Recipes + DIY Projects for Dog Moms

I love making homemade healthy treats for the dogs and doing DIYs with my dogs in mind. The best part about all of these projects is that they give you an excuse to spend more time with your dog! Consider whipping up a simple treat tonight or crafting a dog inspired accent for your home.

DIY Dog Bone Christmas Stocking

Decorating for Christmas with dogs in the house can be a challenge. I'm always careful what ornaments I place on the tree at "tail height", and I don't usually put presents out until Christmas day unless I want them unwrapped early! With so many tempting things all...

Dog Mom Halloween Costume Idea: Snow White and Poison Apple

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays! Each year I've had to get more creative to come up with dog mom Halloween costume ideas that the dogs and I can do together. When it was just Lucy and me, we did a surfer and shark, Dorothy and the lion, and...

Try This: Super Healthy Goat Milk Pupsicle Recipe

Backyard Scavenger Hunt with Vita Bone

When it's just too hot to go for a walk I need to find another way to entertain Lucy. I love coming up with games that challenge her mentally and get her using her amazing sense of smell. Dogs' sense of smell is about 10,000 times better than a human! Temps have hit...
