Proposing With A Dog: 4 Ways to Fur-ever Love

#1. Your dog as the ring bearer

Is your dog well trained? Consider tying the ring to your dog’s collar!

If you’re worried about the ring getting lost, you can try ring boxes, pillows or pouches to hold the ring in place.

#2. The puppy proposal

A proposal with a puppy? Talk about a sure-fire way to melt their heart!

This idea is especially memorable if you and your partner have already been considering welcoming a puppy into your lives.

Surprising your soon-to-be-spouse with a puppy and a ring on the same day is the kind of marriage proposal us dog moms dream about.

How could anyone say anything but a definitive “YES!” to a puppy proposal?

#3. Have your dog ask for you

Another thoughtful idea is to order a new dog collar, tag, bandana or dog accessory that pops the question, so you don’t have to!

Many dog accessory brands allow personalized messages too, which you can engrave with, “Will you marry me?”

The love of your life certainly wouldn’t be expecting this idea!

#4. Dress up your pup

Why not dress up with your dog? This is a special occasion after all!

You could dress your dog in a dapper bow tie and place the ring box next to them.

Or, you could both get dressed up in matching fancy outfits to surprise your partner.

You could either do this at home and prepare a nice dinner to go with it, or even take it outdoors for a special picnic proposal!
