Let’s honor all the amazing dog moms out there!
Are you a proud pup parent who loves your furry friend more than anything? Do you go the extra mile to ensure your fur baby is well-fed, well-groomed, and pampered? If yes, then get ready to celebrate National Dog Mom’s Day!
A Brief History of National Dog Mom’s Day
Brooke Schoenfeld, an animal behaviorist based in the United States, founded this holiday. As a proud “fur mom” herself, Brooke realized that pet owner culture often overlooks the emotional connection people have with their pets. She wanted to create a special holiday to recognize and celebrate the love and commitment that dog moms show to their fur babies.
Why Do We Celebrate?
This day celebrates the special bond between pups and their moms. It is observed every year on the second Saturday in May. Since its inception, National Dog Mom’s Day has gained increasing popularity worldwide. Dog moms everywhere are showered with love, attention, and special treats on this day.
Not a dog mom yet? Visit your local shelter and consider adopting. Most experts do agree that researching dog breeds ahead of time to understand care and exercise needs, will go a long way in helping you make a better choice for your new best friend. There are over 350 different dog breeds in the world, worming their way into our hearts and becoming much loved family members.

Today is not just for the dog moms! Shower your pooch with some extra-special love and attention.
