1. Choose the Perfect Present Let's admit it: Our dogs are spoiled every day, but their birthdays provide a legitimate reason for some serious doggy spoilage! Whether your pooch loves tennis balls, Kongs, or softer homemade toys, there's no better time than its birthday to explore the toy aisle at your pet store. Another fun idea is to fill a room with tennis balls and watch the excitement ensue.
2. Deck the Halls Just as you help decorate for countless birthday parties, it's only fitting to deck the halls for your precious pooch's birthday. Balloons and streamers are standard, but you can go the extra mile with doggy-themed decorations. Create a cute, bone-shaped banner, sprinkle dog-friendly confetti, or craft a chalkboard sign with the drink and snack menu. For those less crafty, online doggy-themed banners are available.
3. Make Dog-Friendly Pupcakes Surprisingly, many dog-friendly birthday cakes are also human-friendly. Use everyday baking ingredients like whole-wheat flour, baking soda, eggs, and applesauce or baby food to whip up an amazing canine cake. Add shredded veggies like carrots for nutrients and top it with cream cheese, peanut butter, or blended bananas. If baking seems daunting, treat your dog to peanut butter paired with its favorite treats.
4. Doggie Ice Cream While real ice cream isn't ideal for your dog's stomach, create a puppy-approved version at home using bananas, plain yogurt, and creamy peanut butter. Freeze the mixture overnight for a delightful frozen treat. Alternatively, make puppy ice pops with a basic ingredient: chicken or beef broth poured into a mold and frozen.
5. DIY Some Cute Party Wear Enhance the celebration by dressing up your pup. Create an adorable party hat using non-toxic materials like construction paper or foam paper. Decorate with markers, pompoms, tassels, or any other accouterments that will make your pupper feel extra festive. If your dog dislikes hats, make a no-sew bandana or tutu with fabric glue or hemming tape.
6. Invite the Entire Squad A puppy party isn't complete without your dog's entire gang. Invite them over for a day of running, snacks, and sniffing in celebration of your furry family member's birth. Provide water and healthy snacks like portioned dog treats, frozen bananas, baby carrots, and green beans. Keep a close eye on the furry guests during playtime.
7. Don't Forget About the Humans Besides cute dog shenanigans, entice your human guests with delicious party foods and drinks. Prepare favorites like chicken wings, spinach and artichoke dip, and deviled eggs. Serve beer, wine, or create a custom cocktail in honor of your doggy's day.
8. Set Up a Photo Booth Capture the memories with a photo booth. Create your backdrop, gather props, and encourage your guests to snap photos for Instagram or Facebook with a custom hashtag. It's a fun way to see all the festivities in one place.
9. Play Games Incorporate basic training techniques into fun games for your dog-friendly party. Have plenty of toys and treats for hide-and-seek and fetch, which reinforce commands like "sit," "stay," "come," and "fetch." For a more advanced game, try "Snoopy Says," a canine version of Simon Says.
10. Make Paw-ty Favors for Guests No birthday party is complete without a favor bag. Include small toys like a tennis ball or chew toy, dog bones or jerky sticks, a party hat or bandana, and some on-the-go treats for the humans
