Celebrating National Dog Mom’s Day with Meghan Trainor: A Freshpet Guide to Making it Unforgettable

As National Dog Mom’s Day approaches, we’re given the perfect opportunity to shower our furry friends with even more love and attention. This year, the celebration gets a touch of star power with Meghan Trainor, Global Superstar and Freshpet’s first celebrity partner, sharing her personal tips for making the day extra special for both moms and their canine companions.

The Essence of Dog Mom’s Day

Meghan Trainor captures the spirit of the day beautifully, stating, “It’s a day to honor the love and loyalty that our pets give us every day.” She’s embracing the occasion by planning a mix of fun activities that include playdates, picnics, and some cherished time with her dogs. “I’m determined to spend some quiet time alone with my dogs,” Meghan shares, highlighting the deep bond she shares with her pets.

How to Celebrate?
Whether you’re planning to celebrate solo or with fellow dog moms, here are some stellar ideas inspired by Meghan and Freshpet:

1. Host a Dog Mom Playdate

Gather your dog-loving friends and venture out to a dog park, the beach, or a dog-friendly cafe. This not only gives you a chance to catch up with friends but also lets your dogs enjoy some much-needed socialization. And what better soundtrack for the day than Meghan Trainor’s new song, “I’m a Dog Mom”? It’s sure to add a fun vibe to any gathering!

2. Capture Special Moments

Why not document the day with photos? Whether you snap them yourself or hire a professional, these photos can be transformed into keepsakes like a family wall frame, a photo book, or even custom-printed mugs or T-shirts. You might even consider turning a favorite photo into a woven blanket – a cozy reminder of the day.

3. Commission a Piece of Art

From paintings to digital art, and even engraved jewelry, commissioning a piece of art is a unique way to celebrate the bond with your pet. Artistic expressions can capture your dog’s personality in a way that nothing else can.

4. Enjoy a Picnic (Meghan’s Top Pick!)

Meghan suggests, “Going for an outdoor picnic is another way to celebrate.” Pick a dog-friendly location and pack your comfiest blanket and some dog toys to make the outing enjoyable. For a truly special touch, prepare a dog-friendly “barkuterie” board featuring safe fruits, vegetables, and low-sodium treats.

5. Plan a Special Meal

If outdoor plans fall through, why not whip up a delicious meal at home? Pair it with your dog’s favorite Freshpet recipe for a cozy and enjoyable mealtime.
