With Mother’s Day fast approaching you might be looking for the purr-fect gift for a fur-mama in your life. They’re the pooper scoopers, dog walkers, personal chefs, ball throwers, treat dispensers and everything else in between.

To celebrate all the cat and dog mums that deserve a treat for their fabulous pet parenting, we take a look at some of the gifts you could buy a special pet parent in your life.

Airbnb

With a wide selection of pet-friendly accommodation on offer, giving an Airbnb voucher or gifting a short break means that furry friends can join in on the fun, too! From yurts hidden away in the woods to cottages on the coast, there’s something for everyone when it comes to getting away.

Coffee gift card

While some coffee shops don’t allow dogs inside, you can still sit outside with your pooch on a spring afternoon after a dog walk! Or why not order a drink to take out on your walk with you, instead? Whatever your plans, a coffee gift card can make the perfect present this Mother’s Day.

Donate to a charity

If they already have everything they need, why not make a donation in their name? Maybe they have a favourite animal they’d love to help or would like to support a local centre. No amount is too small when it comes to this thoughtful gift.

Joules

With options for fur-mum and pet, you’ll be able to spoil both with Joules. They offer all sorts from clothes to the hottest must-have accessories for humans and pooches alike! If you’re not quite sure on what to buy, a Joules gift card is also a great option. 

Marks and Spencer

With an M&S voucher you can buy anything from a meal for two, some chocolate (keep these away from snouts and paws) or a bouquet of flowers (make sure they’re not toxic for pets!). Or why not surprise them with all three?

National Trust voucher

You could treat her to a nice walk at one of your local (or nearest) National Trust houses or estates. With plenty dotted around the country, find the perfect dog walk to enjoy celebrating the day with your pet parent.
