If our dogs could talk, they'd probably ask for more snuggles, play, and adventures with us.

We're guessing you're already getting the message loud and clear with strategically-timed body language if your dog is anything like our guy Barley. Obviously, these are all priceless gifts only you can give with your time and heart.

To help make your dog's wishlist happen, we've pulled together 10 great gifts that make it easier for you and your dog to do all the things together and live the life you both imagine.

Why choosing the right gifts for your dog matters

The right gift can launch your pup into a full body wag or create the intensely happy focus that comes with the perfect chew or soul-satisfying sniffy walk. Dogs instinctively thrive on mental and physical energy releases -- and connecting with you while they're at it.

With so many options out there, how do pet parents make the best gift choices for their individual dog? For starters, you know your dog. What makes your dog's heart sing? Maybe your dog is high energy and loves to hike, run, or play a vigorous game of fetch with you. Or for other dogs, maybe a slow, sensory sniffari walk or a self-soothing chew is more like it. For most of us as dog parents, we know that most dogs are thrilled with a healthy mix of it all.

Let's jump into how you can keep your pup healthy and happy with help from 10 of the best dog gift ideas:

The best gifts for staying healthy and ready to go

Whatever age your dog may be, every dog person wants their fur baby to be in the best of health to enjoy every day and every possible adventure to the fullest. Every dog lover knows the precious gift of health makes everything we hope for our dogs possible. In addition to clean, balanced nutrition and regular exercise, targeted supplements can fortify your pup to stay truly well.

Three favorites for mobility, calm, and overall health and vitality:

1) Mighty Joints hip and joint support chews

At every age and even more so for seniors, joints need certain nutrients to stay supple, flexible, and pain-free. That's why we formulated our joint support chews with vets to give your dog essential nutrients for mobility and strength including glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. They work synergistically to lubricate joints, support connective tissues, and promote overall joint health.

Your dog will love them as bacon-flavored treats while you're supporting your pup's active lifestyle with each chew!

2) Mighty Calm soothing, stress-support chews

Most dog lovers have felt the heartache of watching their dog suffer from stress and anxiety at the sight or sound of various triggers. It could be car rides, a vet visit, other dogs, or thunder and fireworks. Whatever the cause, if your dog experiences fearfulness and stress, we've been there and we know how much you want to make everything all right and help your dog feel calm. If that sounds like you and your dog, we created our Mighty Calm chews, formulated with vets using natural ingredients, with you in mind.

They're designed to harnesses the power of melatonin, chamomile, and L-tryptophan to promote relaxation and calm behavior so your pup can relax and get back to having fun and adventures with you.

3) Mighty Probiotic for a healthy gut and optimal overall health

Maximize your dog's absorption of all those nutrients you're delivering with each healthful meal with these probiotic chews formulated by veterinarians. As with all our supplements, your pup will be over the moon to be getting what tastes like bacon treats while you'll be giving your pup the fortifying gift of digestive and overall health.

The best gifts for energizing play and adventures

Whatever forms of exercise you and your dog love most together, having the right equipment makes it easier and safer to do. A well-exercised dog is a happier, healthier, calmer dog, and with every adventure large and small, you're building your bond with each other.

4) Extra-long leash for exploring, sniffari walks, and training

If you haven't tried a super-long leash with your dog, you're both in for a happy surprise. First of all, your dog will be ecstatic to experience the ultimate "off-leash" feel of a long leash (comes in either 15' or 30' lengths). You'll love being able to give your dog the exhilarating feeling of freedom while still keeping your pup safe and secure.

An extra-long leash allows your dog to wander and get the mental stimulation of exploring and sniffing freely. A long leash is also perfect for training -- for example, teaching your dog a reliable recall cue to come when called with safety during the learning process.

5) Comfortable, safe, sport harness

For all those adventures together, for every walk and run, a comfortable and safe harness is a must-have. Whether for high-energy dogs on a run/walk or slower-paced walkers on an exploratory stroll, a well-fitted, padded harness protects dogs' necks, evenly distributing any "pulling" weight across the shoulders and body. Our harness also has dual option clips for your leash so you can clip your leash on your dog's chest or back to make leash training easier depending on what works best for your pup.

Anytime your dog joins you for a walk or sports activity, you're keeping your pup comfortable, safe (from surprise collar escapes), and healthier with a sturdy harness protecting your pup's neck and throat.

And positive trainers swear by good harnesses for easy leash manners -- you'll be surprised how much more naturally in sync you and your dog are on walks together!

6) Durable, floatable frisbee

Dogs were born to fetch, play, and release physical energy to stay happy and fit. It's one of those hardwired instincts that keeps your dog balanced both physically and emotionally. What better gift for both of you to enjoy together than our soft yet durable frisbee, perfect for play on land or water?!

The best gifts for satisfying your dog's feel-good instincts

Ever wonder why dogs love to chew? It's a strong, feel-good instinct hardwired in our dogs. The act of chewing releases hormones in your dog's brain that relieve stress and anxiety. That's why chewing is a go-to self-soother for most dogs. A good, healthy chew has the added benefit of helping clean teeth and massage gums, promoting your dog's dental health. And importantly, dental health is closely linked to overall health.

7) All-natural yak cheese chews

Our yak chews are a great, natural way to keep your dog happily busy while helping clean your pup's teeth at the same time. They're long-lasting for hours of chewing action to give a healthy outlet for your dog's chewing instinct -- instead of your favorite shoes or those cute plush toys meant for cuddling. Made with only three natural ingredients (yak cheese and a touch of lime juice and salt to harden it), they help your pup release all those calming endorphins and relieve stress with every chew session.

8) Single-ingredient, 100% beef bully sticks

Made with one single ingredient— grass-fed, free-range beef —our bully sticks are natural, protein-rich snacks that are fully digestible and free from grains, gluten, chemicals, and preservatives. They're another long-lasting chew bringing your pup plenty of self-soothing chewing action while acting almost like a floss to help clean your dog's teeth and gums.

9) Meaty, all-natural cow kneecaps

100% natural cow kneecaps give your dog both a hard and soft chew. The meat attached to the kneecaps enhances chewing enjoyment, while the kneecaps themselves can be used as long-lasting chew bones for endless entertainment.

Sourced from grass-fed, free-range cattle, our cow kneecaps are grain-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, and chemical-free, so you know you're giving a high-nutritional value treat your dog will be crazy about.

10) Self-soothing lick pad

What's another instinctive self-soother that's a close cousin to chewing? Licking! That's why we created our lick pad to give your dog the calming benefits of licking while working a bit for treats and food.

And we added a feature that's most wanted by dog owners: our lick pad has suction cups on the back so it works anywhere -- a wall, the bath, or your floor. Meanwhile, you can groom your dog, clip nails, you name it, while your dog is obsessively licking peanut butter or whatever you've spread on the lick pad. (And btw, it's dishwasher safe for easy clean-up.)

Choosing the right gifts, whether they boost your pup's health, give your dog a good chew, or equip your dog for adventuring, can help give you both the best thing of all -- your fullest life together.
