5 Things Only a Dog Mom Understands

Lifestyles of the Furry & Fabulous 3 min read

Getting a dog changes your life in ways that you can’t understand until you’re suddenly sharing a piece of your meal or strategizing the best way to trim their nails without causing a scene. Here are five things only a dog mom understands!

#1 You Have a Secret Language

When you first get a dog, it’s that instant connection that draws you together. But over time, it’s the way you two develop your own language together.

It didn’t take long to understand every nuance

You never thought you’d be able to tell the difference between a “I gotta go outside” look and a “Can I have a bite?” look at just a glance, but it didn’t take long to understand every nuance. Now, you can look at them and differentiate between a fake limp and a real one.

In fact, you’ve become a master at telling doggy body language and can spot every mood your pup is in within seconds.

#2 Things That Once Required Zero Dogs…

… now require a dog!

Let’s be honest. Since getting a pup, activities that required zero dogs now involve your dog, more often than not. When you’re vacuuming, they’re there to protect you. A quick trip to the store is now a joint car ride. Going to the bathroom? Yeah, it’s a shared activity.

But are we all that mad about it? Not really. While new dog moms are surprised at first, having your fur baby around you 24/7 quickly becomes your new normal.

#3 You Take Their Health As Seriously As Yours

Pet health is serious business to a fur mom. You’re often deep into research, discovering the best way to not only help your fur kid when they’re sick, but also keep them from getting sick in the first place.

you aren’t alone when it comes to upgrading their care

From making healthier swaps when it comes to their treats with natural dog treats made without artificial ingredients, to researching all the latest pet care tips, it’s a journey. But you aren’t alone when it comes to upgrading their care. For holistic supplement regimens, fur moms around the world have trusted NHV supplements for over 25 years now.

#4 Never. Enough. Pictures.

Anyone looking at your camera roll could tell your dog is your muse!

You’re taking pics of your fur kiddo so often that it seems more like their phone than yours. But when you look back on these moments, you’re always glad you took this many pics.

#5 Your Morning Routines Revolve Around Them

Mornings become a little different when you’re a pet mom. In fact, it might just be your pup who wakes you up sometimes, giving you a gentle woof to be fed.

Sure, you may not be able to sleep in quite as long when you’ve got a fur kid. They need to go outside to pee or burn some energy on their morning walk. They’re also really looking forward to their first meal of the day, and you’ve got to give them their supplements, too.

But when you wake up every morning to your best friend, the entire day feels a bit lighter. Fair trade-off, if you ask us!

Every Day Is Different As A Pet Mom

One day, you’re coaxing your dog to go to the vet, and the next you’re deciding which wholesome treat to get them.

But whatever you do, it’s the fact that you do it together. In a dog’s eyes, everything’s an adventure when it’s with their mom, and that infectiously positive energy epitomizes fur parenthood.
