You’re heading to a baby shower soon—adorable onesies in one hand, a registry checklist in the other. But if your friend is a dog parent, there’s a gift they probably need more than another burp cloth…
A professional dog walking package.
Seriously.
At Praline’s Backyard Dog Services, we work with Atlanta parents who often tell us, “I wish someone had gifted this to us before the baby came.” So if your friend has a pup and a baby on the way, you’ve just found the most thoughtful, supportive, and sanity-saving gift they didn’t know to ask for.
The Real Problem New Parents Face (That No One Talks About)
Externally, they’re dealing with feedings, naps, and zero sleep.
Internally, they feel torn—overwhelmed with love for their newborn but heartbroken over their neglected pup.
Philosophically, they want a peaceful home, but it’s hard to juggle everything.
That’s where you come in. You can be the hero by giving them a gift that brings calm, connection, and care.
Why a Dog Walker is the Best Baby Shower Gift for Dog Owners
✅ Keeps the Dog Happy – Dogs need exercise and attention, but let’s be real—new parents can’t always give it. A regular walker ensures their dog’s routine stays consistent.
✅ Reduces Guilt & Stress – Your friend loves their dog deeply. Giving them permission to not do it all is priceless.
✅ Prevents Behavior Problems – Bored dogs act out. Our enrichment-based walks give them the mental and physical stimulation they crave.
✅ Gives the Whole Family a Break – Whether it’s those early recovery days or long nights, having reliable help can change the postpartum experience.
How to Give It as a Gift
