What to Write in a Card from the Dog on Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show appreciation for all the love and belly rubs that dog mums give. Whether you’re crafting a heartfelt message or a funny little note, a Mother's Day card from the dog is a delightful way to make your favourite dog mum smile. Here are some ideas to help you write the perfect message.

Sweet and Heartfelt Messages

If your pup could speak, they’d probably tell their human just how much they love her! Here are some adorable and affectionate message ideas:

• “Happy Mother’s Day to the best human ever! Thank you for all the belly rubs, treats, and adventures. I love you so much!”

• “You give the best snuggles, the tastiest treats, and the longest walks. I’m one lucky pup to have you as my mum!”

• “To my favourite person – thank you for always taking care of me, even when I roll in mud or steal your socks. Love you forever!”

• “You’re the best dog mum ever! I’d fetch you flowers if I could, but I’ll settle for lots of wagging instead!”

• “Every day with you is my favourite day. Thank you for loving me just the way I am.”

• “No one else makes me feel as safe, loved, and happy as you do. You’re truly one of a kind!”

• “Your kindness, patience, and love make every day brighter. I’m lucky to have you as my mum.”

Funny and Playful Messages

• “Happy Mother’s Day! I was going to make you breakfast in bed, but I ate it. Hope you don’t mind!”

• “You’re the best dog mum ever! Now, can we talk about increasing my treat allowance?”
