There are dog moms… and then there are Dog Moms.
You know the ones.
The treat carriers.
The sweater buyers.
The “sorry I can’t, my dog needs me” plan cancelers.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of them... and we love that for you. You're in good company!🐾
So in honor of cozy February vibes (and because cabin fever is real), let’s find out…
Which Type of Dog Mom Are You?
1. The Over-Packer
Her dog’s diaper bag contains:
~4 types of treats
~A collapsible water bowl
~Paw wipes
~Emergency sweater
~Backup emergency sweater
She is prepared for:
~Rain
~Snow
~Mud
~Apocalypse
She once packed snacks for a 12-minute walk.
2. The “My Dog Has an Instagram” Mom
Her dog has:
~Better lighting than she does
~A curated aesthetic
~A seasonal bandana collection
Her camera roll? 97% dog.
And honestly? We support it.
3. The Organic Treat Purist
Ingredients must be:
~Single-source protein
~Human-grade
~Ethically raised
~Possibly blessed by a woodland fairy
She reads labels like it’s her full-time job.
4. The Matching Pajamas Mom
If it comes in human and dog sizes, she owns it.
Holiday PJs.
Cozy flannel.
Possibly Valentine’s sweaters in February and St. Patrick's sweaters in March.
Does she care what the neighbors think?
No. No, she does not.
5. The Adventure Buddy
Her dog has hiked:
~Mountains
~Trails
~Beaches
~Probably more places than she has
The car is permanently dusty.
There’s a leash in every bag she owns.
6. The “My Dog Is My Child” Mom
Corrects people gently but firmly:
“He’s not a pet. He’s my son.”
She celebrates:
~Gotcha Day
~Half Birthdays
~National Dog Day
~Random Tuesdays
There may have been a cake involved for each of those days.
7. The Cozy Homebody
Her dog has:
~Three blankets
~Two favorite couch spots
~A heating pad (maybe shared)
Her ideal Friday night:
Blanket.
Tea.
Dog.
Zero plans.
8. The DIY Queen
She makes:
~Homemade treats
~Personalized bandanas
~Seasonal decor
~Custom dog art
Her Pinterest boards are a masterpiece.
9. The Trainer-in-Training
Has watched:
~450 dog behavior videos
~1700 training reels
~45 documentaries
Says things like:
“We’re working on impulse control.”
Her dog knows “sit,” “stay,” and “please stop barking at nothing.”
10. The Secret Softie
Pretends she’s strict.
Has rules.
Talks about boundaries.
But also whispers:
“You’re the most perfect creature to ever exist.”
And sneaks treats when no one’s looking.
The Truth?
Most of us are a little bit of all of them.
We over-pack…
We baby-talk…
We buy the sweater…
We take the picture…
We say “just one more treat.”
Because loving your dog isn’t logical.
It’s wholehearted.
And February, when it’s cold and cozy and the holidays are over, might just be the perfect time to lean into it.
So tell us…
Which type are you?
