Gift guide
Gifts for a new puppy owner that last past the first month
When a friend brings home a puppy, most presents are chewed, outgrown or used up within weeks. This guide covers a few personalised gifts that are still in use a year later, and what to check before you order one from us.
Why a named gift suits a new puppy
The name is usually the first thing a new owner wants to tell you. A gift with that name on it marks the occasion, and if it’s something used every day, it doesn’t end up in a cupboard.
Ideas, with honest notes
- A named bowl they can grow into. Puppies get bigger, so think about the adult dog. The 32 oz bowl (about 946 ml, 17.2 cm wide, 8 cm high) suits a breed that will grow into a medium or large dog. The 18 oz bowl (about 532 ml, 12.5 cm wide, 7 cm high) suits small breeds. Both are stainless steel with an anti-slip rubber base. If you’re unsure, the size guide explains how to choose.
- A name print for the owner. The 21 × 30 cm typographic name print is for the wall rather than the floor, so it won’t be chewed. It is lettering only, not a photo or portrait.
Before you order
- Confirm the name and spelling. New owners sometimes change their minds in the first week. Because each piece is printed with the name you type, there are no change-of-mind returns, so it’s worth waiting until the name has stuck.
- Allow time. Everything is printed after you order and shipped by Printful, which we estimate at 1–3 weeks for bowls and 2–4 weeks for prints. We can’t promise a delivery date.
- Check where it’s going. We deliver within Australia only, with delivery included. Enter the new owner’s address at checkout to send it straight to them.
What we won’t claim
We’re not vets or trainers, so we won’t give feeding or training advice here. Ask the breeder, rescue or vet about how much a growing puppy should eat. We’re also a new shop with no reviews to show yet, and the photos with names on them are illustrative previews on Printful’s photos of the blank bowl.
