Most of us like dogs (and if you don’t we don’t think we can trust you) but we all have that one friend who takes his or her love for pups to the extreme. This person likely owns a pooch and treats it like a baby. The dog’s bed is probably comfier than your own and his or her diet is definitely healthier. For this holiday season, we’ve rounded up a list of eight gift ideas that are perfect for every type of dog lover in your life. Even if that dog lover doesn’t actually own a pup.

The t-shirt comes in multiple colors, so you’ll be sure to find one that goes with your friends’ unique style.

2. For the career-driven pawrent — “I Work Hard So My Dog Can Have A Better Life” Mug

Perfect for those pawrents who work extra hard to buy treats and toys for their pup. Gift this mug to that friend who spends much of his or her income spoiling their dog rotten.

If both dog and owner can rarely sit still and they’re always out climbing something or going on some excursion, this is the gift for them. This travel bag is perfect for storing essential items for their next adventure. It includes a water bottle and a collapsible dog bowl so that both human and pup can stay hydrated. It’s not too big or bulky, so it won’t be a pain to carry even on longer hikes.

4. For the one with a sense of humor — DearMy Dog Socks

No one can ever have too many socks. Gift these to your dog-loving pal who’s a fan of a good gag gift that still proves useful.

Each pair depicts a different dog breed, so you can choose one that looks just like your friend’s pup.

5. For the one who loves cooking almost as much as dogs —Silicone Dog Paw and Bone Molds

They’ll be able to make sure that their dogs are only eating the highest-quality ingredients with no harmful additives.

6. For the one who has rescued more than one pupper — “Rescued Is My Favorite Breed” Candle
