The 7 Best Dog Christmas Stockings of 2022

Best Overall

Pottery Barn Classic Velvet Bone Pet Stocking

View On Pottery Barn

The Classic Velvet Bone Stocking merrily brings together the definitive red shade of the season with an unmistakable dog bone shape to let everyone know this stocking is for the dog of the house (so stay away, Elf on the Shelf!). The velvet bone’s timeless design will have lasting appeal for holiday seasons to come. Plus, its spacious 16.5-by-11-inch design provides ample room for pupper presents.

The Classic Velvet Bone Pet Stocking is made from sustainably-sourced cotton that complies with standards set by the Better Cotton Initiative—an organization that has made efforts to improve labor conditions (but has also been credibly accused of greenwashing). The Velvet Bone Pet Stocking also has a polyester fill for a little extra structure and loft.

For an extra paw-sonal touch, you can have your dog’s name embroidered at the top, but it does cost a little extra.

Best Personalized

Frisco Paw Holiday Personalized Stocking

View On Chewy

Does your dog lock eyes with you at the mention of their name? Do they acknowledge the request for “shake” with a hearty paw-in-palm? Then this holiday season, try putting the “aw” in paw with a personalized stocking for your pet.

The Frisco Paw Holiday Personalized Stocking is a whimsically oversized paw that’s perfectly shaped for filling to the brim with treats and toys for any and all paw-giving pals. It comes in three holiday-hued velvet fabric combinations: white with blue plaid, red with solid white, and white with red plaid. Before it ships to your home, you can have your doggo’s name (or nickname!) embroidered in the thread color of your choice. Select up to nine characters, including spaces, to adorn the top, and get ready for your dog’s delightful reaction when they realize the stocking is full of presents from their paw-rent!

Mark & Graham Hand Hooked Pet Stockings

View On Markandgraham.com

The Mark & Graham Hand Hooked Pet Stocking has the traditional shape of a stocking with a nubby knit texture. They are handcrafted with a soft merino wool blend and a red cotton velveteen cuff, and there are four dog renderings to choose from. We feel that each option—Small White Dog, French Bulldog, Yellow Lab, and Chocolate Lab—can work for a variety of breeds and mixes. 

Each dog depicted has festive accessories for the wintertime and was designed by Vermont-based artist Laura Megroz. For an extra fee, the stocking can be personalized with your dog’s name embroidered on the cuff in the font of your choice. 

Here are a few types of dogs that we think align with the categories offered: 

Small White Dog: Coton de Tulear, Bichon Frise, Toy Poodle
French Bulldog: Pug mix, English Bulldog mix, Boston Terrier mix
Yellow Lab: Boerboel, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Labradoodle
Chocolate Lab: American Water Spaniel, Flat-Coated Retriever, Corgidor, Weimaraner

Best Colorful

More and Merrier Ornament Stocking

View On PETCO

A cheery canine that brightens your day all year long deserves a Christmas stocking that complements their vibrancy. The More and Merrier Ornament Stocking is made with a colorful ornament print from tip to toe that pops over the cream-colored base. The opening is wrapped in red faux fur with two pompom accessories dangling from a sewn-on loop to hang wherever you please with ease. The stocking incorporates shades of blue, yellow, green, red, pink, and gold, which is a refreshing break from the traditional color scheme of the holidays.

A common misconception about dogs is that they are colorblind, and while your dog can’t see all the same colors as you, they can distinguish shades of yellow, blue, brown, black, white, and gray, so we think they’ll appreciate the variety given to their stocking.
