23 Gifts for Dog Moms That Are Sweet and Supremely Useful
Presents that will make pet parenting easier (and more fun).
By Sarah Madaus
We're all about dog moms these days. Whether a precedent to kids or not, deciding to become a parent to an animal is no easy feat. But the best gifts for dog moms are here to make it a little easier, whether the dog mom in your life has a new puppy or is simply celebrating a milestone.
When thinking about what to buy, remember: Dog lovers want to pamper their pet with the best of the best, from treats to leashes to travel carriers. And while everyone loves a quirky, dog-themed item once in a while, they also crave something they'll use every day—something that will make their life a little more efficient while doing daily tasks for their pet like feeding, walking, and playing. Choose something that's delightful for humans and animals alike (think: bright colors and patterns, interesting textures, and delicious flavors) that's also durable enough to withstand all the tugging and chewing that comes with owning a dog.
Keep reading for our curation of gifts for dog moms, including plenty of useful training and walking products, but also a few sentimental picks that will remind them of why they started out on the journey of pet parenthood. We've included gifts at a range of price points from brands and retailers like Wild One, Amazon, Furb, Pottery Barn, and more.
If your dog mom is in the process of potty training her dog, then she'll appreciate these stylish yet totally functional pee pads.

Fellow dog-lover Oprah herself recommends this travel carrier for small pups. “This pet carrier is airline-compliant, comes with a bonus leash, and is made from durable fabric that will hold up to that travel wear and tear," she says. It also comes in a handful of colors if pink doesn't suit the recipient.
Delicate and understated, this sterling silver necklace is sure to be something she'll treasure forever. What better way to show off her love for her dog than with this teeny tiny paw necklace. Available in sterling silver (pictured), 18kt gold, or 18kt rose gold.
In the few moments where your favorite dog lover doesn't have their hands full, they can ease their addled mind with a fun, whimsical puzzle. This 1,000-piece one features a handful of handsome pups and is made with recycled paper.
Sometimes a corny gift is the perfect option. Case in point: these ridiculously charming custom socks, which will brighten up their day, whether they wear them to the office or around the house.
