You may not get macaroni art or a handwritten card, but if you’ve ever cleaned muddy paws, carried poop bags like a pro, or whispered “who’s a good boy?” more times than you can count — you’re a dog dad through and through. And this Father’s Day? It’s all about you.
Whether your pup is your hiking buddy, your couch companion, or your loyal co-pilot in life, here are a few ways to celebrate your bond and make the day feel special (for both of you).
1. Start the Day Your Way
Sleep in (if your pup lets you), make your favourite coffee, and head out for your go-to walk. No schedule, no stress — just you, your dog, and some fresh air. Whether it’s a familiar trail or a new park you’ve been meaning to check out, let this be your kind of morning.
2. Treat Yourselves
Brunch isn’t just for the humans. While you plate up your weekend favourites, your pup can enjoy a dog-safe bite too — a little scrambled egg (unseasoned), sliced apple, or even a frozen yogurt cube with blueberries. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a little Gutsy Balance Sprinkles on top — great for digestion and even better for wag-worthy flavour.
3. Make a Memory
Snap a photo together — one where you're both mid-walk, mid-nap, or mid-laugh. It doesn’t have to be Instagram-perfect. Frame it, save it, or set it as your lock screen. Because years from now, it’s the small, ordinary moments you’ll love most.
4. Do Absolutely Nothing
Seriously. Spend the afternoon on the couch, your dog snoring beside you, as you finally watch that show or scroll guilt-free. Sometimes the best kind of quality time is the do-nothing kind — especially when your dog is perfectly content just being near you.
5. End the Day with a Wag
Whether it’s a slow sunset walk, a backyard game of fetch, or a long-lasting chew while you unwind — wrap up the day the same way it started: just the two of you, enjoying the little things.
You’re More Than a Dog Owner — You’re Their Person
Being a dog dad means showing up every day, no matter what. It means muddy floors, morning walks, unconditional loyalty, and a bond that only grows with time. So here’s to you — the treat givers, the snuggle pros, the true best friends.
Happy Father’s Day, Dog Dad. You’re your pup’s whole world — and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
