Dog Meets Baby Holiday Gift Guide

Nov 14, 2022

I bought my Mom a robotic vacuum (Roomba) for Christmas a few years ago. The following year I bought her a stand-alone mixer. To this day, she talks about those two presents because they made her daily life EASIER.

Dog hair everywhere, dog barking, the guilt because you don't have time for your dog anymore.

I am a much happier mom when the robotic vacuum cleans my house, the dog's barking doesn't wake up the kid (white noise machine!), and my dog just spent 30 minutes working on her meal offered in a snuffle mat.

This gift guide is meant to be practical and make your life EASIER.

If you are tracking Black Friday deals, add the products you like from the Gift Guide to your list. You can find more products I, my clients, and Dog Meets Community like and recommend in the Dog Meets Baby Amazon Store.

For your baby, your dog, and you

Bringing home a baby is a big change for a dog.

The new sounds, smells, baby items, change of routines, and the actual baby, can be hard on many dogs. And your dog's reaction to all the changes can be hard on you, the new parent.

Life with a well-trained dog and a newborn is so much easier. Knowing your dog is prepared to meet your baby is priceless.

That's why the Dog Meets Baby courses offer expert, step-by-step, guidance to help you train, prepare and introduce your dog to your little one.

Dog Meets Baby courses:

The Mini Course How to safely introduce your baby to your dog the right way
The Preparation Course How to best prepare and train your dog before the arrival of your baby
The Bundle The Mini and Preparation Course
