Darling Mother's Day Gifts For Dog Moms

PetSugar — Fri, 08 May 2009 06:00:37 -0700

I don't know about you, but I expect my lil guy to spoil me rotten this Sunday in honor of Mother's Day. Sure, he can't serve me gingerbread pancakes in bed or call my favorite salon for a mani-pedi appointment, but I'll be celebrating my doggie motherhood with the best of them - champagne glass (and leash!) in hand.

Take action for your favorite dog by gifting his mom with a token honoring her unconditional love. The Un Apres-Midi de Chien tote ($188) adds a little fashion to routine walkies and has plenty of room for pooper scooper gear, treats and a water bottle (and a detachable dog charm to boot). If mama is on the practical side, you might consider celebrating her doggiehood with new pair of sneakers or elegant pup shaped soaps.

Remember, it's not doggie's birthday, but a holiday to recognize your favorite hound mom (even if it is yourself!) so get something for mama. Hey North, you may be my bestie, but I'm hoping for a girl's best friend. Hint. Hint.

Puurrrfect Mother's Day Gifts For Cat Moms

PetSugar — Thu, 07 May 2009 13:30:31 -0700

If you ask me, Sunday isn't just about traditional Mother's Day celebrations. It's about celebrating the mama in us all - whether we push a stroller, take care of four-legged creatures, or both. Take the effortlessly chic BellaSugar for example. She's mom to two darling cats and deserves a tribute token or two for the love she shares with them all year.

If you're in the market for the purrrfect gift for a cat mom think chic, fierce, and sophisticated. This Markus Lupfer Rachel cat print tee ($135) will help any catwoman feel comfy and cute while picking up kitty litter on Saturdays. If your budget is a little tighter, consider elegant Gianna Rose Atellier cat soap ($21).

There are plenty of ways to show you care, whether it be for your own mom, aunts, cousins, and friends. We can all celebrate! So before you go toasting your mimosas to the Cat Mom on Sunday, check out my handy-dandy widget of cool gifts to bring along.

Do a Doodle on MyPetLamp

PetSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:50:52 -0700

It may be meant for kids, but I think HoweePup is pretty cute . . . even adults need lights! This lamp comes in six colors and a range of species (from cats to piggies), making it the perfect alternapet for any household. My fave feature is that it comes with a washable marker – write right on the animal to draw silly faces, fancy outfits, or even leave notes to yourself. I'd love to have the whimsical glowing doxie on my nightstand, how about you?

Sweet Gifts For the Pet Dad

PetSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 03:00:48 -0700

I made a big to-do over all you cat and dog moms on Mother's Day this year, and I certainly can't overlook the men in your pets' lives!

And we mustn't forget, there are single dog dads out there – like sofyasdad – so make sure to send a Happy Father's Day wish to your single guy pals with pets this Sunday! I love picking out gifts for all occasions and have found a few things that I think would be pet dad-approved. One is the street-tested Joey Pouch ($40) for dog dads, since you can tote your pet around comfortably in style, and it's minus the bells and whistles that may come on other carriers geared toward the ladies.

Is there a pet dad in your life? Dog and cat dads like to be pampered and gifted just as much as anyone else! See what other goodies I've found for Father's Day in my widget when you read more.

Blue Planet DVD Set ($60)	Doggie Table Calendar ($15)
Cat Paperweights ($10)	Stylish Litter Box ($30)
Training Clicker ($7)	Grooming Glove ($13)

Send Your Pup to Grandma's House in Style!

PetSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 03:00:40 -0700

When FabSugar goes out of town, her squishy (and so adoro) Annabelle goes to grandma's house for vacay, and I know since Annabelle is totally hooked up in the toy and fashion department, she probably has a suitcase to herself to hold all of her necessities.

Which is why I think Fab (and Grandma) can appreciate this cute Sleepover Suitcase ($150) gift set from Arf Dog. The re-usable case comes stocked with travel style toys like a chewy newspaper, plushy cab, passport, scrumptious treats, plus a fluffy bathrobe and blankie for when she's ready to relax after a long day of play. And besides, it sort of resembles a certain designer that begins with a Louis and ends with a Vuitton, so I know it's Fab approved!

Arf Dog not only has cute travel cases, but gift packs for sporty dogs, puppies, pampered spa-themed sets, and essentials for a day at the beach. All of these packs would make great gifts for holidays, or pet birthdays . . . which is coming up for my lil guy this month!

Gifts for the Cat Mom

PetSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 10:00:08 -0700

I know I've mentioned before that I'm not a Cat Mom myself, but have fond memories of my first cat when I was younger. What I do have, however, is plenty of pals that are Cat Moms and are without children of the human kind. Since I'm guessing that all of us here love our pets as if they were children, why not extend the love of Mom's Day to those who have furry babies? I've already shown you some great ideas for the Dog Mom in your life, so what about all those feline lovers?

Your Cat's Just Not That Into You ($9)	Red Tango Weekend Bag ($65)
Kitty Kit Stationery Set ($45)	Hygiene Shovel With Carrier ($18)
Pet Laundry Wash ($10)	Red Tango Retro Swirl Cat Mirror Compact ($8)	Cat Ecards for Mothers Day

Gifts for the Dog Mom

PetSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 07:00:42 -0700

Being a Dog Mom myself, I would hope that North would celebrate me on Mother's Day (if, of course, he knew what Mother's Day was). There's a lot that goes into caring for an animal, and it's definitely not an easy task. I've told my own mother that this certainly can be considered practice for a real baby, since I spend quite a bit of my free time hanging out with the little guy, taking him for walks in the park, and making sure he's healthy, just like a mom to someone of the human species would. And, if my North could talk, I know that he would say, "Thanks and I love you!"

So with the upcoming holiday in mind, let's spread the love and show all those Dog Moms out there we care. If you have a friend or relative that is a Dog Mom, she deserves some QT and a few goodies of her own. Especially since sacrificing those hot stilettos for a few trips to the doggie spa isn't easy. To see some of my Dog Mom Mother's Day gift ideas, just read more.
