Your pup has likely stuck it out with you through thick and thin. They’ve been right by your side to watch an endless stream of romcom reruns with you, helped you eat delicious vegan pizza straight out of the box, and they likely patiently sat with you through *all* of those Zoom calls.
And the only thing they asked for in return was a good ol’ belly rub—and some treats.
Celebrate the love you have for your most treasured partner: your dog, of course. (Sorry, boyfriend.) We’ve put together a list of some of the best vegan gifts for dogs.
And if you don’t have a beloved pooch to gift any of the cruelty-free treats from our roundup below—consider gifting one of them (or make a monetary donation) to a rescue shelter in your area.

Vegan Valentine’s Day Gifts for Dogs That You Can Make
If you don’t want to buy vegan Valentine’s Day gifts for dogs, try making one! There are a handful of kitchen gadgets that could make whipping up these delicious-looking treats (seriously, they look so good you just might wind up eating them yourself!) even easier.
A non-stick baking sheet is always useful. And for mixing all of the ingredients up, you might want to opt for a blender. Lastly, to cut the iconic dog bone shape to perfection, snag some of these dog bone cookie cutters.
A special note on peanut butter: A favorite flavor for many dogs, many of the below recipes call for peanut butter as an ingredient. However, just ensure the peanut butter you’re using does NOT contain xylitol. Xylitol is a naturally occurring alcohol that’s commonly found in plants. And, according to the VCA Animal Hospital, it’s “extremely” toxic to dogs. Even when consumed in small amounts, xylitol can cause hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, in dogs. This can result in liver failure, seizures, and even death.
Peanut Butter and Carrot Cookies
Nothing will send your pup’s tail wagging faster than a hunk of ooey-gooey peanut butter (the xylitol-free kind, of course!). These vegan peanut butter and carrot cookies are no exception. Their flavoring is made possible by a flavor-packed concoction, including maple syrup, applesauce, and oat flour. They’re so delicious-looking, your dog is sure to want seconds.

Vegan Pumpkin Dog Treats

Sweet Potato Dog Chews
If you don’t have extra cash on hand to purchase Davie’s sweet potato dog treats listed above, simply make your own! These easy-to-make dog chews can be whipped up using only one ingredient: sweet potatoes. Simply cut them into slices, arrange them on a baking sheet, and throw them in the oven for 2 ½ to 3 hours.
