With their sweet wagging tails and personality-packed purr sessions, pets provide a constant source of joy and devotion. Our furry family members work hard to keep our spirits up and we can’t thank them enough for their service—but we can try! From handcrafted collars and leashes to well-deserved toys and treats, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite gifts for pets to show our appreciation—courtesy of seven real Etsy fans on Instagram. Grab your lint roller and get ready to dig in!

Delightful dog collars

Charlie and Zita, the prettiest German shorthaired pointer and Hungarian viszla duo in town, know a good sunbeam when they see one. And lucky for them, their Aussie parents couldn’t pass up a pair of super-stylish coordinating collars to complete this picture-perfect scene. Whether you’re decking out a duo or simply grabbing a solo collar for your trusty sidekick, personalized dog collars are a paws-itively perfect choice.

Clever kitty furniture

Let’s be honest, we all know cats are the ones who run the show at home so it’s only natural they should have their very own set of cat furniture. Bengal siblings Nala and Otto stay entertained (and off the people furniture) thanks to their wall-mounted system of shelves, sisal sticks, and hammocks designed for afternoon cat naps and feisty frolics.

Tasty treats

Who’s a good boy? Rat terrier Nick, for one. That’s why he gets plenty of homemade, heart-shaped dog treats baked from all-natural ingredients. From puppies to seasoned sidekicks, homemade dog treats are always a beloved pet gift.

Catnip-stuffed toys

Want a gift that’s the cat’s meow? Handcrafted cat toys are some of the cutest playthings around. This sweet puss is named Tortellini—so it’s only fitting his favorite toy is also straight out of the kitchen.

Adorable knit snoods

Those cool morning walks can be ruff. Armed with a cozy knit fox snood, French bulldog Hans believes it’s always a good time to play dress-up—especially when you want to make your humans smile.

Personalized dinner bowls

On the off-chance collie Harley forgets which bowl is his come dinner time, a dignified raised dining station emblazoned with a fancy monogram serves as a helpful reminder. Make mealtime more special for your four-legged friends with personalized pet bowls.

A custom pet portrait

OK, fine, maybe it’s a little bit more of a present for you, but a personalized portrait that pays tribute to your favorite furry face is never the wrong call for anyone. Just ask Jack Russell Izzy. She gave it two paws up!
