Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate all moms, and we really mean all of them. It’s not just Mother’s Day, it’s National Dog Mom’s Day! According to Mintel, 49% of women in the U.S. own a dog, and according to Pawzy, 54% of women in Canada say their pet is loved and treated like a child. It sounds like it’s true love between dog mom and Fido!
To celebrate, here are 5 things you can do with your dog on National Dog Mom’s Day:
- Mark the occasion with a selfie
Like all holidays, it’s the perfect time to snap a memorable photo. We’d love to see your pics! Tag us @acanapetfood so we can see your sweet mom/pup pictures. - Take a nice walk and tour your town or city
Now that the weather is getting nicer, it’s the perfect activity to get outside, get some exercise and celebrate National Dog Mom’s Day with some quality time with your pup. Finding a new walking route to change things up and discover new spots is always exciting. - Set up a fun obstacle course in your house
If the spring weather graces you with May showers, there are easy ways to use items you have laying around to create tunnels and jumps. It’s a fun activity and challenge, plus it helps your pup with mental stimulation and agility. Here are other specifics on how to set up your course. - Celebrate with a treat
ACANA® High-Protein Biscuits are a perfect treat for any dog. They are crafted with five simple ingredients—including nutrient-rich liver—and they’re packed with protein, with 85%* of total protein coming from animal ingredients. They’re also heart-shaped, so they’re full of extra love! - Give some extra cuddles
Cuddling with your dog may increase levels of oxytocin in both you and your pet, making you both feel happier! Plus, it gives us a sense of calm.
We’ll take any excuse to celebrate the bond between dog moms and dogs, and we’ll be doing our best to celebrate. Happy Dog Mom’s Day to all the dog mommas out there!
