So… What’s a Dog Dad, Actually?
A dog dad is the guy whose entire personality shifted the day he got a dog. He’s not just feeding kibble and walking laps — he’s whispering baby talk at 7 am and referring to himself as “Daddy” without irony.
The Modern Dog Dad Definition
You won’t find this in a dictionary (yet), but here’s our take:
Dog Dad (noun):
A man emotionally attached to his dog in ways previously reserved for children, houseplants, or lovers.
Often found Googling “is my dog happy?” at 1 AM.
Signs You Might Be a Dog Dad
- You speak to your dog in a higher voice than your therapist.
- You say “we” when referring to plans (because yes — the dog is coming).
- You’ve rearranged furniture for optimal sunbeam access.
- You’ve wiped paws with filtered water (at least once).
- Your camera roll = 95% your dog, 5% food, 0% shame.
Why It Matters
Being a dog dad isn’t a joke — it’s a lifestyle. It means showing up for the walk even when it's raining. Reading ingredient labels. Planning weekends around tail wags. Choosing tees that say I love my dog without screaming it.
Are You One of Us?
You don’t need a certain breed or pedigree. You just need love, snacks, and a sense of pride (even when it’s chaotic).
If you’ve ever said “no borks while daddy’s working” — congratulations. You already belong.
