Xmas gift ideas for dog lovers and dogs 2018
Christmas is (nearly) here! The New Zealand summer feels like it is in full swing and I know instead of combing the shops in the mall, you'd much rather be enjoying your time chillaxing in the shade with a BBQ or sipping something cold on the beach.
As a pet photographer over the last 2 years in Auckland’s doggy industry, I've met and come in contact with great New Zealand brands who supply dog products / services who I think you should know about, and best of all, any of these from the list of gift ideas for dogs and dog lovers, you'll be able to buy online and be sorted for Christmas.
In no specific order, here is the Yellow Lab gift guide 2018, gift ideas for dogs and dog lovers in Auckland New Zealand.
Mr Soft Top
Mr Soft Top has been making luxury dog wear in New Zealand since 2007. With a focus on high quality wool and cotton fibres and fabrics your pup will be looking super stylish all year round.
Pawtraits in Pencil
Alison from Pawtraits in Pencil can capture the real character, likeness and personality of your furry buddy any size in whatever way suits you, with any animal. This beautiful, life-like drawing is done with graphite or coloured pencils on high quality archival paper,
to keep your pets close forever.

Visit Bopad for beautiful contemporary pet bedding and accessories. All their products are lovingly handcrafted and 100% made in New Zealand. If you’re looking for a handmade plush and durable, completely machine washable dog bed, shop here.
They also have a fabulous range of dog collars in leather, cotton cord macrame and fabric and can custom make to fit any stylish canine fur baby.
Barkbag
Barkbag is a subscription box for your dog. Every Barkbag is different and packed specially for your dog with their preference profile in mind from a selection of NZ made treats and high quality toys. They are gift wrapped and delivered straight to your door to put under the tree ready for Christmas morning. This year, they're helping spread the cheer; for every Bag sent out they will donate a meal to a rescue pup in need.
Yellow Lab Pet Photography
If you're looking for pet photography to celebrate the special bond between you and your dog, or perhaps you're a mom looking to buy something really special for your daughter, or considering purchasing this for your partner, have a look at Yellow Lab Christmas specials. The photo session includes professional hair and makeup on the day so she will look just gorgeous sharing the spotlight with her doggy best friend. Auckland only.
BONUS: If you buy the photoshoot before 21 December, you’ll receive a doggy Christmas card to put under the tree. All you need to do is sign and write your special message inside. After 21 Dec, receive an email to print and put into your own envelope.
Happy Christmas shopping friends!
