Is your pooch more than just a canine
companion? Having a dog
birthday party isn’t all that far fetched (non pun
intended). We have some party tips that
will make your fur-baby’s party a success.
Host a Pooch Party
Invite your closest 2 and 4-legged friends,
hosting a birthday party gathering with
goodies for humans and canines alike. Go extravagant, or keep it simple with a
BYOB (bring your own beer and biscuits) theme.
Try a New Recipe
Find an interesting recipe for DIY dog
treats, making a few festive canine cookies to go
with your own. Invite your friends for a cookie swap party, taste testing and
exchanging recipes.
Get Dolled Up
Begin your day with a pampering session,
indulging in a manicure and pedicure while your dog does the same. Schedule
your pooch for a grooming
session, complete with a nail buff and polish or a therapeutic
massage. Put on
fancy or festive attire, such as a matching sweater set, and get ready to
P-A-R-T-Y!
Schedule a Few Fun Activities
Put out a few fun toys, or play some games.
●
Find the Treats
Hide a few kibbles around your house for your pooch and his friends to find.

Which Hand?
Take a treat and hide it in one of your hands. Close both fists and present them to your dog, having them choose which hand it’s in.

Tug of War
This is a great one for those with space, but play with caution. For some breeds, it can create a bit too much excitement.

Puzzle & Interactive Toys
Purchasing chase-able or chewable treat-dispensing toys is a fun, low-maintenance game option.

Note: Making sure you have ample toys and treats for
all pooches participating reduces pup possessiveness.
Take & Post Some Pics
Whether you’re hosting a big soiree or having
a small intimate gathering, take a few
shots with your pooch, posting them on social media to connect with friends. If
you’re feeling artsy, find a few of your favorite shots from the year, include
them with your birthday photo and create a personalized calendar for the coming
year.
Our fur-babies aren’t with us forever, sadly. Celebrate every moment
of their lives. Schedule a birthday day
party and let all their friends celebrate with you.
