(One of my daughters was horrified by this vile misrepresentation of Pebbles’ sweet and gentle nature. All in good fun, sweetie!)
Goldendoodle Holiday Wish List 2023
Have you started to daydream about what gifts are you giving your dog, or dog lover, this Christmas? In our private Facebook Fur Family Group, I asked our NY Dandy Doodle puppies’ families what their favorite products were this year to help round out our list. There’s nothing quite like the voices of those that are raising puppies themselves to speak from their own experiences.
Here it is; a compilation of top suggestions for our 2023 Holiday Gift Giving List for the favorite puppy, or puppy owner, in your life.*
Stockings to Hold the Gifts:
Personalized Christmas Stocking for Dogs
I swear our dogs get as excited about their Christmas presents as our kids do! Now your pup can have a custom stocking of his or her own! (Isn’t the one shaped like a dog paw the cutest?!)
Dog Toy Gifts
TrustyPup Strong ‘N Silent Platypus Silent Squeak Plush Dog Toy, Chew Guard Technology – Brown, Large
Have you tried a silent squeaker toy with your pup yet? These are set to squeak in the ultrasonic range, so our dogs can have the satisfaction of hearing them squeak while they remain blissfully silent to our ears. What a cool concept (or is this the latest version of the Emperor’s New Clothes… I don’t know, but it’s worth a try!)
2 Pack Latex Pig Dog Toys That Oink
Our dogs LOVE the sound of this toy (we have a hippo version, but they sound identical.) The goofy noise it makes when squeezed always makes us laugh! Just don’t step on it on accident, or it’ll make you jump a mile. So much fun!
Nerf Dog Rubber 3-Ring Tug Dog Toy
Don’t let the medium/large breed designation fool you. Even our little puppies feel like big-shots when tugging and lugging this sturdy, weighty toy around. Every dog here has loved this toy so much, I’ve purchased it repeatedly!
Jolly Pets Teaser Ball Dog Toy, Medium/6 Inches
I just ordered this one, and I’m so excited that it will be here tomorrow! It makes for a great, sturdy outdoor toy, and according to the reviews, it even floats! Dogs love trying to get the inner ball out (they can’t) and carrying the outer portion around like prey. People said that the ball lasts for years, but it can get sharp around the holes if your dog chews excessively. So, if you have an aggressive chewer, keep an eye on them. Comes in 4 different sizes.
Best Pet Supplies Crinkle Dog Toy for Small, Medium, and Large Breeds, Cute No Stuffing Duck with Soft Squeaker
An unstuffed dog toy that crinkles and squeaks? Yes, please! There are also adorable chickens and bunnies at this same link. I’m torn on which to choose…we may end up with one of each for our fur kiddos’ Christmas gifts this year!
Jolly Pets Tug-n-Toss Heavy Duty Dog Toy Ball with Handle, 6 Inches/Medium, Blue
Designed for dogs that love to tug and chase, this ball is made of a special material that will not deflate. Note that it is not designed for heavy chewers.
Gift for Dogs That Are Super Chewers:
Nylabone Dog Stick Chew Toy Maple Bacon X-Large
It’s their favorite and lasts forever.” Sounds like a phenomenal toy for crate time!Keep an Eye Out for Santa Visiting your Dog with This Dog Camera:
Furbo 360° Rotating Dog Camera Treat Dispenser: Auto Dog Tracking with Color Night Vision & 2-Way Audio Speaker | Barking Alerts | Indoor Puppy Camera | Pet Camera w/ Phone App (Optional)
Can’t be with your pet, but want the reassurance that he or she is ok while you’re away? This camera will keep an eye on your furbaby and give you a live-time view of what’s going on at home through your phone. You can speak to your dog through the Furbo, and launch treats to reward good behavior, calm anxiety, etc. Available both with and without subscription.
Containers for Dog Food, Treats, and More:
Bone Dry Lattice Collection Pet Bowl & Canister, Large Set, 7.5×2.4″, Nautical Blue, 2 Piece
I am in love with the look of these dishes, they’re just so pretty. Dishwasher safe with removable nonslip grips on the bottoms. Which color is your favorite?
Bone Dry Lattice Collection Pet Treat Canister, 4×6.5 inches, Stone
Tired of the dog treat bag sitting out all of the time? This adorable, small treat canister with a paw print lattice design comes in a variety of beautiful colors and will look nice even if it’s left out on the counter. Seals tight to keep treats fresh longer.
IRIS USA 50lbs Airtight Pet Food Storage Container With Casters
I’ll let you in on a little secret: I’ve used these containers for years now for our bulk flour and rolled oats storage (Keeping 8 kids fed is no joke!) These containers seal well, and are awesome because you can roll them away in a closet or pantry when not in use. Riding them around the kitchen is not recommended. Ask me how I know…kids, lol!
Pamper Those Paws with this Dog Balm:
Natural Dog Company PawTection Balm Stick for Dogs (2oz) | Veterinarian-Approved and All-Natural Dog Paw Balm and Moisturizer | Nourishing Dog Paw Protector for Rough Terrain and Harsh Temperatures
Are your little buddy’s paw pads dry in the winter, or uncomfortably hot walking around in the summer? This will help with both! Bonus, it reminds me of the chapstick I always received in my Christmas stocking growing up, but the ingredients are so much better!
Human Wear for Dog Lovers:
Dog Mama Long Sleeved Shirt
Express your doggie devotion. Cute and cozy, this shirt will be great for layering and running the dog outside. Comes in so many different pretty colors, too.
Best Dog Dad Ever T- Shirt
I’ve met the dog dads. They’re amazing! Let him know you think so, too, with this awesome T- Shirt. It comes in LOTS of different colors! Size up.
Doggy Wear to Protect from Cold, Snow, and Wetness:
Reversible Waterproof Winter Dog Jacket
This jacket looks warm and extremely comfortable, and comes in so many different plaids you just might want to get more than one.
Bodyguard Protective All-Weather Dog Pants
Avoid the millions of frozen snowballs in your Goldendoodle’s fur with this terrific pair of dog pants that will keep the snow and cold out. Also can be worn for walks in the rain, and will help keep your dog’s undercarriage clean and mud free. Yes, they can still use the bathroom while wearing this (I checked just to be sure!)
That's a Wrap! Gift Wrap for Goldendoodles and Their People:
Apricot Goldendoodle Christmas Thick Wrapping Paper
For those of you with apricot colored Doodles, look at this. You can wrap your gifts in doodles, how cute is that?!

My Boston Terrier loves these; Pawstruck Peanut Butter Filled Cow Hooves for Dogs.
Ohh, I’ll have to check them out. Thank you for sharing your Boston’s favorite with us! I will put a caution out there to watch for sharp shards with treats like these. One of our puppy’s families just went through sickness, tummy distress, and x-rays from what the vet thought was a partial obstruction from a shard of an elk antler. They antlers AMAZING for teething, but it turned out she swallowed a piece of it. Poor baby! 🙁 I had them linked here and ready to share in this article until I learned about what she went through right before publication.
