Welcome to Metropolitan Mama’s Christmas Gift Guide for Golden Retrievers. Below you will find dog beds, toys, leashes, collars, and other gear that Golden Retrievers (and their owners!) are bound to love for Christmas 2023.
Our family welcomed a golden retriever puppy into our home in 2020 and she is now three years old. She is a beauty - playful, friendly, and exactly as social as her breed is known for. She loves people of all ages and lives to be cuddled, scratched, and played with.
Christmas is the perfect time to surprise your golden with her favorite treats and an assortment of new toys! KONG is a brand that is well-known among dog owners and it's a great place to start shopping for the holidays.

Absolutely paw-fect for the holidays! Your dog will love chewing on this squeakable cherry pie plush toy by ZippyPaws. This 9 x 9 x 5 inch soft toy even features a lattice top and a playful dollop of whipped cream on top!
If you're looking for a dog collar that makes a sophisticated statement, peruse the plethora of designs at The Foggy Dog. With the Poppies Collar Walk Set, you can step out in style with a coordinating leash, collar, and waste bag dispenser.
PetFusion dubbed this "The Ultimate Pet Bed" - and it certainly lives up to its name! Constructed with memory foam, It's luxuriously soft. In fact, you'll wish YOUR bed felt like this one. It's also thoughtfully designed for easy care - the removable cover is water-resistant, tear-resistant, and machine-washable.
* The bed pictured above is size LARGE in Slate Gray. In the photo above, our golden retriever puppy was 3 1/2 months old. She is now 3 years old and still fits wonderfully in this bed.
If you have a baby, you are probably familiar with the California Baby line of skincare products. What you may not know is that they ALSO have a fur baby puppy wash and conditioner (both scented and unscented varieties), which are free of allergens and specifically pH balanced for pets.
