Overview
Four-legged friends are much more than just friends. They are a reason to get out of bed in the morning and go for a walk; they offer unwavering loyalty; and they can sense your emotions to know exactly when you need a cuddle. So, it's only fitting that you treat your pooch like a member of the family. Just like any good family member, sometimes pooches need to be spoiled, too.
So, in partnership with American Express, we've rounded up a selection of the most useful, cute and plush pet presents to bequeath them with. Whether it's a botanical wash that will leave your dog smelling as good as (or even better than) you, or a chew toy that's as chic as the accessories in your own wardrobe, these gifts will be sure to please the pup in your life.
