01. Head out for breakfast at a dog friendly cafe
If you're looking for a way to celebrate Mother's Day with your fur baby by your side, why not head out to a dog-friendly cafe for a delicious breakfast? We have compiled a list of the best pet-friendly cafes in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. These cafes offer delicious human food and also welcome dogs with open arms, providing water bowls, treats, and even doggy menus.

02. Enjoy a morning at the Farmer’s Markets
Most weekend farmer’s markets understand the need to spend time with your fur baby and allow you to bring your pooch while you shop for market treats and fresh fruit + veg. Wandering the market and perusing the stalls with your best furry friend is a lovely way to spend Mother’s Day.
The following markets run every Sunday and are pet-friendly, as long as pets are kept on leash.
In Brisbane, try the Riverside At The Gardens Market, Milton Markets, or Northey Street Markets for a morning out together.
On the Gold Coast visit Racecourse Markets in Bundall and the Lavelle Street Markets in Nerang.
03. Make some memories
Mother's Day is all about celebrating the bond between a mother and her child, and for pet mums, that bond extends to our furry babies. This Mother's Day, why not treat yourself (and your fur babies) to a memorable and enjoyable photo session?
A photo session with our friends at Double M Pet Photography is a fun and unique way to celebrate this special day, creating lasting memories that you can treasure for years to come. Not only will you get to spend quality time with your pets, but you'll also get to see their personalities captured in stunning photographs. Matt and Maddi at Double M Pet Photography will make you feel at ease, helping you relax and have fun while capturing the special connection between you and your pets.
04. Enjoy an outdoor or drive-in movie
Brisbane City Council often holds special events for Mother’s Day. This year, Movie Night with Mum: Cinema in the Suburbs, is being offered on the evening of Saturday the 13th. Leashed pets are welcome, and you can pack a picnic full of your favourite treats.
For those based on the Gold Coast, The Yatala Drive-In Movies are one of the few cinemas where pets are allowed. Pack blankets, make a nest and cuddle up to your pooch as Hollywood stars grace the screen.
05. Get Pampered
Massage is the ultimate relaxation on Mother’s Day. Take care of your body mind and soul by visiting our friend Kat from Canine and Co. Based in beautiful Guanaba, Kat is a qualified Canine Myofunctional Therapist and human massage therapist with over a decade of experience in deep tissue/trigger point therapy and relaxation. She also practises Reiki. Kat offers parent and pup treatments so you can book a massage for both you and your pup at the same time!
We hope these five ideas have inspired you to take a break, get out of the normal routine and plan something special for yourself and your fur baby. Whatever way you choose to celebrate the day, we wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day!
