Dog Mum & Pet Parent Gifts

For some people, the dog is the baby, the best friend and the reason they leave parties early. These pet parent gifts are for them. Each one is a scented candle with a message every dog mum will recognise, from "Dog mum era" to "My dog has a better life than me" and "Sorry, my dog needs me".

Gifts for dog mums and dog dads

Dog owners love being seen as dog owners. A candle that pokes fun at how spoilt their pet is makes a great birthday present, a "welcome home" gift for a new puppy owner or a thank you for a friend who always looks after your dog. It works for dog dads too: the jokes are about the pet, not the person.

A note on candles and pets

Pet owners are usually careful about what they burn at home. Light candles in a well-ventilated room, keep them on a stable surface out of reach of wagging tails and curious paws, and never leave a lit candle unattended. Many owners like to light theirs once the dog is settled in another room for the night.

Bigger gift ideas for pet lovers

Pair a candle with a new lead, a bag of posh dog treats or a framed photo of their pet for a gift that covers both of them. If you're shopping for someone who has just lost a pet, a funny candle may not feel right yet; our pet memorial range is a gentler choice.

Cats get a look in too

Cat people haven't been forgotten: look out for "Just want to stay in bed with my cat" in our friend gifts, and more designs as the range grows.

Some messages contain swearing, so read the wording before picking one for a relative who might not see the funny side.

Make it a complete present with dog birthday cards, cards featuring dogs, pet lover gifts, pet memorial gifts, all posted from the UK.
