Don’t forget our furry family members this December.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a lifelong dog lover (and dog mom to 140-pound Irish Wolfhound Maisey and mischievous Golden Retriever Sami) it’s that our pups know how to take over the holidays. From stealing ornaments to photobombing family pictures, our four-legged family members bring joy to the season. That’s why I’m extra excited that this year’s Made in America Holiday Gift Guide features an entire lineup of incredible American-made pet products.
Below are a few of my favorite items that combine thoughtful design, real craftsmanship and the kind of durability that stands up to big dogs, energetic dogs and every kind of dog in between.
Barker Beds – The Orthopedic Dog Bed That Changed Snuggle Season in Our House
There are dog beds … and then there’s the Barker Bed.
Handcrafted in Streetsboro, Ohio, these orthopedic beds are made with high-quality American materials and backed by a clinical study for comfort and joint support. They’re not just soft — they’re smart. The supportive foam maintains its shape, eases pressure on joints and gives dogs of all sizes a truly restful retreat.
And in my home? This bed has officially become the kingdom of our enormous Irish Wolfhound, Maisey.
I’m not exaggerating when I say she melts into this bed. Whether she’s stretched out like royalty or curled up in a perfect brindle “cinnamon roll”, she’s never looked more content. We’ve gone through our share of dog beds over the years (big-dog parents know the struggle) but the Barker Bed is the first that stands up to real daily use while still looking stylish in any room in the house.
Cycle Dog – Eco-Friendly Gear for Dogs Who Love to Play
One of the most joyful additions to this year’s gift guide is Cycle Dog, a woman-owned company in Portland, Oregon, that turns recycled materials into durable, planet-friendly dog gear. Every collar, leash, toy and bed it makes helps keep bike tire inner tubes and plastic bottles out of landfills – and everything is done in the USA.
These toys are tough, the leashes last and the beds are beloved by dogs who think playtime should happen all day, every day (looking at you, Sami).
Cycle Dog products have this perfect mix of quality, sustainability and whimsy that makes t amazing gifts for any dog lover. Plus, supporting a company that supports American jobs and the environment feels especially meaningful this time of year!
The FRONT Harness – A Better (and More Comfortable) Walk Under the Tree
If you’re gifting something practical but still special, the FRONT Harness is a smart pick.
Made in the USA with durable construction and an adjustable, no-pull design, this harness is built for comfort and control – the kind that turns winter strolls, holiday lights walks and icy “we need to get energy out” adventures – into much smoother experiences. Even the packaging is American-made.
Whether you’ve got a dog who pulls like a freight train (hi, Maisey) or one who prances politely but still needs a secure fit, this harness delivers. It’s one of those gifts that both pets and humans appreciate.
Why Pet Gifts Matter in a Made in America Holiday Guide
Choosing American-made gifts for our pets isn’t just about cute holiday moments (though, let’s be honest, the photos alone make it worth it). It’s also about supporting the workers, small businesses and local manufacturers who keep our communities strong.
These companies are designing, crafting, sewing, shaping and assembling products with care and pride. When we choose Made in USA pet gifts, we’re choosing better quality, ethical production, longer-lasting gear and stronger local economies.
