The Best Dog Mom Gifts For Anyone Whose Pup Is Their Baby

What better way to commemorate human-canine companionship than with a personalized portrait of the recipient’s dog? At West & Willow, you can create a custom piece of art by uploading a picture and pick the matte and frame colors. If the pet parent in mind has more than one pal, you can add up to three furry faces in a portrait. The finishing touch is the honorary pup’s name written top and center so there’s no question as to who rules the house.

If you’ve ever heard your favorite dog mom say her pooch is cute enough to eat, well, this custom gift is ideal. Etsy maker BakersStreetCutters will make a cookie cutter that looks just like their pup so their favorite baked treats can resemble their BFF. Pretty cool, right?

Know a pup parent who loves to travel with their pal? They’ll love sightseeing in style. “Maxbone had a waiting list of 5,000+ people for their travel-related items,” says Fowles-Pazdro. This includes the airline-compliant Global Citizen Pet Carrier Bag that’s both chic and cozy for canine passengers.

The best part about this gorgeous La-Z-Boy wicker dog bed is that it’s a gift for both parent and pet (in other words, Fido gets a cozy place to sleep while Mom gets a dog bed that won’t clash with the decor). Believe it or not, this bed is actually meant to stay outdoors so dogs will have it made in the shade when they’re lounging outside. Constructed with a durable, rust-resistant frame with a water-, mildew-, and fade-resistant mattress, it may look elegant but it’s also designed to withstand the elements. All that said, it makes a chic addition to any room if the giftee decides to keep it indoors. Choose from a handful of modern styles — just make sure your pick is the right size to fit the pooch in question. And for the record, this dog mom gift is Scary Mommy editor-approved, because I’ve tried it (or rather, my dog has) and it’s really nice.

The problem with dog beds is that they’re generally not very cute. And that’s okay, because for the most part, we dog moms sacrifice our interior decor for our fur babies (because our pups are number one, and who needs a put-together living room anyway?). But! What if we told you you could get your pup a really nice, orthopedic dog bed that is simultaneously chic AF? This one not only looks like a trendy rug, but it comes with a machine-washable cover, protective foam cover, and a non-skid bottom, so every time your doggo runs over to their place, they’re not dragging their bed halfway across the house. This is the ultimate gift for a dog mom who wants to give her pupper the nicest bed (but also wants to look like she has her shit together).

“Maxbone’s recipes are developed by a team of veterinarians using 5-star superfoods formulas and a modern freeze-drying technique,” explains Fowles-Pazdro. “All meals, treats, and supplements are full of simple, genuine ingredients – say goodbye to the fake stuff.”

“A pet food container for $100?” you may be thinking. But if you, like me, have big dogs and are aware of their capabilities to knock over regular containers of food, or sneak into dog food bags you thought you hid really well, then you know the struggle. I purchased a cheap dog food bin a while back, and after realizing my 60-pound puppy had gorged herself on her kibble because she KNOCKED THE BIN OVER (so naughty) I had to get something sturdier and smarter. Simplehuman’s pet food bin is the perfect size (depending on what you need!) for holding a massive quantity of kibble and keeping it fresh, it’s heavy enough to withstand a very large, enthusiastic dog, and it locks! This was a game changer for me, and it will be for any other pet mama. I promise.

Get the dog mom in your life a BarkBox subscription! Every month, she and her doggo will get a box of treats and toys. It’s a fun way to experiment with new snacks and kinds of toys and chews. And it’s fun for both dog mom and dog!

Did you know that Carhartt makes dog toys and accessories? And that they’re just as durable and reliable as their outwear gear? We put this rope to the test: I (Gina) gave this rope to my two gigantic German Shepherds who loooove to pull and chew and destroy, and it’s withstood their infinite enthusiasm. Made with 3-ply rope, it also comes with a sturdy ball at the end which the dogs are happy to chew for hours.

Almost every dog parent wants to give their pup the best, most healthiest food that’s free from icky ingredients. When there are *so* many dog treats on the market, it can get tricky to find the best kind. Which is why we were so relieved (and excited) to give Bocce a try (rather, our dogs gave Bocce a try). Wheat-free, made with 100% real ingredients (literally only five: oat flour, peanut butter, carob, vanilla, and molasses), you can feel good about giving your pup these birthday cake biscuits, whether it’s on their actual birthday or just because they’re looking extra cute that day.

Dog moms who can’t get enough of the haircare line Ouai will love this plush toys — and your pups will love it too (my dogs can’t get enough of it, and it’s currently in their “favorite toys we must protect at all costs” rotation list). Shaped like a Ouai product bottle, it’s the perfect size for any breed and it’s very durable (for reference, I have two gigantic German Shepherds who have yet to kill it). Bonus: It makes for great Instagram pics.

Ask a dog mom and she will likely tell you there can never be enough doggie bandanas. And it’s true! We love this unicorn patterned one because, well, obviously, unicorns. The comes in an extra-small, small, medium, and large, and it looks fab on every pup.

When it comes to rounding out a gift basket or pile of stocking stuffers for the dog mom in question, a bag of goodies just for Fido is the perfect finishing touch. Grab Jinx’s Treat Superpack, which includes three bags of all-natural dog treats in different flavors. (P.S. Speaking from experience, my dog absolutely loves these.) These crunchy cookies and chunks of chewy jerky are made with wholesome ingredients like peanut butter, blueberries, pumpkin, and chicken, plus the cookies are in the shape of a heart … aww!

The Fi Smart Collar is the perfect gift for any dog lover who may have a pup who likes to *ahem* run free from time to time. Gift peace of mind with this chew-proof, water-proof, and generally dog-proof Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled tracker.
