[UPDATED APRIL 2021]

I am a proud dog mom myself, and with Mother’s Day just around the corner I thought I would pick out some of my favourite gifts for a dog mom.

Just because you are a mom to a four-legged fur child doesn’t mean you don’t deserve some recognition too. Being a dog mom is just as hard and challenging as being a mom to human kids. Some might even say that being a mom to a dog is harder and more challenging!

Dog moms are devoted to their pups like no other, they walk them, feed them, play with them, groom them, and love and cherish them. So why not show some appreciation to that special dog mom in your life, or if that happens to be you, spoil yourself with some of these great gift ideas that I have put together.

When Is Mother’s Day This Year, 2021?

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 9th, 2021. Just a couple of weeks away. Time to start planning! Dog mom gifts are of course perfect for Mother’s Day but they are welcome all year long.

10 Unique Etsy Gifts For A Dog Mom

All of these great gift ideas are from Etsy. If you are unfamiliar with Etsy, it is a great place to find one-of-a-kind unique items that are all handmade by independent sellers. When you shop on Etsy you are supporting these individual sellers who custom make your item on order and ship it out to you.

You can feel good about supporting small businesses during these challenging times.

Nothing Is Better Than Being A Dog Mom!

I have been a dog mom now for over 6 years, and I couldn’t imagine my life without my sweet Ellie. We are pretty much joined at the hip, where I go she goes.

All dog moms can relate to the wonderful feeling of having a dog greet you at the door, lift your mood when you’re feeling sad, and comforting you when you’re sick. These are just a few of the many rewards of being a dog mom.

Of course, it’s not all happy and fun times. There are many challenges and messy situations that go along with being a dog mom. You have to walk your dog rain or shine, clean up any messes, take them to the vet, cater to their every need, and plan your schedule around your dog.

Regardless of how many frustrating moments we may have with our dogs, it is completely worth it. Dogs give us an endless amount of love, cuddles, and loyalty!
