Doggy Gift Guide: 10 Local Businesses to Support This Holiday Season
The holiday season is here, and that means so is gift-giving season! The right gift shows our loved ones just how much we appreciate them, so don’t forget to show your furry family members your appreciation, too. Our team at To Wag & To Hold has compiled the ultimate list of gift ideas to show your pup and local Seattle businesses some love!
Some Doggie R&R
Nothing will get your dog’s tail wagging like a weekend getaway! Treat your pet (and yourself!) to a relaxing stay at a local dog-friendly hotel. The Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland offers the Woof, Wag & Worry Less package, which includes luxury accommodations like plush dog beds, treats, and more. Two other dog-friendly hotels we love are The Thompson Seattle and The Edgewater.
Picture Pawfect Moments
Want memories that will last a lifetime? Book your pet a special photoshoot to capture the love between you. They’ll love being in the spotlight, and you’ll love sharing the images with family and friends. Photos would also make for excellent holiday cards. Be sure to check out Holly Cook Photography and Marie Wulfram Photography, who is offering special holiday micro-sessions.
A Gift That Gives Back
Not only are these doggie hats from local maker All Dog Kind super cute, but they also support a great cause. Your dog will love the stylish Gift Bow Hat or the Knit Winter Hat, and you’ll love that 20% of every purchase goes to local animal rescues.

A Festive Feast
Charcuterie boards are always trending, and now you can include your pup in on the fun! Gift your dog one of PNW Paw Cuteries’ delicious and adorable pawcuterie boards. The Naughty or Nice Christmas Pawcuterie Board is sure to delight.
A Membership to Fun
Seattle and its surrounding areas are full of wonderful play spots for your pets. Why not gift your pup with a membership so they can enjoy a gift that keeps on giving? Choose from Dog Yard, Dogwood, Martha’s Garden, or Pickles Playland, which is especially made with smaller dogs in mind.

Nothing says celebration quite like dessert. Give your sweet pup something sweet to eat with a local doggie dessert maker. Beau’s Lil Barkery has an Advent Calendar that is almost too cute to eat. Check out Skyler Dog Bakery and Puddles Barkery, too.
This adorable Advent Calendar from Beau’s Lil Barkery is available in multiple flavors and also has cat safe treats as well! Buy one here!

A Spot on the Tree
Honor your pup in ornament form with one of these super cute and sentimental dog ear ornaments. This custom-made keepsake will complete any family’s tree. Bonus: Little Paws Collection is both AAPI and woman-owned.
Painted Pet Portraits
Pay tribute to your favorite pet with an irreplaceable custom portrait of them. Kait’s Calling does an amazing job of capturing every dog’s spirit on canvas. Their furry face deserves to be framed!
A Spa Experience
There’s nothing better than that just-stepped-out-of-the-salon feeling, and your pet deserves the same. Give the gift of a fresh groom and spa day at Earthwise Pet in Fremont. Be sure to ask for Jess–she’s the best.
Adorable Accessories
Your pet is already cute, but these bandanas from Legit Adorable Pets will make them even cuter. The Oh What Fun Deluxe Bandana or Naughty or Nice Duo Bandana are sure to make anyone swoon.
