client gifts for dog owners, 2026
Year-end and closing gifts for clients with a dog, from a $50 Michael Aram frame ornament to a $1,000 Hermès collar, with honest notes and checked prices.

A gift for a client's dog is remembered longer than another bottle of wine. This guide is for realtors, advisers, law and accounting firms choosing year-end or closing gifts for clients who have a dog. Every piece is in the wagl edit and sold by the house or retailer named. Prices are in USD; the date each was checked is given beside it.

how to choose
- choose for the house, not the dog: a bowl, frame or canister that sits well in a kitchen or hall gets kept.
- avoid sizing where you can. Collars and coats need a neck or back measurement; bowls, frames and blankets do not.
- one considered piece beats a basket. Add a card in your own words.
under $150
dog bone frame ornament, $50
A miniature nickel-plated frame of sculpted bones, hung from a black ribbon for the tree; it holds a 2 by 3 inch photo. Checked 27 October 2026 at michaelaram.com.
Honest note: the photo is small, so it works best with a client's own picture of the dog printed to fit.

A standard 4 x 6 frame trimmed with the same bone motif, for the photo from moving day. Checked 27 October 2026.

pagerie dog bag pochette, $152
A zipped saddle-leather pochette from Pagerie in Spain that keeps waste bags tucked away on a walk. Checked 8 October 2026 at Bergdorf Goodman.
