Kind messages about getting a new dog
There’s no doubt that you’ll be wanting an excuse to go round and visit the new furry friend and what better reason to do so than giving over your new dog card in person? You could even be super sweet and wish them a happy new puppy day with one of our kind message ideas:
- Congratulations on your new furry friend, having a dog in the home changes your life for the better.
- If there’s one good thing about being an adult, it’s being able to welcome an adorable pooch as part of your family.
- Wishing you and your new fur baby all the best!
- I know how long you’ve both been looking to get a puppy, congrats on officially becoming pet parents!
- I hope you’re ready for me to come over to yours all the time and play with [insert dog’s name], personally I can’t wait for all the snuggle sessions.

Funny message ideas for people with a new dog
We’ve all seen those funny dog compilations on YouTube, so it’s really quite fitting to include a humorous message inside your card. But if you can’t get your jokes to actually be funny, here are some we’ve come up with:
- Have you told the grumpy ol’ cat about this newcomer yet? If not, good luck with that.
- As long as you’ve got all the essentials including a giant supply of pee pads and a whole load of patience then I’m sure you’ll be just fine – you got this!
- Does this mean kids are off the cards for a while then? I was hoping to become a proper grandparent soon and a dog doesn’t count!
- Guess there’s going to be more than one b*tch in your house now…
- Good luck making sure that they don’t annoy the neighbours.
- I hope you realise just how big of a financial commitment a dog is, all those trips to the vets over nothing serious quickly add up (trust me on this one).
