Valentine's Day Dog Gift Kit
Share
Most Valentine's shopping for a dog is really shopping for the person who owns the dog. That is fine, and it is worth being honest about, because it changes what belongs in the box. Here that means a pajama that comes in the dog's fit and a matching human one, a velvet bow that slides onto the collar the dog already wears, and two bags from our kitchen so the dog gets something out of the evening as well.
The dog wears it, the photo is the gift
Good Thomas builds these sets dog first. Good Thomas describes the Be Mine Pajama as starting with the dog's set, a Valentine pajama in a light salmon and ivory stripe on a soft stretchy cotton blend, matched to the same print in adult and kid sizes. That ordering is the whole reason the set exists: the dog's piece is the one somebody actually wanted, and the human version is there so the picture works. Good Thomas says dog sizes run extra small for 5 to 10 pound dogs through medium for 17 to 28 pound dogs, and that adult sizes include men's extra large and extra extra large plus women's extra small, large and extra large. Choose the Fit option first on the listing, then the size, because the two size ranges live under one product.
Good Thomas items are sold and shipped by Good Thomas through Shopify Collective, not made or shipped by Sniff and Shift. If you are buying this as a present rather than for your own household, the dog lover gift kit covers the same buyer from the other direction, and the rest of them are indexed on the bundle guides hub.
The bow, for a dog that will not wear clothes
Some dogs put up with a pajama and some spend the evening reversing out of one. The bow is the version for the second dog. Pink Papyrus describes the Valentina Babe Bow as bubblegum pink velvet, plush yet durable, and says two elastic loops at the back slide it on securely. Elastic loops rather than a clip is the detail that matters, because it goes onto the collar already on the dog instead of needing a second piece of hardware. It comes in Small and Large.

What the dog actually gets
Pup-Ornaut banana peanut butter is our freeze-dried dog ice cream, and the ingredient line is nonfat Greek yogurt, banana and peanut butter made from dry roasted peanuts with sea salt. No freezer needed, which is the odd thing about it. A bag of this disappears in about a minute, which is the correct length for a present and the wrong length for an evening.
So the cheddar bites are the second half. One ingredient, cheddar cheese, in an eight ounce bag. Eight ounces of freeze-dried cheese is a lot of small pieces, and it is the bag most people end up using for training long after February. Our freeze-dried treats are made in small batches in Malvern, Pennsylvania and ship from us. If you want to see the range sorted by protein or format before choosing, Explore handles that, and the whole aisle is at freeze-dried treats.
What is not in the box
No heart shaped chocolate substitute and no plush. Every list under this search has a plush toy on it, and it is the item most likely to be in pieces by the eighteenth. There is also no bowl here, though the Lavender Heart Collapsible Bowl is the alternative in the drawer if you want one. Pink Papyrus describes it as a lavender silicone bowl that collapses flat for carrying and pops open for a snack or a sip on a walk or a drive.
Getting it on the dog
- Measure the dog's weight against the size chart on the pajama listing before you order, not after.
- Pick the Fit option, then the size. Repeat for the human set if you want both.
- On the night, lay the pajama on the floor and feed cheddar bites while the dog stands on it. Thirty seconds, no more.
- Front legs in, then fasten. Keep feeding through the fastening rather than after it.
- Bow onto the collar last, since it is the piece that takes two seconds and the dog notices least.
- Photos, then the ice cream, then take the pajama off.
Take clothing off a dog you are not watching. A pajama leg is a chew toy to the right dog, and a dog left dressed in an empty room will find that out before you do.
What this replaces
A card, a plush, and a separate order for the human half that turns up in a different print. Because both fits come off one listing here, the two pieces match properly rather than nearly. The two bags carry on being useful after the date has passed, which is more than most of this category manages.
Questions
Does the adult pajama actually match the dog one
Yes. Good Thomas prints the same design across the fits on a single listing, which is why the Fit option exists rather than there being two separate products.
My dog is 45 pounds, can I still do this
Not with the Be Mine pajama, which Good Thomas sizes to 28 pounds at medium. Use the bow in Large instead and put the human pajama with it.
Will the bow stay on through a walk
On a collar the dog is not scratching at, yes. Pink Papyrus describes the two elastic loops as holding it securely, and in practice the thing that dislodges it is another dog rather than movement.
