There’s nothing quite like the love between a human and their dog, especially if said dog has A) changed their life in some shape or form, B) proven to be a world-class snuggler, or C) been generally awesome. Which is pretty much a given, if you ask me anyone.

Dog lovers don’t need a holiday to show their pups how much they care, particularly because dogs do not understand the workings of a calendar, but their people certainly won’t mind. Check out these 21 bomb Valentine’s Day gifts for dog lovers!

1. BarkBox (or Super Chewer) Subscription, $22/mo+

Give the gift of quality toys designed in-house, full-size bags of treats, and meaty chews each month for the pups who happily take the blame for your gas. You guys are the real troopers.

2. Custom Handmade Dog Bowl, $48

These personalized wheel-thrown stoneware bowls are hand-stamped and dipped in a glaze that suits your fancy. Serve up that fancy filet mignon V-day dinner in something just as special!

3. Orthopedic Gel Memory Foam Dog Bed, $34.99–54.99

Dogs get a healthy 12-14 hours of beauty sleep on the daily, so their snoozles should be spent on something worthy. The gel + memory foam combo provides relief for sore joints, and the removable and washable cover is a huge cleanup bonus.

4. Canvas Pet Tote, $160–180

As canine chauffeur, you know that comfort and convenience are top priorities for travel. The folks at Love Thy Beast designed this carry tote with tough, double-layer canvas, a wide head scoop, and storage pockets for stray treats and poop bags.

5. Dog Park Trio Bundle, $58

Made for pup parents who are all too familiar with those dog park struggles, this bundle includes a roomy canvas tote with treat pocket, ball pouch, poop bag holder, six rolls of poop bags, and a four-pack of the best balls ever.

6. WagWellies, $64

Wet and muddy paws are the bane of floors everywhere, so why not stop the mess at the source? 100% rubber, open-vented slits for easy dressing, and a secure strap make these booties last through all manner of puddle jumping.

7. Shock Absorbent Leash, $35.99–41.99

Got a case of shoulder-pulled-out-of-socket? Dogs lunging at squirrels are NBD with these leashes’ shock absorbent spring, locking leash clip, and comfy padded handles.

8. Ombre Cotton Rope Dog Collar, $56

Dedicated to communicating the importance of rescuing animals, the humans at Found My Animal built this collar to last as long as your undying love. It’s hand-dyed with domestic leather and marine-grade rope.

9. Custom Watercolor Dog Portrait, $30–50

Whether they hang it on the living room wall or frame it on their desk, literally no one would be disappointed to receive a portrait of their pup. This artist works with watercolors and is happy to customize–just ask!

10. Goodwalk Non-Pull Harness, $65–99

There’s no need to sacrifice style for practicality. Designed with strong hemp webbing and reliable brass hardware, this harness from See Scout Sleep will get you where you need to go, no matter how hard your pup pulls.

11. Embark Dog DNA Test Kit, $189

It’s the question all mutt-parents want answered! This test kit requires a quick cheek swab to tell you all about your dog’s breed, ancestry, and possible health concerns.

12. Pop Your Pup!, $39.99+

Get your dog’s adorable mug printed on all kinds of products, from phone cases to t-shirts, pillows to wall art! Everyone knows their dog is the best (they are), and with unlimited edits and over 80 background options, you really can’t go wrong.

13. Rescued Wine Candles, $28

These recycled wine bottles get to live a second life as candles scented with custom blended fragrances and essential oils. Rescued Wine even gives back to dogs in need by donating 10% of profits to rescues nationwide!

14. Pooch Selfie: The Original Dog Selfie Stick, $9.99

Let’s be real—any dog lover’s camera roll is basically hundreds of pictures of their pup’s face. Get them to say cheese looking at the camera with an invention that makes us wonder why we didn’t think of it first.

15. Winer Dogs Drink Markers, $15.77

Never sip from the wrong toilet bowl wine glass again! These cute silicone doxies help you mark your territory, and they’re sure to get at least a heartfelt chuckle.

18. “Best In Show” Collar Charm, $18

Every dog deserves “Best In Show” for something—length of a fetch game, stinkiness of farts, cuddliest of snuggles, you name it. Attach this adorable charm to your key chain or right on your pup’s collar to show ’em the love.

19. Playful Pets Puzzle, $16.99

Spend a cozy afternoon with your best friend, a glass of wine, and a dog puzzle. Can you think of a better lazy day? This 1,000-piece jigsaw will help you brush up on your breeds AND your fine motor skills.

21. Wet Dog by Sophie Gamand, $4.99+

Photographer Sophie Gamand captures dogs at their silliest, most genuine moments—and compiles them into awesome books. Even dripping wet with looks of sheer betrayal, dogs are still pretty dang cute.
