To say we had fun at the Dog Mom AF event last week in New York City would be a complete understatement. We had a freakin’ blast! We were so excited to have all three of us gals together in the big apple, but to top it off, Wear Wag Repeat and WTFrenchie were also going to be in town! So why not get all of us #crazydogladies together?! We wanted to meet all of you fellow dog moms and get to know y’all, sip on some dranks and support The Best Friends Animal Society! And that’s exactly what we did!

First thing’s first. How amazing is d.b.a? For all you puppy baby mamas that don’t live in New York, it is a 100% dog-friendly bar in the Lower East Side. That’s right, 150% dog-friendly! We had about 150 dog moms and their pups show up to the party and d.b.a was so great about keeping the drinks flowing! It was so amazing to surrounded by amazing women who love their dogs just as much as we do. This was for sure a no-judgement zone when it came to all the crazy dog mom things we all do!

Thank you so much to some of our favorite NYC based companies that came out as well! You all know we have a deep love for Rebel Dawg, their tags and so much fun, cheeky and they basically have a tag for every dog personality out there!

And last, but not least, thank you to Best Friends Animal Society for being at the first ever Dog Mom AF event and sharing your love and knowledge for the pups that need it the most!
