Here are some ideas to help you get started on homemade holiday gifts for your canine friends:

• Home made dog treats (of course!). Use your dog's favorite flavorings—peanut butter, cheese, anise, etc.
• Dog muffins or a small dog cake
• Hand sewn jacket or sweater for your favorite pet
• Pet gift basket with goodies that your purchase or make yourself
• Throw a holiday pet party . Invite his favorite people and dogs.
• Make a home made pet pillow or dog bed
• Hand made stuffed toy for your dog or puppy
• Make a special outfit or costume for your dog's holiday
• Personalized ceramic food and water bowls (that you make yourself)
• Sew a mat to place under your pet's food and water bowls. Make it from fabrics that can be thrown into the washer and dryer. Personalize the mat.
• Sew a condo, tent or cave for your dog. Dogs are cave animals and like cozy places to retreat to. There are patterns for “caves” in the craft section of pattern books. They're not difficult.
• Tennis ball in a sock. Tie a knot and you have an instant throw toy. Use a clean sock without a partner, and the toy is almost free!
• Braided toy. Use heavy rope or just use a piece of heavy fabric (even an old T shirt will do) to form a braid. Your dog will spend hours chewing happily on his new toy.
