Hi, I’m Jenny, the owner and content creator of First Time Dog Mom. As the proud owner of Ellie, my senior Golden Retriever, I share the insights and tips I’ve learned through my own experiences as a dog mom. With a lifelong love of animals, I hope to be a helpful resource for others navigating the joys and challenges of pet parenthood.
I think all dog parents can agree that any gift that’s dog-related is a good gift! One day, a good friend of mine bought me a shirt that said “Dog dads do it best”
He bought me that shirt 8 years ago and I still have it, even though it doesn’t fit me anymore. It is my absolute favorite shirt.
Hi KD,
That’s great to hear that you’re still holding on to your favourite dog dad shirt! Seeing how Father’s Day is not that far away, maybe you’ll receive a new shirt!
Jenny.
These are some unique gifts for dog moms. I had to find a new home for my beloved pet due to living and health issues. It’s only been three days since my beloved Evee was placed in a new home and I miss her a lot. These gifts can still be bought for me as a dog lover or any other. Thanks for these ideas.
Hi Jannette,
Sorry to hear that you had to rehome your beloved Evee. I am sure that is one of the hardest things you had to do, however, you had Evee’s best interests at heart.
These gifts would certainly work for any dog mom or dog lover. I hope that in time, your hurt will start to heal and that you can feel good knowing that you did what was best for Evee.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Jenny.
This is an excellent post, it is full of great gift ideas for a fur mum.
There is certainly something there for everyone.
The dog shirts are really good. They would be a good present as although giving it to mom, the dog will get the benefit of it lol.
Thanks for bringing these great ideas to us.
Hi Geoff,
Thanks for stopping by. Yes, the dog shirts are great, many dog moms love to get gifts for their dogs, as they love to spoil them.
Take care,
Jenny.
Thank you, Jenny. This was certainly helpful. I found exactly what I was looking for. 🙂
Hi Codjoe,
Thanks for stopping by. I am so glad you were able to find something great!
Take care,
Jenny.
Jenny, some great gift ideas for dog moms! My wife is a cat lover (or perhaps I should be calling her a cat mom now) and I see that the tote bag could perhaps be for a cat lover as well. I love the doggie shirt – I’m sure a dog would look very cute in one of those and feature in many a funny family video. Dogs, I find are usually OK with some clothing; cats can’t wait to rip it off.
Hi James,
The tote bag would work well for a cat lover as well, or really anyone as it is a very versatile design. I agree with you that dogs will tolerate quite a bit from us humans such as being dressed in outfits, but cats, on the other hand, will want nothing to do with it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
Jenny.
Oh, what a great idea to give Mother’s day gifts to dog moms. My sister never could have human kids, but she has many four-legged furry kids, two dogs and five cats. There are several gift ideas that would be perfect for her. And of course, it doesn’t have to be for Mother’s day, it could be a birthday or Christmas as well. Or even the birthday of the doggies.
Hi LineCowley,
Any of these gifts would work well for dog moms on any occasion, not just for Mother’s Day. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
Jenny.
Jenny, your bond between you and Ellie is truly remarkable. I know a couple of dog moms myself but none come close to sharing the type of bond you seem to share with Ellie here. I applaud you.
The products you listed here are definitely good choices to consider but I own a German Shepherd currently. Had the big guy for four years and he’s a real friend.
Could you recommend something a bit more “macho” that I could get for myself? Not for Mother’s Day of course. lol
Hi Codjoe,
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. German Shepherd’s are beautiful dogs and very loyal. I can see though why you would want something a bit more “macho” especially when you own a male German Shepherd.
There are really great gift ideas especially for German Shepherd owners found on Etsy. Here is a link for you to take a look.
Hopefully, you can find something great.
Jenny.
