Father’s Day is right around the corner. Keep reading to get ideas for dog dad gifts and see why we love our pup’s paw-thers so much.
Dog Dads We Love
Andrew Laske & Benji the Bernedoodle
Andrew Laske is the ultimate dad dog. He travels the world with his 6-year-old Bernedoodle, Benji, and they go on all sorts of adventures together. Benji is a trained psychiatric service animal, which means he can travel on flights with Andrew to their latest destination.
The pair does absolutely everything together, whether it’s kayaking, rollerblading, flying on an airplane, or road-tripping in a van. Check out @lilmanlife on Instagram and TikTok to see all the dog dad fun that Andrew has with Benji.
Since these two are always on the road, it’s important for Benji to eat quality food that’s easy to travel with. That’s why Andrew feeds his pup Sundays air-dried dog food. Even though Sundays is made with fresh ingredients, it’s shelf-stable and can be safely packed in a suitcase.
Scott Hubbard & Garrett the Goldendoodle
A familiar dog dad you might have seen on your TikTok feed is Scott Hubbard – AKA @scottyhubs. Scott is the dog dad to a fluffy 6-month-old Goldendoodle named Garrett and a human dad to his daughter, Aubree.
Garrett and Scott love going on walks and meeting new friends at the dog park. On the weekdays, Scott cooks dinner on the grill with Garrett acting as his assistant chef and chief tasting officer! Nights at the Hubbard house are filled with dog snuggles on the couch and watching lots of movies.
“He’s always there when I need him and is super affectionate,” Scott said about his pup. “Since I work from home, we keep each other company. He also loves playing with his little sister, Aubree. They keep me busy!”
Follow @scottyhubs to see more of Garrett and Scott’s shenanigans. You can also find them on the Sundays TikTok account.
Alex Lopez, Zeke and Penni
Alex Lopez loves being a dog dad so much that he calls his dog training business The DogFather Dog Institute. He is the pet parent to 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog, Zeke, and 5-year-old English Bull Terrier, Penni. The pups are Alex’s “two best friends in the whole world” and they even help him train other dogs.
“I have been a dog trainer for 8 years now and Zeke and Penni help me every day with my Board & Train Program and training lessons,” Alex said. “They serve as example dogs and furry friends for all the dogs I get the honor to work with.”
Take a look at @dogfather360 on TikTok and Instagram to see Alex, Penni, and Zeke in action. The DogFather videos can teach you how to effectively train your dogs right at home. Alex even uses Sundays for Dogs during his training sessions to reward pups for good behavior!
“There are so many reason I feel lucky to be a dog dad, but one of my favorites would have to be the unconditional love my dogs provide even when I, as the human, may make mistakes or have a rough day. I can always count on my dogs to be there for me and help me through the tough times.”
