10 Dog Birthday Party Ideas For Throwing Your Pup A Bash

Birthday parties are fun no matter who they are for. You know your dog is your best friend so show them some love by honoring them on their special day. Invite your friends to brings their dog as well. By channeling your creative side, you can put together an adorable party that your guests, and most importantly, your dog, will love. Here are some dog birthday party ideas your pup will adore. 

1. Send invitaions

A quick post on social media is a good way to get the word out about your party, but just because it’s for a dog, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make a formal invitation. You can still send it electronically to save money. Look online for cute templates or make your own. Check out Canva for thousands of templates and designs to inspire you. Alternatively, you can go to your local craft store and get inexpensive invitations you can fill out yourself and mail

2. Make dog friendly cakes/cupcakes

It’s not a party without cake. Treat your pup to a dog friendly cake that will make them feel the love. You don’t need any special ingredients to make it dog-friendly. Go with the cardinal rules of foods dogs should not eat, e.g. chocolate, grapes, onion. Gather simple ingredients like oats, applesauce, peanut butter and Greek yogurt and you have all you need.

3. Make puppy chow for party favors

Treat your human guests to some delicious snacks while they’re at the party. “Puppy” chow is one of the easiest dog birthday party ideas to make and it goes perfectly with the theme. For this recipe , you only need a few ingredients and you have a crowd favorite that will leave people licking their fingers. Simply mix Chex cereal with melted peanut butter, chocolate and powdered sugar and you have yourself and super sweet snack your guests will love.

4. Serve “toilet” water

Your guests will be cracking up when they see “toilet” water at your dog’s party. Obviously, you are not going to serve water that actually came from your toilet. Just mix water with blue food coloring or serve blue Kool-aid to give it that authentic look of a freshly cleaned toilet.
