The Origins of Dog Mom Day
How did Dog Mom Day get started? Mom Day is the brainchild of animal lifestyle expert and pet parent Alicia Boemi. A more people are choosing to be pet owners not parents, so dog mom makes a little bit of sense. This holiday occurs on the second Saturday of May every year to give dog moms everywhere a day to commemorate all the sacrifice and hard work they put into their babies.
Why Celebrate Dog Mom Day?
So, (pun unintended) — being a dog mom is not just technically having one for a pet; it’s reigning over the way of life. Ask any dog mom and she will tell you; all the hits are hers. Dogs are played with, groomed, taken to the vet, and given love. Recognizing Dog Mom Day simply allows a moment for some acknowledgment of the tireless effort required to be a dog mom.
The Role of a Dog Mom
A dog mom is the type who considers her dog one of the family as long as it is fat, happy, and loved. Dog moms do everything possible to provide joy for their pets, from walks and health check-ups to special appointments at the groomer. Dog Mom Day is a day to recognize that love and commitment.
