PDX Pet Connection Holiday Gift Guide - Services/Experiences Edition

A curated gift guide for dogs and the people that love them

Happy Holidays from PDX Pet Connection! It's Kim, creator and host of the podcast. I support local and small businesses whenever possible and I feel this is important now more than ever before. I have curated a list of businesses from the Pacific Northwest to give you some gift ideas for the holiday season. I have picked one, maybe two items from each business, but they offer a lot more than I could possibly list here, so be sure and check out their whole website for even more gift ideas.


Each item is listed with the following information:

What the service is.

Who provides the service.

Why I selected this service.

Where you can purchase the services..

How much you can expect to spend.


The list is going to be broken down into four blog posts and includes items to buy your furry best friend followed by items for people who love dogs. Finally, I am including experiences for your dog and great organizations where you can give the gift of a donation.


The list is also split into categories Food/Treats, Dog Accessories, Toys, Home Decor, Art, Books, Jewelry, Co-worker/Stocking Stuffers, Experiences and Donations


Note: This is a condensed version of the original list. I had some experiences that you could share with your dog, but due to the pandemic I am not sure when we will be able to enjoy those experiences.


Let the pampering begin!
