The Ultimate Dog Mom Gift Guide for Mother's Day
"Being a Dog Mom can often be dismissed as not being as "real" or "important" as being a parent to a human child. However, as a mother to both a child with toes and two with toebeans, I can confirm that Dog Moms absolutely deserve the title. The truth is, raising a dog takes a tremendous amount of care, effort, and love. As Dog Moms, we spend countless hours training, caring for, and putting our fur babies' needs before our own. We also experience the joys and challenges of watching our pups grow and develop, just like human parents. The role of being a Dog Mom deserves recognition and appreciation for all that we do. So don't forget to add friends with fur babies to your Mother's Day shopping list. And in case you don't know where to begin, I've curated some of my favorite gift ideas below."
- Jennifer, Founder of Wag Source, Proud Dog Mom to Maverick + Mia

Boosting the Immune System
- Improving Digestive Health
- Probiotics are known for their ability to improve digestive health in both humans and animals. In dogs, probiotics can help to balance the gut microbiome and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, which can aid in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. This can be especially helpful for dogs with digestive issues such as diarrhea, constipation, or inflammatory bowel disease.
- Boosting the Immune System
- The gut is home to a large part of the immune system, and probiotics can help to strengthen it. By promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, probiotics can help to fight off harmful pathogens and reduce inflammation in the gut. This can help to improve overall immune function and keep your dog healthy and strong.
- Reducing Inflammation
- Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can lead to a range of health issues, including arthritis, heart disease, and cancer. Probiotics have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and can help to reduce inflammation in the gut and throughout the body. This can help to prevent and manage chronic diseases and support your dog's long-term health.
- Reduce Anal Gland Issues + Scooting
- When your dog's gut microbiome is imbalanced, it can lead to digestive issues such as diarrhea or constipation, which can contribute to anal gland problems. When a dog has consistent, solid bowl movements, it expresses the anal glands more frequently and reduces the build up of fluid in the glands. By supporting digestive health and regularity, probiotics can help prevent these issues and reduce the risk of anal gland impaction or infection. Scooting in dogs can be a sign of anal gland discomfort or irritation, and probiotics can help to alleviate this issue and support the overall health of the anal glands.
- Supporting Mental Health
- Believe it or not, the gut is also connected to the brain, and the microbiome can influence mental health and behavior. Probiotics have been shown to have a positive effect on mood and anxiety in both humans and animals. By promoting a healthy gut microbiome, probiotics can help to support your dog's mental health and overall well-being.
