Brunch, perfume, cards and flowers are nice, but SO unoriginal, and they don’t apply to the best furry friend of the dog mom in your life. If you really want to make an impression, why not give her something both she and her pup can enjoy together?
As a dedicated dog mom, I can tell you it moves me to the core when someone recognizes my bond with my beautiful fluffy boy. And my mom feels the same way about her silky, coco-colored girl. When I give Mom any of the Dog Mothers Day gifts on this list, she will be thrilled.
Also, consider the sweet female in your life who doesn’t have any two-legged children of her own, but dotes on her doggy. You can bet she’ll feel melancholy on Mother’s Day, and a small token from you is just what she needs to brighten her day/month/ year.
Then there’s that hard-to-please mother-in-law, who never seems to share your taste in anything other than her dog. Get her something she and her pup can enjoy together, and she will absolutely melt and declare you her favorite. I kid you not—I’ve seen it work!
There’s a little something for every dog mom below, at a great range of prices. Take a look:
Dog Mom Gift Guide for Mothers Day
Arden Cove walking bag
Relieve her of that worn out fanny pack, or the backpack with faded, fraying straps. The dog mom in your life will be the chicest girl in the park with this stylish, weather resistant, crossbody bag from Arden Cove.
With plenty of space for treats bags, keys, phone, gloves, pepper spray, what have you, she’ll have everything she needs, all in one place, when it’s time for walkies. And if she wants to stop for coffee, there’s also organized space for cash and credit cards, which can be snuggled in RFID-Blocking slots.
All this, and the lovely material allows for wiping those nose, paw and slobber prints right off!
By the way, this bag is also ideal for travel. It has slash-proof lining all around and locking zippers, and is just the right size for carrying close to the body, not allowing any stray hands to reach in, and not doing damage to her shoulder. She’ll be grateful to you not only when she’s going for a walk nearby, but when she’s traveling afar as well!
For teeth, eyes and relaxation
For the dog mom; a simple, microwavable heated eye mask for ultimate relaxation, as well as relief from dry eyes and MGD, Blepharitis and Chalazion (eyelid cysts). I prefer the simple kind of mask, without plug-ins or batteries, because it’s difficult for me to destress when there’s too much technology involved.
She can pop it into the microwave for a mere 22 seconds, then place it over the eyes for around 10 minutes while resting on the back, and she’ll feel like a new woman. $17.50 at Amazon.
Meanwhile, to keep the fur baby busy and distracted while she’s relaxing, long lasting dog treats from Natural Farms are ideal. My pup recommends the long lasting Odor Free Bully Sticks ($24.99 at Amazon), the Beef Chewy Sticks with Collagen ($17.99 at Amazon) , and the All-Natural Dental Chews, which contain collagen and vitamin C ($16.19 at Amazon).
All Natural Farms products are totally green and mess free. Even the bags are made of sugar cane!
Excalibur Dehydrator for mom/dog treats
Here’s something I bet she never thought of — an Excalibur Dehydrator that can whip up healthy jerky treats for Spot, and dried fruits, veggies, flowers, etc. for her (and maybe you?).
We’re all looking for ways to cut down on foods laden with chemicals and preservatives, for our pets as well as ourselves. Preserving them via dehydration is the perfect way to do this. This one comes with eight chrome trays, offers 7.2 square feet of drying space.
Sleek and durable, the glass doors let you monitor drying progress without opening the unit and peeking. This preserves the heat and moisture levels for perfect results every time.
Preparing super healthy, one ingredient snacks couldn’t be any simpler. If the dog mom is into long walks or hikes, dehydrated treats for both mom and mutt are essential.
The world’s most comfortable yoga pants
These soft, timeless “harem pants” are consummately comfy, come in a variety of colors and patterns, and expand or contract with you. On top of that, they have a side pocket for doggie treats, so everyone wins!
By the way, they’re also perfect for travel since they never wrinkle, and the high-wasted design covers up everything you don’t want showing. I have a half-dozen colorful pairs. Winter, spring summer and fall, they’re my most comfortable and complimented go-to’s.
Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle Blanket
Cozy Earth products are among Oprah’s favorite things — have been for years. I own their sheets and towels, but my new obsession is this cozy throw, perfect for snuggling on the couch with a four-legged friend. This ultra plush, ultra warm throw offers a combination of comfort and style, with its distinctively textured bubble design intricately woven from ultra-soft fibers. It can be used on a couch or bed, making any surface instantly dog friendly.
For little guys, there’s a 60″ x 50″ option, and for the larger ones there’s an oversized option that measures 80″ x 60″ inches. And joy of joys, it’s available in three colors, walnut, light gray and cream, so it will match any room.
The regular size is currently on sale for $191.25, and the splurgy, oversized model is on sale for $228.75. Find both at Cozy Earth.
Yukon Design Dog Mom wooden puzzle sculptures
These “Handmade Pawfect Carvings” celebrate the love, joy and loyalty our furry friends bring us. There are several different sizes, shapes, etc., with different types of dogs. And don’t tell your pooch, but they also have them with bunnies, birds, and, ahem, cats.
Handmade from premium beech and walnut wood, they’ll go with just about any type of decor. It’s a thoughtful gift that won’t break the bank.
Now on sale, prices range from 22.95 to $26.95. Find them at the Yukon Design Studio.
Matching Crocs
Most people know how comfortable Crocs are, and if the Mother of Dogs in your life doesn’t, she will be forever grateful to you for introducing them to her.
But what many don’t know is that there are also comfortable Croc-like shows for dogs, that are infinitely easier to put on and stay on than the brands that are like socks with rubber souls and lots of velcro straps.
Whether she wants to keep her pup’s feet cool in the summer or warm in the winter, these little guys will do the jobs, and like the human models, come in a bazillion colors.
For women: 44.97 at Amazon For dogs: 34.99 at Amazon
