🐾💑 Anniversary Gifts for Dog & Cat Parents (That Don’t Include More Treats)

For couples who treat their pets like their children, anniversaries are about more than just two people — it’s a celebration of their whole little family. So instead of another bouquet or box of chocolates, why not gift something that includes the one they cuddle the most: their furry companion?
Here are the best anniversary gift ideas for pet-loving couples, especially those who say “we” and mean themselves and their dog or cat.
🎁 1. Custom Couple + Pet Bobblehead Set
This one’s a show-stopper.
At Coupleofthings.net, we handcraft bobblehead figurines that feature:
-
The couple (custom pose, outfits, hairstyle)
-
Their dog or cat (any breed, any color)
-
Personalized base (with names, quotes, dates)
📌 You can recreate:
-
Their wedding photo — with their pet beside them
-
A casual pose with the pet in their arms or on a leash
-
A couch cuddle scene with everyone included
🛒 Perfect for: anniversaries, pet adoption milestones, or just because they deserve it.
🖼️ 2. Custom Family Portrait (With Pets Front & Center)
Skip traditional portraits — commission one that includes the couple and their pets in fun, stylized artwork:
-
Watercolor
-
Cartoon
-
Pop culture parody (e.g., Star Wars family, Disney characters)
📌 Bonus: Pair it with a matching bobblehead set for a 2D + 3D combo gift!
🐕 3. Matching Personalized Accessories
Think couple shirts or hoodies… and a matching bandana for the dog or bowtie for the cat.
You can also get:
-
Customized leashes and collars
-
Pet tags with the couple’s anniversary date
-
Human + pet bracelet and collar combos
🛋️ 4. Home Decor That Celebrates Their Pet Family
Make their house feel even more like a pet-lover’s home:
-
Custom throw pillow with couple + pet illustration
-
Framed “Pet Family Established [Year]” sign
-
Door mat that says “Home is where the paws are”
🐾 5. Pet DNA Portrait or Keepsake
Turn their dog or cat’s DNA traits (from a DNA test) into an art piece.
Alternatively, frame their paw prints or get them engraved into metal or acrylic.
🎁 Add a note like: “Because love has four paws too.”
🎂 6. Custom Cake Topper Featuring the Couple + Pet
Celebrating an anniversary party?
Add a custom clay cake topper that includes:
-
Bride & groom (or casual version of the couple)
-
Their furry best friend(s)
-
Text like “10 years & still paw-some”
Then move the topper to their shelf — instant keepsake.

They’ll smile every time they see it — and their pet will probably sniff it, too.
