If you have a friend with a canine companion, spread the love this holiday season by including their pup in the gift theme. While their dog may not understand the season, your dog loving friend will appreciate the sentiment and the practicality. We here at Intellipure have put together a few of our favorite gifts that include our furry family members.
Easy Clean Hair Brush
Not just any hair brush though, one that is designed to be easy-to-clean. There are many easy to clean pet brushes on the market, but most of them use a similar retracting bristle design. Once the brush gets clogged with fur, a simple push of a button or flip of a switch retracts the bristles, allowing the fur to just slide off.
Car Seat Cover
Most dogs love going for a ride in the car. But dog fur, claws, and dirt from the dog park can wreak havoc on car seats. That’s why a car seat cover is a great gift, especially if your friend is also a car lover. Most dog car seat covers are simple covers designed to protect both the upholstery and give the canine navigator a less slippery place to sit. You can go the extra mile and choose a waterproof seat cover if your friend loves to take their dog on adventures that attract especially bad messes.
Robot Vacuum
Nobody likes taking time out of their day to sweep and vacuum. If you are feeling a bit generous then a robot vacuum cleaner can make life a lot easier for the dog lover in your life. They can be programmed to run on a schedule or even connected to other smart home devices. It can be quite handy to simply say “Alexa, vacuum the kitchen” and set the little robot on its way. The only downside is it may take a few days for the family dog to not think its new robot pal is the enemy.
Air Purifier
Dog hair, dander and smells tend to linger in the air long after the pup has left the room. A high-quality air purifier with a VOC (volatile organic compound) filter will remove not only pet dander but also pet smells. The Intellipure Ultrafine 468 uses a six-stage VOC adsorption filter to remove harmful gases and odors. Third-party testing of the Intellipure Compact showed a 53% VOC reduction* in just 60 minutes. Intellipure's proprietary DFS technology uses electronically enhanced filtration to attract and capture ultrafine particles such as pet dander particles. Plus, healthier air is better for your friend and their pet. For best results pair an Ultrafine 468 in a main room with Compact units in smaller rooms (like bedrooms).
Travel Water Bowl
Humans can drink from bottles and straws no problem, but a dog’s options for grabbing a drink without making a mess are pretty limited. That’s why a collapsible travel water bowl is a great gift. Most travel water bowls are designed to accordion down flat for storage, then simply pop open for refreshment time.
Spare Dog Bed
More than likely your friend already has a dog bed, but another dog bed is always welcome. Having a spare means that pup still has a cozy place to sleep when one bed is being washed. Just keep the size of your friend’s dog in mind. While a Chihuahua can fit on a Golden Retriever size bed, it doesn’t work so well the other way around.
