Finding personalised Christmas gifts for dogs in South Africa is easy if you know where to stick your nose.
That’s where Valgray for Dogs comes in! We’re here to help you track down personalised gifts for extra good doggos to find on Christmas. Here are some dog gift ideas for the festive season:
1. PERSONALISED DOG GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS
If you’re gift shopping for a loved one or bestie with a fur-baby, we highly recommend you surprise them with a personalised dog gift for Christmas. Choosing a personalised gift for a dog and their owner shows you have put a lot of thought and effort into finding something just for them.
Remember we said finding personalised Christmas gifts for dogs in South Africa was easy? That’s because Valgray for Dogs makes it super easy! With every dog collar bought on our website, we offer free dog tag personalisation through laser engraving.
Literally, all you have to do is provide us with a few details, and we’ll laser-engrave your gift with the intended fur ball’s name and their parent’s contact details.
2. BEST CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR SMALL DOGS
When they’re extra small, they’re extra fab! And we’re sure you can agree that with all that sass and sweetness rolled into one, extra-small and small dogs need stylish accessories to match their BIG personalities.
Suitable for daily wear, odour-proof and extremely easy to clean, Valgray’s range of collars are an elegant Christmas gift for trendsetters and fashion-forward dogs.
Take a look at our range of extra-small and small dog collars with trendy matching tags here.
MATCHING DOG COLLAR AND LEASH SETS FOR LITTLE DOGGOS
A great gift idea for little dogs and owners who love walkies is a matching designer collar and lead set. A collar set saves pet parents from searching for a matching collar or leash in the new year and ensures they sniff and strut into the new year with style.

3. CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR BIG DOGS WHO DESERVE SOMETHING STYLISH
Don't worry, we didn't forget about the woofers and the big lap dogs. We believe medium and big dogs also deserve dazzling, designer accessories that are fashion-forward and a breeze to clean.
ELEGANT DOG COLLARS FOR MEDIUM AND LARGE DOGS
We all know, bigger doggos want to feel barking beautiful too! A designer dog collar with personalisation from Valgray is a fantastic gift idea for medium to extra-large dogs.
Bigger-boned dogs should enjoy the same luxury and elegance as little ones! That's why Valgray’s medium, large and extra-large collars offer functionality and style through sleek sports-grade PVC-coated nylon webbing collar straps, modern plated name tags and matching hardware.
Not to mention, they are odour-resistant, waterproof, slobber-proof and only need a bit of dishwashing liquid to clean, something every pooch parent will definitely appreciate.

MATCHING LEASHES AND COLLARS FOR MEDIUM AND BIG DOGS
Christmas shopping for a pet parent and doggo who really love getting out, having a zoomie session, playing ball, and, of course, engaging in some well-behaved butt-sniffing? A Valgray leash and collar set is a trendy yet practical gift idea.
Our matching collar and leash sets are latex-free, tear-resistant, resistant to sub-zero weather conditions, meaning they are fur-friendly and can keep any boisterous doggy tethered.

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT SIZE GIFT FOR DOGS
We can help you with selecting the right size dog gift too! With dog gifts for Christmas, or any occasion, the fit must be comfortable. Too tight, and your gift could chafe, causing skin irritation or even fur loss. Too loose, and the pooch could send your present flying during a scratch or lose it while bounding over to greet new friends.
Head over to the Valgray for Dogs Sizing Guide to learn how to safely measure and find the perfect size gift for any dog.

Helping doggos in need is a cause that’s really close to our heart, which is why we have a Valgray charity drive every year. Over the years we have been proud to donate much needed blankets and dog food to the incredible animal rescues you recommended, as well as gifting designer dog collar and leash sets to newly adopted pooches so they can start their new lives in style.
The festive season is upon us, and every pooch wants to stand out from the pack as the festivities roll in. Valgray luxury dog accessories, including premium collars and leashes, allow your pup to do just this.
Valgray is one of the few brands that caters for all dog sizes. From our extra-small collars for the truly tiny pooch to the extra-large collars for giant breeds, we go the extra mile to make sure your fur-babies can put their best paw forward.
It’s important to measure your pup’s neck to make sure your new collar will fit comfortably. Remember to include some space around the neck for your pooch’s safety and comfort. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to fit two or three fingers between the neck and collar.
Once you have your doggo’s measurements, check our sizing guide below for the best collar size.
DON'T HAVE A TAPE MEASURE?
No problem! You can use a variety of household items to safely measure your dog’s neck. See our guide here.

PERSONAL CUSTOMISATION
We try our best to cater to every breed, but some doggos might need a little extra at-home customisation to achieve the perfect fit. Making adjustments to our soft, PVC-coated nylon straps at home is easy. Simply use a standard leather punching tool to add additional holes, or use a utility knife to trim the length of your collar.
