Why Earth Rated Makes the Perfect Christmas Gifts for Dog Owners

When it comes to finding a great Christmas gift for dog parents, Earth Rated’s got you covered! With products that effortlessly combine both luxury and practicality, you can find the perfect Christmas gifts that all dog owners will love!


With many dogs having digestive issues and food allergies, gifting a bag of dog treats may not be the best option. Dog poop bags on the other hand will always be accepted with open arms! 


Myriam explains, “Poop bags are a daily necessity that every dog owner will appreciate and use regularly.”


Earth Rated’s poop bags aren’t just any old bags either! The thick durable material paired with the rich green color and extra long length will bring a sense of luxury to your friend’s poop scooping. Not to mention, the bags come in an ✨aesthetic ✨ box which gives that added look of quality. 


If you want to move beyond the basics, Earth Rated’s choice of materials in toys and grooming products give you the peace of mind that your friends’ dogs will be safe while they enjoy their gift. From stimulating treat dispensers to gentle grooming wipes, put together a bundle that both your friend and their dog will love!
