Funny & Heartfelt Mother's Day Messages from the Dog (or Cat!)

Funny & Heartfelt Mother's Day Messages from the Dog (or Cat!)

Let's settle the debate right now: being a Pet Mom is a full-time job. Between the early morning walks, the endless supply of treats, and the constant vacuuming of pet hair, Dog Moms and Cat Moms deserve to be celebrated just as much as anyone else on Mother's Day!

But when you are buying a Mother's Day gift on behalf of the family pet, a generic pharmacy card with a picture of a random cartoon animal just doesn't cut it. You need something that captures their actual furry friend.

Whether you are shopping on behalf of a loyal Golden Retriever, a sassy Black Cat, or a stubborn Bulldog, we have put together the best Mother's Day messages to write in their card, plus we have paired them with our favorite breed-specific greeting cards you won't find anywhere else!

What to Write in a Mother's Day Card from the Dog

Dogs might not be able to hold a pen, but if they could, here is exactly what they would say to their favorite human. Pair these messages with one of our specific dog breed cards for the ultimate surprise.

Funny Messages from the Dog:

  • Happy Mother's Day to the woman who always picks up my poop. You are the real MVP.

  • I love you more than squirrels, the mailman, and even the squeaky toy I destroyed yesterday.

  • Happy Mother's Day! As a gift, I promise not to bark at the wind at 3:00 AM tonight. (Maybe).

  • To the best mom ever: Thank you for letting me sleep on the good furniture.

  • I might be the reason we can't have nice things, but I am also the reason we have so much fun!

Sweet Messages from the Dog:

  • Thank you for every belly rub, every long walk, and every time you sneak me a piece of cheese. I love you, Mom!

  • My tail hasn't stopped wagging since the day you brought me home. Happy Mother's Day!

  • I may not be your human child, but I am definitely your favorite.

What to Write in a Mother's Day Card from the Cat

Cats have a very... unique way of showing affection. A Mother's Day card from the cat should have the perfect mix of sass and sweetness.

Funny Messages from the Cat:

  • Happy Mother's Day! I love you so much that I decided not to knock your water glass off the table today.

  • Out of all the humans who open my cans of food, you are definitely my favorite.

  • I know I act like I don't need you, but who else is going to clean the litter box? Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

  • You are almost as amazing as an empty cardboard box. Almost.

Sweet Messages from the Cat:

  • Thank you for knowing exactly where the best scratching spots are. Happy Mother's Day!

  • My favorite place in the whole world is curled up right next to you.

  • Even when I am hiding under the bed, I am still thinking about how much I love you.
