#1 Set a Date

Finding the right day to celebrate your pup’s birthday might be tricky if you don’t know their exact birthday. But fret not! Your pup is sure to enjoy themselves no matter which day you choose. All you have to do is pick a nice day with great weather, when you and your pup’s friends are available for a dog birthday bash.

#2 Find a Venue

Finding a canine-friendly venue for your pup is essential. You could even theme your pup’s party around the venue with cute dog birthday decorations. After all, doesn’t a pool party with your pups sound great? If so, treat your pup to the ultimate VIP experience at The Wagington, a hotel and resorts venue located at Loewen Road, fit for pups of all ages!

If you’re looking for a casual brunch place, Happenstance Cafe at Opal Crescent is great for its ambience and delicious doggy meals. Serve up Puppy Cake’s refreshing Lactose-Free Ice Cream Mix for dessert and simply have a good time with your pup!

#3 Prepare Tasty Treats

There’s nothing better than a delicious treat to mark a special day, so gift your pup tasty treats on their birthday. If your dog loves flavourful meaty treats, Zeal’s natural air dried dog treats are sure to make great dog birthday treats!

No birthday party is complete without a dog birthday cake. Thinking about where to get a dog cake? How about one handmade with love? Puppy Cake’s easy Microwaveable Dog Cake Mix is delicious and easy to whip up on your pup’s special day. All it takes is an egg, some water, vegetable oil, and a whole lot of love!

#4 Send Invites

Have any friends and family who love your pup just as much as you do? Send them an invite to celebrate your dog’s birthday with you! The more the merrier - especially on your dog’s special day.

(Do remember to stay safe and adhere to safety regulations during the current COVID-19 situation while you’re planning your pup’s special day.)

If your pup has any furry friends that are comfortable hanging with each other in close quarters, invite them over too! But you may want to check if they’re comfortable with dogs they’ve never met before. 

You may also want to prepare some dog party bags with dog party hats, dog napkins and some of KONG’s HandiPod’s for door gifts - just to make sure your guests don’t leave a mess!
