Fun Ways to Celebrate the Pet Parents

With Mother’s Day coming up, it’s only right that our pups get the opportunity to celebrate the special caretakers in their life! There are plenty of ways you can celebrate the pet moms in your life. The best ideas feel personal, a little playful, and centered around that special bond they share with their furry companions.

Start With an Experience

There are plenty of activities you can incorporate into your day to make it a pet-friendly celebration of the fur-moms in your pups life! Here are some things you can do: 

• Take a scenic walk
• Head to the beach for a walk in the sand 
• Take your pup to lunch or brunch, at a dog-friendly café
• This idea may take the cake…organize a mini “pet party” with a few friends and their animals, complete with treats for both humans and pets! 

Go the Gift Route and Make it Pawsitively Creative Once! 

Our pups may not have fine motor skills but with a little setup, they can “create” some pretty adorable Mother’s Day keepsakes. The key is keeping it safe, simple, and mess-controlled. Gifts are a great route for celebrating the fur moms out there, especially when they’re customized!

• • The Good Dog Spot’s Doggy Daycare Mother’s Day Arts & Crafts: We offer arts & crafts for your pups on the Friday before Mother’s Day each year so that your pups can take home their art pawjects and make ‘mom’ feel extra special!

• Paw-print art: Grab some pet-safe, non-toxic paint and gently press your dog’s paw onto paper or canvas. You can turn it into flowers, hearts, or even spell out a message with multiple prints.

• Abstract lick painting: Put small dots of paint inside a sealed plastic bag over paper or a canvas, then spread a little peanut butter (xylitol-free) on the outside. As your dog licks, they move the paint around to create a colorful design with no mess on their paws.
• Bandana art: Use toxic-free, fabric-safe paint and have your pup “design” their masterpiece/wearable memory.

To all of the pet moms out there, happy Fur-Mother’s Day! Have fun with your furry companion, and make it a truly special day.
