Let’s be honest: Your dog isn’t just a dog.

 

They’re your baby. Your shadow. Your emotional support on long days. The one who somehow knows exactly when you need a cuddle (or a little chaos). That bond? It’s real. And if you’re a dog mom, you feel it every single day.

 

Being a dog mom is a privilege. And it shows up in different ways. So with Mother’s Day around the corner, we thought we’d ask the important question:

 

What kind of dog mom are you, really?

Let’s find out.

 

The Dog Mom Quiz (Be Honest!)

1.Your dog wakes you up early. You…

A. Already awake. Walk time.

B. Stretch, cuddle, then get up slowly.

C. Panic. Are they okay? Why are they up?

D. Pretend to sleep for five more minutes.

 

2. Your camera roll looks like…

A. Park days, walks, action shots.

B. Cozy naps and soft moments.

C. 500 close-ups of their face.

D. Random. But yes, mostly your dog.

 

3. Treat time means…

A. Only after good behavior.

B. A little reward here and there.

C. They blinked. That deserves a treat.

D. Wait… where did I put the treats?

 

4. A typical walk is…

A. Structured and consistent.

B. Relaxed, letting them explore.

C. You watching them the entire time.

D. Wherever they want to go.

 

5. When your dog seems “off,” you…

A. Observe first, then act if needed.

B. Give extra love and monitor.

C. Google everything immediately.

D. Assume they’re fine… probably.

 

6. Bedtime situation?

A. Their own bed, same spot every night.

B. Somewhere comfy nearby.

C. In your bed. Obviously.

D. Wherever they end up.

 

7. Buying for your dog feels like…

A. Purposeful. Only what they need.

B. A mix of needs and cute finds.

C. Everything. They deserve it all.

D. Last-minute but it works out.

 

Your Results

Mostly A’s: The Structured Queen

You bring consistency, routine, and balance. Dogs thrive on structure, and you naturally provide it. Training, exercise, and proper care? You’ve got it covered.

 

Mostly B’s: The Cozy Caregiver

Your dog feels safe, calm, and deeply loved. You focus on comfort and connection, which is key… especially for young or anxious pups.

 

Mostly C’s: The Devoted (Slightly Obsessed) Mom

You’re tuned into every detail, and that’s a good thing. Being attentive helps you spot changes early and stay proactive about your dog’s health.

 

Mostly D’s: The Go-With-The-Flow Mom

You keep things easy, natural, and fun. Your dog enjoys freedom and flexibility. Add a little structure, and you’ve got the perfect balance.

 

What Your Dog Actually Needs

No matter your result, every dog benefits from a mix of:

 

  • Routine
  • Mental and physical stimulation
  • Proper nutrition
  • And, of course, love

Some moms lean one way more than others. And that’s okay! It’s all about finding what works for you and your pup.

We See Every Type. And We Love It

We meet all kinds of dog moms every day. First-time puppy parents, seasoned pros, and the ones already planning their pup’s birthday party.

 

Wherever you fall, we’re here to help you do it right – from choosing the perfect puppy to giving them the best start possible.

 

Happy Mother’s Day, Dog Moms

However you show up for your pup (structured, cozy, chaotic, or all of the above!), you’re doing something special.

Because to them?

You’re not just their mom.

You’re their whole world.

My husband and I came in to visit to look at the puppies and options they have. They gave us a good amount of time to get to know a puppy, but we had another puppy in mind too. They did a great job with handling customers. The staff quickly wanted to know the purpose and how serious we were on buying before they gave out a second puppy, which I understand. However, we were interested but this also turned us off. The puppies were individually confined which is not great environmentally and socially for them. (My opinion, but to each their own.) Otherwise, it was not bad of an experience. I will come back. Just things to consider. We will keep them in mind for a specific breed only.

We had a great experience at XO with our first dog so it was a no-brainer to return when we were looking to add another puppy to our family. We had an equally great experience the second time around, and happy to find another perfect match.
