5 Easy Homemade Paw Print Cards You Can Make a Pet Dad for Father's Day

Father's Day cards for pet dads live in a gap. The "dad" section doesn't quite fit, and the "pet" section is mostly novelty items that aren’t personal.

The pet dad in your life deserves something that actually reflects his life — which includes a dog who thinks he's the center of the universe, a cat who has decided he's acceptable, or some other creature who picked him specifically.

These Pawsome Greetings™ DAD templates are designed so the pet does the most important part. His pet presses their paw onto the A in DAD while the illustrated design does all the creative heavy lifting.

Any pet species. Any paw size. Download, print, press, done.

Here are 5 of my favorite paw print Father's Day card templates:

Hey, I'm Kelly, an artist and designer...

... and proud mom to a big, goofy three-legged dog and his feline sidekick, a tiny cat with a purr-sonality twice his size. My passion? Turning slobbery kisses and cuddles into keepsakes that’ll make you smile from ear to floppy ear. I believe in making creativity as accessible as a stroll in the dog park – no artistic pedigree required!
