We all know there ain’t no ‘hood like fur-fatherhood. Pet parents everywhere put in so much effort into training their pets and working long hours so he/she can have a better life. As Father’s Day is fast approaching, you are probably looking for some ideas on how to spoil the boys in your life. Look no further, we have compiled the ultimate list for you.

FOOD

Personalised mug – every dog dad I know loves showing off his pooch at every opportunity. What better way to do this than with a personalised coffee mug. The first coffee of the day is the most important one, so make sure your mug makes dad smile!  

Personalised food bowl – don’t forget about all the dog dads too, they often have the important responsibility in caring for new pups after they’re born by taking them out to play and teaching them how to get into mischief!

FASHION

Dog dad hoodie – keep Dad warm this winter with a Dog Dad hoodie, you want all the other dogs in the neighbourhood to know that this is YOUR human! If you want to go super over the top you could also get dad a hat too!

Pupper hoodie – doggos get cold too, you know! Check out the sweet custom hoodies from Central Coast based Dogbae. You can choose one of their designs or make one of your own. Can you imagine the looks you will both get when you’re out walking?!

KEEPING WARM

Personalised socks – in case Dad didn’t tell you, he hates wearing boring socks. He wants to rock up to that Monday morning meeting with his adorable pupper on his socks. Talking about socks is much more exciting than whatever that meeting is about anyway.

Personalised blanket - If Dad gets personalised socks, it’s only fair that doggo gets something too. Make your pooch’s day by getting him a blanket with their favourite human’s face ALL over it! It might be slightly creepy to sleep with but if doggo is happy, we are happy.

PLAYTIME

Custom jigsaw – Jigsaw puzzles are not just for children, they’re a great way to relax at the end of a big day. Create a mosaic of faces or choose a nice place to take a photo, this will provide hours of fun for the whole family. The puzzles from Jigsaw Puzzles Australia are all made in Ballarat Victoria

Puzzle toy – while dad is working on his puzzle at the coffee table, doggo should also have a puzzle to solve. There's so many different kinds to choose from!

RELAXING

Go out for dog beers together – If you’re anything like me, you love to have a pint in the sun with your buddy by your side. If your pup is anything like mine, they will try and steal your beer too! Why don’t you celebrate this Father’s Day by going for an afternoon of quiet beers together. If you’re in Melbourne, check out this fantastic list of places to take your best friend.
