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.

dog bone frame, 4 x 6, $105

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

Honest note: a standard size, so any print shop can fill it.

bone dog bowl, $130

Michael Aram's bowl with the bone motif, made in India. Checked 27 October 2026.

Honest note: a gift for the kitchen floor; check that the dog is not too large for it.

$150 to $300

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.

Honest note: useful rather than decorative, and best for a client who walks the dog themselves.

dog bone canister, $175

A lidded treat canister for the counter, from Michael Aram. Checked 27 October 2026.

Honest note: the most "for the house" piece here; it looks good with or without a dog.

wedgwood florentine turquoise pet bowl, large, $255

Wedgwood's Florentine pattern in fine bone china, made in England; also in fuchsia. Checked 27 October 2026 at wedgwood.com.

Honest note: bone china is for a calm dog on a hard floor, and best hand-washed.

from $1,000

hermès etrivière iii dog collar, $1,000

Natural bridle leather with a stirrup-leather buckle, made in France; the medal can be engraved. Checked 8 October 2026 at hermes.com.

Honest note: needs the dog's neck size, so it suits a client you know well, or a closing where you can ask.
