5 Fun Ways to Celebrate a Dog’s Birthday

Your canine companion may have no idea what day of the week it is, let alone when their birthday is, but that doesn’t mean you should let it go by just like any regular day. It’s a great excuse to shower them in affection, pamper them and just show them how much you really love them.

No birthday is complete without a birthday cake, but for our beloved dogs the cake we buy isn’t as safe for our four-legged friends. As chocolate cakes or fruit cakes can cause stomach upsets to your pup and contain toxic ingredients. With a dog friendly cake, they can enjoy their birthday with a delicious treat.

The Barking Bakery Vanilla Woofin with Carbo Frosting is a fun, dog safe alternative to a slice of birthday cake. Not only is it dog safe but it’s the perfect size for an individual dog. Great for multi dog households or dog parties to allow every pup to have their own woofin muffin, with no waste! As they’re free from any sugar or harmful ingredients, it’s a delicious safe treat for your birthday boy or girl to enjoy.

Everyone loves a bit of a pamper on their birthday, it lets you relax and gets you feeling good as new for the rest of the day. You can start any birthday off right with a pamper session at The Spa. Our professional team can have your birthday pup practically sparkling for their big day.

Go all out and give your beloved canine companion the platinum spa treatment at the Jollyes Spa, which will have them squeaky clean from head to toe. The platinum treatment includes shampoo and conditioner treatment, to get their coat nice and clean. It also includes a paw trim and paw butter to get their paw pads as soft as they were when they were a puppy. They get a teeth cleaning and a cologne spritz so they’re ready for whatever the rest of the day holds.

Dogs are practically children to their owners and what do kids get plenty of for their birthday? Toys! For pups who love to play with toys, having a new chew toy can spark their interest and really enrich their lives. They might be tired of the same old boring toys so why not get them something they’re going to love?

There are lots of birthday themed toys to make sure they know they’re special. The Denzels Birthday Box Dog Treats & Card is great for smaller birthday pups, especially ones who might like the squeaker hidden inside to have lots of fun with. The Ancol Birthday Pawty Present Plush Dog Toy is another great option for dogs who love a soft toy.

For bigger pups, the Ancol 'It’s My Birthday' Blue Present Large Dog Toy is great for playing tuggy with them and has two handle so you can really have a fun game with them on their special day.

What better way to make memories than by making something you can keep forever? Pictures last a lifetime so it’s great to grab a few of any important events. You can go all out with accessories with the Ancol 'Its My Birthday' Blue Hat and Bandana Dog Accessory or the Ancol 'Its My Birthday' Pink Hat and Bandana Dog Accessory. With a cute little hat and bandana, there’s no mistaking whose special day it is!

If your pooch isn’t keen on hats and bandanas, you can get something a little less imposing like the Ancol 'Its My Birthday' Pawty Dog Collar Accessories and Ancol 'Its My Birthday' Blue Collar Dog Accessories. They’re much easier to just attach to their collar they’re wearing so if they’re not used to wearing clothes, these cute little birthday accessories can make them feel extra special for their important day.

Everyone loves to do something they enjoy on their day so what better gift to give your pup than a doggy play date with all their best friends?
