Love is in the air and I'm on the hunt for the most romantic pet gifts all the dogs are barking about! We love our dogs more than we love most people, so why not spoil our dogs for Valentine's Day? I spent days searching and uncovering the most unique, quirky, fun-loving, and of course, romantic Valentine's Day gifts for dogs that Etsy has to offer. When you shop Etsy, you support small businesses, artists, and makers, a pretty lovable thing to do. I featured Etsy shops located in North America with 5-star ratings (at the time of post). No need to sniff anywhere else to find a Valentine for your pup because this is the ultimate Valentine's Day gift guide for your dog.

Give your dog the perfect Valentine

The perfect gift starts with the perfect card! Valentine's Day is all about giving cards, and I know you want to find find the best Valentine's Day card for your dog. Well, I think I found it!

The boop: Simple, adorable, and a symbol of unconditional love. I know what you're thinking. Of course, I picked a card featuring a dog that looks like Hazel. I couldn't help myself! The Saint Bernard boop is too cute to handle. But before you say bye-bye to the boop, Hot Pink Studio offers the dog boop card featuring a variety of dog breeds including German Shepherd, Great Dane, Bernese Mountain Dog, Chihuahua, Pitbull, Golden Retriever, and Border Collie. The card is a downloadable file that you print yourself. With this boop, I ask you: Will you be my Valentine? 

Gifts your dog will drool over

Life is like a box of chocolates, unless you're a dog. For dogs, a box of chocolates could mean life and death. It's important to keep toxic Valentine's Day chocolate away from curious snouts. That doesn't mean dogs can't have their own heart-shaped goodies. These are Valentine's Day dog treats that will warm your pup's heart- and fill a hungry tummy! 

Another dog bakery that has been struck by Cupid's arrow is Houndsome Dog Bakery. Gotta love their name! At Houndsome Dog Bakery romance and the smell of cookies is in the air. Their Valentine's Day collection of expertly decorated handmade dog cookies is date night worthy. 

These cookie designs give dogs a taste of what their human's Valentine's Day is like. The Valentine's Day collection includes gourmet cookies decorated to look like a box of chocolates and chocolate-covered strawberries. Both are romantic sweets dogs can't have because chocolate is toxic to dogs. But Houndsome Dog Bakery found a way to make your dog's chocolate-covered dreams come true!

Gifts for the playful pooch

Games are fine on Valentine's Day as long as they are not games of the heart. Show your love by gifting your pooch one of these festive Valentine's Day dog toys.

I'm a little obsessed with snuffle mats! Hazel tracks with her nose so much in the winter. It must be the Saint Bernard in her that makes her determined to find things in the snow. I was searching for ways to mentally stimulate dogs with determined noses and discovered SnuffleMatCo. The SnuffleMatCo flower is the perfect bouquet to give to your dog on Valentine's Day! 

Snuffle mats provide mental stimulation and entertainment that can help reduce your dog's energy level, which helps a lot on freezing winter days when our dogs can't spend time outdoors. They will help reduce boredom until temperatures rise again. 

Snuffle mats are great training tools! The mat is a slow feeder, helps reduce naughty behaviour, and allows your dog to experience the joy of 'hunting' for food! SnuffleMatCo's products are handmade and have a satisfaction guarantee. The soft fabric mats are surprisingly durable, have a no-slip grip, and are machine washable- now THAT'S something I can wag my tail at. Dogs experience the world through with their noses, so treat your dog to some snuffing this Valentine's Day.
