Our Picks of the Best Easter Dog Gift
1. Dog-Friendly Easter Egg
Rosewood
Let your dog enjoy a traditional tasty treat with the rest of the family this Easter.
Rosewood's popular Easter Egg for Dogs is made with carob, the dog-friendly alternative to chocolate. It's also a wheat and gluten free recipe so an ideal treat for those dogs with sensitive stomachs.
As human chocolate is poisonous to dogs, this carob egg is the perfect dog safe treat option this Easter.
Beautifully presented in traditional foil. Available on Amazon, alternatively Pets at Home offer a range of Dog Easter Eggs - if you need a last minute pup gift !
2. Carrot Snuffle Dog Toy
HICAS
Our first Easter dog gift idea is this adorable snuffle garden from HICAS. A very engaging hide-and-seek puzzle toy, there are a total of 12 miniature carrots to retrieve from the field. A simple but engaging boredom buster.
Entice your dog further by placing small treats in the holes before replacing the carrots. The garden measures 35cm x 35cm so is suitable for most breeds.
Whilst this toy will stand up to repeated play, we would suggest monitoring play and we wouldn't recommend it for aggressive chewers.
3. Dog Treat Box
Fetch Club
If you are looking for something great value and highly nutritious, without all the nasties which you normally find in supermarket treats, natural dog treats are a great option.
Not only are they a healthier alternative for our dogs but they taste better too. As they are dried, they have the benefit of being convenient with a long shelf life, without compromising on the health benefits.
Importantly, the Fetch Club range is sourced from UK suppliers and includes some familiar favourites such as yak bars and pigs ears alongside some more unusual offerings like ducks feet and rabbit ears.
If you fancy dipping your toe in the water but are unsure what to choose, a perfect place to start is their mixed treat boxes which include a handpicked variety of treats.
Fetch Club offer three sizes of treat box - Mini, Midi and Maxi and they are available as a one-off purchase or on subscription (with a 15% saving).
Fetch Club can offer 10% OFF - use discount code SMARTBARK at checkout

4. Easter Mini Iced Trios
Barking Bakery
We simply adore these mini-iced, handmade 'Woofins' from The Barking Bakery. They're the perfect Spring themed treats for dogs.
The Barking Bakery sell their range to major pet outlets including Pets at Home, Ocado and The Range but you can also buy them from the comfort of your sofa direct from Barking Bakery.
Their Easter range includes these adorable Woofins decorated with their famous yoghurt topping and finished with a crunchy doggy bone biscuit.
We also love that they are packaged in a super clean, food grade pod that is 100% recyclable and made with 80% minimum recycled plastic.
It's worth mentioning that they have a long shelf life : 9-12 months if kept in their protective packaging in a cool, dry place.
Amazon also stock a range of Barking Bakery products
5. Meaty Bites
Pooch & Mutt Easter Treats
These limited edition meaty treats from Pooch & Mutt are perfect for hosting your very own canine Easter egg hunt. The recipe includes lamb (obviously - it's Easter!), chicken and spring greens.
These cute little shaped treats are not simply yummy treats, they are formulated with probiotics targeting important areas of canine health.
We love the unusual combination of ingredients and the fact that they include probiotics ticks a lot of boxes.
Perfect for dogs and puppies with sensitive tummies, they're formulated with no added artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, with no gluten, beef, soy, dairy and non-GM produce.

6. Easter Egg Hunt Treats
ParkLife
For hours of fun this Easter, how about an Easter Egg Hunt ?
You may have seen Park Life's Richard and the gorgeous Penny featuring on Dragons Den. Their range of grain free, 100% natural treat range was a big hit with the Dragons and dog lovers everywhere.
Easter-Bix are limited edition treats and come in the shape of small Easter Eggs made with carob instead of chocolate.
Soft and chewy rather than crunchy biscuits, there's lots in a bag and you could easily snap them in two for smaller treats.
On the other hand, you could make your own Easter dog treats. Theyâre simple to make, healthy and delicious - Easy Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
7. Jolly Egg Tough Dog Toy
Jolly Pets
Dogs donât need to be big or powerful to destroy their toys. Aggressive chewers can leave an unsuspecting dog toy completely mangled in minutes if they put their mind to it.
So if you're looking for a tough toy that can withstand some heavy play and is actually fun, take a look at The Jolly Egg.
Made in the USA, this oval shaped toy is designed to constantly and erratically move, so your dog can never quite get a grip but loves to chase it.
Since the toy constantly escapes your dog, it gives your dog a safe, fun outlet for their prey instinct. Available in red or yellow in two sizes.
Dimensions : Small 20cm or Large 30cm

8. Fun Easter Dog Toys
OVO Eggs for Dogs
Extremely popular and very cute, OVO eggs make an ideal Easter gift.
They are available in a range of sizes to suit most breeds and are handmade from 100% natural rubber and hand painted with permanent food grade dyes.
Soft, weather-proof and fairly tough, these eggs for dogs even come with a gentle squeak to keep them entertained whilst you eat your Easter eggs.
Ideal for teething puppies and small to medium dogs in a set of six or available individually for larger dogs.
9. Plush Dog Toy
Kong Squeaky Dog Toy
This gorgeous yellow duck soft toy is an ideal gift for that dog or puppy in your life this Easter.
From the well known Kong range of dog toys, this particular toy is small, measuring 9.5 cm x 6.5cm and has no filling so it's an ideal soft toy for puppies.
The duck should easily catch your dog's attention with a squeaker hidden inside. We love that it comes with a second replacement squeaker.
It's worth noting that although it's super soft it's more durable than the standard soft dog toy.
Probably not recommended if you have an aggressive chewer in the house and as with all dog toys, monitor their play and remove if it becomes damaged.
10. Dog Chew Toy
Bamboodles
Admittedly they are not Easter themed, but we wanted to include a chew toy suitable for those aggressive chewers out there.
Bamboodles chew toy range are incredibly tough and durable. They offer 'T' shaped and 'Y' shaped chews suitable for all breeds and sizes of dog. The 'T' shape has been designed those more aggressive chewers out there and receives rave reviews from dog lovers.
Cleverly, the base is shaped to help your pup grasp the chew between their paws keeping it stable whilst they chew. The range includes beef, chicken and peanut butter flavours.
Crafted from natural bamboo fibre combined with nylon fibres to create a long-lasting durable chew it's available in three sizes.

Dogs & Chocolate
Lastly, and we would be totally remiss not to mention it, can we just offer some advice on dogs and chocolate.
According to data from the Kennel Club, incidents of canine chocolate poisoning more than double over the Easter period when compared with other months even Christmas.
So what should you do if you find that your four-legged friend has woofed down some Easter chocolate?
Our advice would be identify some important information before phoning the vets to help them assess the situation -
đ« Exactly what type of chocolate did they consume ? Ideally grab the wrapper with the ingredient list.
đ« How much did they consume ? - Are we talking one Cadburys Mini Egg or five bags of Mini Eggs ?
If your dog has recently eaten a potentially harmful dose of chocolate the vet is likely to make your dog vomit, but in more serious cases other treatments might be needed such as activated charcoal. Some dogs might also need intravenous fluids and monitoring.
