Let’s be real: being a dog parent is one of the greatest joys in the world. Whether they’re a big, adorable Labrador or a tiny, chipper Chihuahua, we all love our dogs equally. And we want to let the world know! Luckily, there are a vast array of ways to flaunt your puppy love no matter what kind of dog parent you are.
Rock Some Cute Dog-Centric Clothes
One of the cutest and comfiest ways to show off your dog parent status is with clothing. For instance, you can stay warm when out on walks with your dog while wearing a fashionable dog mom sweatshirt. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to get your pup a cute bandana or color-coordinated collar to match! Umm, hello, coolest dog parent on the block alert! If you’re not one for statement pieces, that’s totally cool too: you can always accessorize! There are plenty of dog-centric bits and baubles that you can add to your wardrobe, like a pair of socks with your dog’s picture on them, or a dog dad baseball cap with their name embroidered across the front. Looking good while showing off your puppy love? A win-win in our book.
Get a Canine Coffee Mug
No, we’re definitely not recommending that you let your dog have a sip of your morning brew! While coffee isn’t safe for dogs, customizing a coffee mug with a picture of your dog is a wonderful way to display how happy you are to be a dog parent. You’ll constantly have folks in the office kitchen asking you who your fabulous furry friend is, giving you the perfect opportunity to show off the insanely cute pics you took of your pup at the dog park this weekend. If you’re not a fan of coffee or tea, there are plenty of other glassware options to customize with your dog’s picture too!
Decorate Your Space with a Puppy Portrait
Your dog is a beautiful work of art and you know it, so show off your pup by commissioning a portrait of them! There are plenty of artists online who do custom puppy paintings. What’s more, you can have your dog portrait done in any style of your choosing: for instance, if you’re parent to a perfect poodle, you could get them a regal portrait with their head atop the body of a fanciful king or queen. If you have more than one dog, it would be fun to include them all in a painting together. If you need inspiration, a painting of dogs around a poker table never gets old!
Make Your Dog the Star of Your Next Holiday Card
The holidays are about celebrating the things you love most: AKA your dog! Plan your holiday cards ahead of time and take photos that feature your pooch as the star. For a fun Christmas card, try snapping a pic of your pup next to your tree while they wear a cute dog-sized Santa hat. If you celebrate Hanukkah, you could have your cards feature your pup chewing on a plush dreidel toy. Whatever you celebrate, your dogs are sure to be the hallmark of the holiday season as the star of your holiday cards! Your friends and family will love them as well – who wouldn’t want a cute puppy pic to display on their fridge? (Literally no one, that’s who!) While your dogs may not be able to unwrap their own holiday presents, being a dog parent is the greatest gift of all.
Flood Your Feed with Posts of Your Furry Friend
We don’t think we’re exaggerating when we say that the internet always needs more dog content. Put your pooch front and center by posting pics or videos of them to share with your friends and family. If your dog’s a real ham for the camera, you could create a whole Instagram or TikTok account just for them. A Star is Bone! (Woof, that was one heck of a bad puppy pun.) Plus, by sharing posts of your pet online, you’ll get to connect with other dog parents in the comments, and bond over all the wonderful parts of puppy parenthood.
Becoming a dog parent is a beautiful experience, and you’re bound to want to let others know just how much you love parenting your pooch. There are countless ways you can show off your love for your dog every day: from wearing your favorite dog mom sweatshirt, to buying art and decor that feature your pup, or posting pics of them in their finest (or goofiest) moments online. Just as grateful as you are to be a parent to your dog, we bet your dog feels just as lucky to be cared for by you! What’s your favorite way to display your dog parent status to the world?
