The Best Mother’s Day Gifts for Dog Moms

Katie Kimmel is a consummate dog mom. In fact, much of her wedding was even dedicated to showcasing her love for her pups, as she told The Wildest, “My wedding was a big making-art-about-my-dogs outlet. I’ve got a disco ball of my dog Pony’s head right now that I’m not quite sure what to do with, but it was a lot of fun.” If that doesn’t prove her pet devotion, these beautiful custom pieces absolutely will.

Alanui designer and former Vogue Japan fashion editor Carlotta Oddi recently collaborated with Poldo to reimagine her popular fringed cardis for dogs. The capsule collection is the perfect way for mom to twin with her pet.

Susan Alexandra recently told The Wildest that she believes dogs are truly magical. While they may only be intended for decorative purposes and not for actual walking, these colorful collars may be one of the most Instagram-worthy pet accessories you can buy. Give the dog mom in your life the gift of social media clout.

Following the, err, events of the last couple of years, we can all have lapses in our abilities to simply deal with daily life. Add in the responsibility of caring for a pup who relies on you and some days may seem overwhelming. In this hilariously relatable collection of comics and motivations, illustrator Grace Miceli is essentially putting her arm around you and saying, “We’re all struggling, but at least your dog’s cute.”

Finally, a bath bomb specifically made for dog people. We are, of course, a special (read: better) breed of individuals with singular triumphs and challenges. This offering by Whiskey River Soap Co. will help relieve that unique form of stress.

While many cities are quickly doubling down on their dog-friendliness by offering communal water bowls at parks, outside of restaurants, or near hiking trails, the unfortunate truth is that these tend to house bacteria and other toxins your pet should surely avoid. The more expected truth is that many dog moms — with their superhuman preparedness — are probably aware. However, they may not be aware of this solution, so give them a pleasant surprise for once — contrary to what their dog usually spontaneously presents on the carpet. Made of 100% eco-friendly and non-toxic materials, this bottle from Merci Collective features a selection of hand-picked healing crystals stationed in the middle to help promote better energy and uplift mental and physical health.

Does the dog mom in your life love to bake? Does their pup like treats? You’re bound to answer yes to at least one of those questions, so this should fit the bill.

To travel with a dog, you often have to sacrifice style for safety. However, Pretty Little Liars Shay Mitchell offered a solution without compromising either through her brand BÉIS and its Everyday Pet Tote — a daily pet carrier that is as chic as it is functional.

Maxbone's collaborations are always must-haves, from OUAI shampoo-inspired toys to Christian Cowan's feathered jumpers. The Maxbone x Bala limited-edition bundle of workout gear-inspired toys includes a blush beam, a sage power ring, and sand dog bangles (that can be stuffed with treats). They are non-toxic, BPA-free, and made from food-grade silicone — so they're safe for both pets and the planet.

Artist Justine Osborne sketches and oil paints beautiful black-and-white dog portraits — available on canvas, in a frame, or embossed onto a variety of ceramics from mugs to diffusers.

If you’re the type of person who looks down on people who wear matching clothes with their dogs, you clearly don’t have one in your life (which, frankly, is a shame). For the rest of us, these matching human and dog hoodies are absurdly soft and comfy. So much so, the custom option even landed on Oprah’s Favorite Things list in 2020. 

Let’s be real — dog moms, like human moms, are always more concerned about their children’s happiness, even on Mother’s Day. Throw this bundle in the pile of gifts to keep their pups happy while you (hopefully) shower them with other items on this list.

Whether you like unique pet-inspired decor, want to always feel your dog’s presence on the couch, or just think it’d be cute to watch your pup question their own reality while looking at a pillow that perfectly resembles their likeness, these custom pieces have you covered.

If there wasn’t enough to already love about candles, this one donates 10% of all purchases to shelters. You can say it lights my fire.

Go big or go home — words your dog would never utter for two reasons. One, they’re too well behaved. Two, they don’t speak English. That said, with this assortment of organic spa products and toys, they won’t have to. Plus, for every product sold, Flamingo Estate plants a tree with 1% For The Planet.

If there’s one thing that unites moms of all forms, it’s a love of wine. This set not only offers your choice of vino but a banana, collapsible bowl, and toy for your pup.
