Dog Dad Gifts - Father’s Day, Birthday & Just Because
No matter if you’re known as a dog dad, puppy daddy, dogfather, pawther, or papa — you love your pooch and being his or her proud parent. You brag about your buddy all the time, from how they are the best cuddler in the world to how they are a master at catching frisbees at the park. Let’s have some fun and look at the ways you know you are a dog dad.
You Know You’re a Dog Dad When…
- When you open your photo album on your phone, most of the pictures are of your dog. You have to capture all their cute moments, which honestly is every moment.
- Your dog has stolen your favorite spot on the couch and you sit somewhere else. You can’t disturb their rest!
- You’ve ever been excited about canceled plans because that means you get to spend more time with your dog.
- You’ve said longer goodbyes to your dog than to your family members.
- You leave the radio on or pick out a dog-attention-grabbing video whenever you leave the house.
- You’ve been forced out of your bed because your dog has hogged all the space. It truly is a feat of physics on the amount of space your dog can take in the bed!
- You’ve been late for work because your doggo was enjoying their morning scratch session and you didn’t want to stop.
Advantages of Being a Dog Dad
Being a dog dad can be a lot of work, but you know how rewarding it is to have your best friend greet you at the door every day with a wagging tail and some loving licks. Not only do you love your dog, but they are also good for you! Evidence suggests that dogs are beneficial in keeping you healthy by ensuring that you stay more active.
Dog owners have been found to be more active than those who do not own dogs, especially in those dreary cold months when it is still important to be active. Even though we may feel like lounging on the couch on those cold weather days, our canine companion will let us know when it is time to get up, get bundled, and get moving.
We know that dog ownership also helps with our mood too. Dog owners suffer from depression less frequently than those who do not own pets. When we are sad or nervous, our best bud is there to help keep us calm and our nerves from becoming more frazzled.
Another added positive of being a dog dad is having an advantage in the dating scene. Research has found that 50% of Americans may be more interested in going on a date with someone if they are a dog owner. Dog owners can be seen as being friendly and more approachable. If you are a single puppy papa, your dog is a long-term commitment and that can be seen as a positive factor to any potential mates.
If you are a dog parent shopping for your dog’s other parent, then you probably already know this research to be true. Your shared fur baby may have been the reason you started dating in the first place!

Save the Adorable Animals
Since we are a dog-centric company, we want to give back to our furry friends. We know that over the course of the pandemic many shelters were emptied due to people wanting companions while being confined at home.
However, with many returning to work, or maybe realizing the demand that pet ownership requires, many of these animals are being placed back in shelters and are again looking for their furever home.
PAWZ was created to raise awareness and funds for no-kill shelters. Through our partnership with Best Friends Animal Society, we want to save dogs’ lives and find them safe, loving homes. We donate 10% of our profits to no-kill shelters so they can keep their doors open while placing all the puppers with dog moms and dog dads.
It’s simple: PAWZ keeps you stylish, and you’re helping Best Friends Animal Society make our country no-kill for shelter pets.
