Dogs express their gratitude in many ways, from a simple wag of the tail to a barrage of sloppy kisses all over your face. But while dogs are great at showing the love, it’s safe to say that gift giving is not their forte. In fact, their idea of a “present” is usually something they killed in the yard, or a turd on the living room carpet.

I think we can all agree that dog moms deserve better than that. That’s why we’ve put together this selection of the best gifts for dog moms. Whether it’s for Mother’s Day, Christmas, a birthday, or just because, these dog mom gifts are sure to melt the heart of any proud fur mama.
