 Mother's Day is a special day to show appreciation for the love and care our mothers provide. But what about the others in our lives we care for as pet parents? For those of us with dogs, they often hold a special place in our hearts and can be just as deserving of recognition on Mother's Day. Here are some unique suggestions for celebrating Mother's Day with your furry best friend:


  1. Take a special walk: Going for a walk with your dog is always a great way to bond and get some exercise. But on Mother's Day, why not make it extra special? Choose a new and exciting route, perhaps a trail or park you haven't explored before. Bring along some treats for your pup, and don't forget to take plenty of photos to capture the moment. 
  2. Have a picnic: If the weather is nice, plan a picnic with your dog. Pack some snacks for you and some of their favorite snacks and toys, and find a shady spot in the park or your backyard. Enjoy some quality time together while taking in the fresh air and scenery. 
  3. Give a dog-friendly spa day: Many dogs enjoy being pampered, so why not treat your pup to a spa day? You can give them a bath, brush out their coat, and even give them a massage. This is not only a great way to bond, but it will also leave your dog feeling relaxed and refreshed.
  4. Take a pet-friendly class: There are many pet-friendly classes available, such as dog yoga or obedience training. Sign up for a class with your furry friend, and enjoy learning new skills together.
  5. Make homemade dog treats: If you're feeling crafty, why not make some homemade dog treats for your pup? There are many recipes available online, and your dog will appreciate the extra effort and love put into making them. If you aren’t the baking type, stop by your local pet store and pick up a bag of cookies- your dog won’t judge. 
  6. Get matching outfits: For those who love to dress up their dogs, why not get matching outfits for Mother's Day? It may seem cheesy, but it's a fun and lighthearted way to celebrate the special bond between you and your furry friend. Bonus points if you post your twinning outfits to your social media page. 
  7. Go on a road trip: Plan a road trip with your dog- it can be a short trip to a local spot, or a multi day adventure. Choose a destination that you both will enjoy, and make some memories along the way. Just make sure to plan ahead and find pet-friendly accommodations and activities.
  8. Donate to a pet charity: Mother's Day is also a great opportunity to give back to those in need. Consider donating to a pet charity in honor of your furry friend. Not only will it make you feel good, but it will also help those animals in need.

 

If your own mother has a dog, this is a great opportunity to show how much you care. Offer to bring her pup to a spa day or on a walk, or to puppy sit while she enjoys a day to herself of her favorite things without having to run home to care for her dog. If you’re going out to eat on her special day, bring a treat for her dog so they have something to do while you are out celebrating. 

There are many unique and fun ways to celebrate Mother's Day with your furry best friend.

From special walks and picnics to homemade treats and road trips, there are plenty of ways to show your appreciation for the love and care your dog provides. Whatever you choose to do, make sure to enjoy the time together and cherish the special bond you share.
