that’s perfect for playing catch in the winter chill. What can we say? We love a theme.
![tree shaped dog enrichment lick mat in red]()
If peace on earth is the theme of the season, nothing will provide your holiday gathering more serenity than knowing your dog is hard at work at something other than accessing the gingerbread cookies on the counter. Not only is it a great stress reliever for your dog during the busy holiday season, but this lick mat helps clean plaque off their teeth and aids digestive health, so it’s a major win-win.
![Jax & Bones Bumble Terra Lounge Bed]()
Jax & Bones’s Bumble Terra Lounge Bed is designed like a sofa, allowing your pet to snuggle against whichever side they choose — perfect for dogs who like to curl up in corners. The filling is both eco-friendly and hypoallergenic, so you can feel proud that all creatures benefit from your pup’s stylish choice of nap pad.
The company reimagines waste materials like plastic bottles and fabric scraps into functional works of art that discerning pet parents will appreciate. “I started Jax & Bones in 2004 because I couldn’t find products on the market for Jax that were safe and stylish,” founder Tina Nguyen tells The Wildest. —CT and JT
![The Foggy Dog Indigo Mud Cloth Dog Bed]()
TBH, they had us at “Indigo Mud Cloth.” But wait, there’s more: Everything about these beds is beautifully done and carefully chosen, right down to the zippers. The Sustainafill™ insert is designed to stay fluffy for years — but it’s also fully removable, so you can stuff the anti-ripping cotton cover with any of your dog’s favorite cushions or blankets. Each bed is made of 100 percent recycled fiber sourced from plastic bottles, and The Foggy Dog donates food to rescue shelters for every purchase. And yes, we would like to design our house around this fabric please. —CT and JT
![PLAY Daffodil Yellow Outdoor Bedd]()
This is the perfect bed for dogs on the move: It’s waterproof, UV-resistant, and comes with grommets to secure it to almost any surface for windy days or bumpy boat rides. The performance fabric is commonly used in camping products, while the eco-friendly PlanetFill® filler is made from 100 percent post-consumer, certified-safe recycled plastic bottles. The brightly colored chevron print — designed exclusively for P.L.A.Y. by SF artist David Collins — is pretty cool, too. But the best part? Thanks to P.L.A.Y.’s Warm Bellies Initiative (in partnership with Petfinder Foundation), for every bed purchased, another will be donated to a shelter dog. —CT and JT

![sodapup sugar skull durable rubber chew toy and treat dispenser, pink skull]()
There’s nothing scarier than cleaning out the dregs of a treat dispenser — which is why we love this skull dispenser by Mutts Kick Butts. It’s dishwasher safe and crafted with food-safe and biodegradable material. Fill with dry food to use as a treat-dispensing toy or fill and freeze with dog-safe peanut butter for a spooky treat your dog can slowly lap up.
![west paw toppl toy]()
This two-in-one chew toy and treat dispenser is perfect for keeping your pup as busy as you are this fall.
“Treat-stuffable busy toys are a great way to keep dogs happily occupied when the family is away from home,” Schade says. “The trick is filling the toy so that the dog has to work hard to get the goodies out, but not to make it so tough that it becomes frustrating and your dog abandons the toy.”
![]()
This modern perch puts window sills to shame. It’s crafted from eco-friendly materials, supports up to 50 pounds, has hidden hardware, and features a scratching pad. It comes in eight colorways to match your decor (or your cat).

Another minimalist option, this design would look chic beside a window where light hits the wall. The white metal frame blends right in, while the felt hammock can be vacuumed or replaced when it’s seen too many hairballs.
![Dog tent in red]()
![SodaPup Can Toy]()
As a plastic soda can, this may be one of the safer choices for power chewers. According to Dr. Parthasarathy, “I recommend toys that you can indent with your fingernail, or can bend and squeeze a bit.”
![West Paw Qwizl]()
If any product line can give KONG a run for the title of most reliably indestructible toys, it’s West Paw. Plus, this option is made with zero-waste and recyclable material.
![House Paws]()
Drawing from her background as a designer for brands like Nike and Levi’s, Angela Medlin began designing toys for her Olde English Bulldogge, Wubbi, in 2017. Her hobby soon evolved into House Dogge, which earned a spot on Oprah’s “Favorite Things” list in 2020 for its sustainable, upcycled products including leather leashes, and biodegradable rope toys, and fleece hoodies (which you can customize with your dog’s name).
House Dogge supports Oregon dog rescue the NW Dog Project, and in her free time, Medlin pays it forward through her project Faas Design Collab, which “provides creative and professional development to underrepresented creatives desiring to enter the product creation industry.”

![brown box of poop bags]()
A play on the classic Bloomingdale’s little brown bag, these little poop bags don’t just harken back to the coveted — though wasteful — mall shopping sprees of our childhoods; they also encourage an environmental message. The biodegradable waste bags are unscented, made with corn starch, and are BPA free and leak proof, so you can cover all the bases.

![MTA MetroCard Plush Toy, FAB DOG]()
New Yorkers have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the MTA. We love that the subway and buses exist, but we could do without the constant service delays, re-routings, and ever-rising prices. And then there’s that hideous rule that says dogs have to be in carriers to ride. Ridiculous.
Well, at least your dog can take out their frustrations on this plush, chewable MetroCard — whether home on the couch, or stuck in their carrier (however swanky) on the way to the vet. You get that MetroCard, Rufus! That’ll show ‘em.
![Bagel with Cream Cheese, Ware of the Dog]()
New York lays claim to lots of iconic carbs, but none more proudly than the bagel. Although bagels originated in Jewish communities in Poland, the New York City version is in a league all its own — something about the water. And with a little cream cheese (or a lot)? Fugget about it!
![Taxi, P.L.A.Y. plush toy]()
Uber and Lyft might be taking over, but they’ll never fully replace yellow cabs in New York. And who would want them to? A New York City street without yellow cabs would be like a meadow without grass.

If you’re dying to (fake) mirror the actual look of Stereotypical Barbie, this gingham bandana by the ever-so-posh Foggy Dog is the way to go! You can even get it monogrammed with your pet’s name in a very Barbie font, and The Foggy Dog offers a matching scrunchie for pet parents, too!

BARBIE™ BUMBAG]()
