The Be More Bob Christmas Gift Guide for Small Dogs
Little dogs. Big Christmas energy.
Thoughtful Christmas gifts for Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, Jack Russells, Poms, Maltese Terriers, Miniature Schnauzers and all our other small-but-mighty pals.
Hello, pals!
Just because you're little doesn't mean you don't deserve a BIG Christmas. In fact, we reckon small dogs have some of the biggest personalities around. From the tiniest Chihuahua with main-character energy to the Dachshund who believes the whole sofa belongs to them, our little pals deserve something rather special under the tree.
Here at Be More Bob, we've sniffed out a collection of festive goodies and everyday favourites to make Christmas magical for smaller dogs. Think small natural treats, exciting toys, cosy winter walk essentials and exclusive Christmas gifts, all carefully chosen by people who really do love dogs.
Whether you're shopping for your own little best friend or looking for a present for someone else's precious pooch, here's our guide to finding something they'll love.
1. Festive treats for little foodies
For the dog who believes Christmas dinner should be served at least six times.
Christmas is all about the treats, and our four-legged friends shouldn't miss out. From festive biscuits to natural meaty morsels, there's plenty to make little tails wag.
For smaller dogs, we love choosing treats that can be broken into little pieces, making them perfect for rewarding good behaviour, practising tricks or simply saying, "You're a very good dog and we love you."
Innocent Hound training treats are cute little triangles in soft yummy flavours. Made in Yorkshire, these 100% natural noms are perfect for little dogs!

Bob's tip: Little dogs don't need enormous treats to feel thoroughly spoilt. Choose a suitable size for your dog, introduce new treats gradually and remember to account for treats in their daily food allowance.
2. Christmas toys for little characters
For the tiny terrier, the enthusiastic squeaker hunter and the champion of the living-room zoomies.
Every dog deserves something fun to unwrap. A new toy is a brilliant way to bring a little extra excitement to Christmas morning, whether your dog loves a game of fetch, a squeaky companion or a toy to carry proudly from room to room.
Our everyday toy collection includes options from trusted brands such as KONG, Tuffy and Green & Wilds. You can also browse our festive toys for something with a little extra Christmas spirit.
When shopping for small breeds, look for toys that are easy to carry, comfortable to play with and appropriately sized. A toy that's too large may not be much fun, while one that's too small can present a swallowing risk.
Bob's tip: Match the toy to your dog's play style, not just their size. A little dog can still be a mighty chewer!

3. Exclusive Christmas bundles
The easy way to put a little extra magic under the tree.
Want to give a brilliant gift without spending hours trying to decide what goes with what? Our exclusive Be More Bob Christmas bundles bring together carefully selected goodies to make festive gifting easy.
They're a lovely choice for friends, family, fellow dog lovers or anyone who wants to give their little pal something more exciting than another pair of socks.
Choose a bundle that suits your budget and your recipient's dog, or use our Christmas collection to build your own combination of festive treats, toys and accessories.
Bob's tip: A few thoughtfully chosen smaller items can make a wonderful gift. Add a festive treat, a toy and an everyday favourite for a present with plenty of personality.

4. Winter coats and cosy walking essentials
For little legs, chilly mornings and big outdoor adventures.
Small dogs can be particularly sensitive to cold weather, depending on their breed, coat, age and individual needs. A suitable coat can help keep your pal comfortable on winter walks, countryside adventures and those quick trips outside on frosty mornings.
At Be More Bob, we believe practical kit can look good, too. Explore our selection of quality dog apparel and walking equipment, including trusted Ruffwear products, to find the right fit for your little adventurer.
For breeds with long backs, unusual proportions or deep chests, it's especially important to check measurements rather than relying on breed names alone.
Bob's tip: Measure carefully and check that your dog's coat allows them to walk, run and toilet comfortably. If you're unsure about sizing, ask us for a paw!

5. Natural chews for peaceful festive moments
Because even the busiest little dog needs a bit of downtime.
Christmas can be exciting, with visitors, wrapping paper, new smells and plenty happening around the house. A suitable chew can provide an enjoyable activity and help keep your dog occupied while the humans get on with Christmas dinner.
We stock a carefully selected range of natural chews, including options from JR Pet and Earth Animal. For smaller breeds, look for appropriately sized products and softer options where suitable for your dog's chewing ability.
Always supervise your dog with chews, select the correct size and remove any piece that becomes small enough to swallow. No chew is suitable for every dog.
Bob's tip: If you're buying for a dog with a sensitive tummy, allergies or a special diet, check the ingredients first. Our range includes different proteins and options to help you find something that suits your pal.

6. A first Christmas for puppies
Tiny paws, enormous adventures and a whole lot to discover.
Shopping for a puppy's first Christmas? How exciting!
For young dogs, we'd focus on age-appropriate toys, little training rewards, suitable chews and useful everyday essentials. These are gifts that can help make the festive season fun while supporting all the learning and exploring that comes with puppyhood.
Choose toys designed for your puppy's age and chewing stage, and remember that growing pups may need their equipment replaced as they get bigger.
Our puppy range includes toys and carefully selected products to help make those early adventures a little easier.
Bob's tip: Puppies explore with their mouths, so supervise play and choose toys and chews carefully. Keep decorations, ribbons, batteries, chocolate and other festive hazards well out of reach.

7. Everyday favourites that make brilliant Christmas gifts
Not every present needs tinsel on it.
Sometimes the best gifts are the things dogs use and love all year round. If you'd rather give something practical that will be enjoyed long after the Christmas tree comes down, we've plenty of ideas.
- A new harness or lead: For safer, more comfortable everyday walks and adventures together.
- A favourite toy: Something for games, enrichment or a little indoor entertainment on rainy days.
- Natural treats: Ideal for training, rewarding good behaviour or adding a little joy to an ordinary Tuesday.
- A cosy bed or blanket: A welcoming spot for a well-earned snooze after a busy day.
- A feeding or enrichment accessory: A practical present for dogs who love mealtimes and activities that keep their minds busy.
At Be More Bob, we choose products because we believe they have a purpose, whether that's comfort, enrichment, quality or simply making life with dogs more enjoyable.

8. Make a little dog's Christmas BIG
The best gifts aren't necessarily the biggest or the most expensive. They're the ones that suit the dog receiving them.
A tiny dog with a huge personality might adore a squeaky toy. A thoughtful little foodie might prefer a selection of natural treats. And an adventurous soul might be happiest with a new bit of walking kit and a whole day out with their favourite human.
That's what Be More Bob is all about: choosing good-quality products, enjoying the little things and making more of every day with the dogs we love.
So, whether you're shopping for a Dachshund, Chihuahua, Toy Poodle, Yorkshire Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer or any other small-breed superstar, we hope you'll find something to make their Christmas special.
Merry Woofmas, pals!
Love, Bob, Dolly and the Be More Bob family x
