Mother’s Day is upon us – a day where we celebrate the selflessness and love of mothers everywhere, and dog moms are no exception. 

So, why not give a dog mom in your life something special this year?

There are a plethora of dog mom gifts out there, but we looked beyond the basic hoodies, T-Shirts, and coffee mugs to find something sure to please. 

Without further ado, here’s our list of unique gifts to honor the best dog mom you know – even if that dog mom is you!

West and Willow Custom One Pet Portrait

This decor is sure to bring a smile to the dog mom in your life’s face! Simply upload a picture of their pup along with their name, and an artist will get to work on their portrait. You can also customize the portrait style, frame color, and size to your liking.

The EverNary Smart Dog Bell

Bell potty training is an effective way to teach your dog to alert you when they need to go out. This bell is wireless and comes with two receivers. Your pooch bumps the inside receiver when they need to use the bathroom, and bumps the outside receiver to alert you when they’re done.

The Pooch Selfie Stick

You can choose which motivational object you need and snap away. This gift will help your dog mom get the perfect selfie every time.

The Pet Pilot Smart Dog Leash

The Pet Pilot smart leash allows dog moms to track dog walking routes, distance walked, time walking, and even gives you the ability to share your routes with friends through its smartphone app. When walking in the dark, the seven colors and three lighting modes give you ample light and improved visibility. The leash is a USB quick charge requiring no batteries and fast charging time. This smart leash also contains a built-in capsule for poop bags.

Pet Pro Tip: When shopping for products for your dog, make sure to also help protect your pooch with best-in-class dog insurance or puppy insurance plans for accidents & illnesses.

Furbo Dog Camera

When you can’t take your dog along for the ride, you can check on them at home with the Furbo dog camera. Whenever you ‌miss their fuzzy face, just peek at the livestream on your phone, and even toss them a treat by triggering the automatic treat dispenser.

Upload the image of your choice to look at whenever you miss your pup or feel compelled to share your dog’s beautiful face with others. Look into the stone on the charm, or project the image onto your smartphone for viewing.

It comes with four recordable communication buttons and a training manual. Never guess what your dog is communicating again.

Dog Insurance

The best gift any dog mom can get? Peace of mind when her fur baby gets sick or hurt. Turns out this is possible with the help of dog insurance. From surprise illnesses and behavioral issues to unexpected surgeries and medications, so much can happen when you least expect it. Having an insurance plan, like a Pumpkin plan, that covers 90% of eligible vet bills is the gift that keeps on giving.
