With Easter coming, you might be trying to come up with ideas for gifts for your family members. You don’t just have to limit your celebrations and your gift giving to your two-legged family but you can include your four-legged fur babies as well! If you’re trying to come up with some dog friendly Easter treats, we have some creative and crafty ideas to help your canine companion feel included.Â
What can I buy my dog for Easter?
Every dog is a little different and finding them something to feel included for easter will depend entirely on what they like. There are plenty of options, whether you want to give them something to play with or if you want to include them in indulging in treats with you, your options are expansive. Â
Easter dog toysÂ
If your canine companion enjoys play above all else then why not get them a new fun toy to play with? New toys are especially helpful if you have a busy few days ahead of you and your pooch has to have some alone time. With some new toys to play with, they’ll hardly even notice you’ve gone. You can celebrate in style with themed gifts like this cute Kong Snuzzles Kiddos Bunny Dog Toy. Made from tough, pet-safe material and filled with a full body squeaker, it’s nice and easy to grab to make it comfortable and maximise their enjoyment. They’ll be squeaking the day away with this Easter themed bunny gift. Â
Since Easter comes at the start of spring, you can also make the most out of the drier weather by getting your pooch a toy they can enjoy out on walks. Through winter, you might have found yourself leaving the toys at home so they don’t get lost. Many poor tennis balls go missing through winter, likely getting lost in muddy fields. Now that there’s some fresh dry ground, you can have fun with your pooch by levelling up your game of fetch with the NERF Dog Mini Deluxe Air Strike Thrower. You can celebrate Easter and the warmer weather with a fun game.Â
Dog Easter eggÂ
What is Easter without copious amounts of chocolate eggs that keep your snack drawer? Throughout Easter, you need to be careful to keep your beloved pet well away from your stash of chocolates. Dogs and chocolate are two things that don’t mix, a surprisingly small amount can be toxic to your pooch. To avoid a trip to the vets over the Easter holiday, keep your eggs away, but that doesn’t mean your fur baby can’t enjoy some extra special treats. In fact, they can even have their very own Easter egg! Â
Rosewood Chocolate Easter Egg for Dogs is the perfect Easter treat for your pooch. It’s their own egg made from dog safe chocolate, free from theobromine.Â
Easter dog treatsÂ
You aren’t just limited to an Easter egg when it comes to celebrating the occasion with your pooch. If they’re as much of a chocoholic as you are, you can find a whole host of different chocolate treats to satisfy them this Easter. Rosewood Dog Safe Chocolate Drops is the same dog safe chocolate recipe in a smaller package. The chocolate drop treats are great as a little bedtime snack, or you can use them as training treats for your canine companion. Â
They come in a resealable pouch and contain added vitamins and minerals so they’re a boost to their nutrients rather than having a negative impact. Tail Twisters Doggy Woof Bar Dog Treat is the perfect treat for your pooch to share with their doggy friends this Easter. If you’re having a doggy get-together, a nice bar of chocolate will be plenty for everyone. Â
Not every person loves chocolate, and your pup might be the doggy equivalent, but you can find all kinds of treats to better suit them this Easter.Â
How can I involve my dog in Easter?
There are lots of ways you can involve your pup this Easter, whether you just take them along to some family visits and get togethers or you get a little creative with how to include them. Â
Dog Easter egg huntÂ
Even with their own Easter egg, in the spirit of not overfeeding your beloved pets this Easter, you may need to tweak a few things to plan a dog Easter egg hunt. Rather than letting them search for their dog safe Easter egg and gobbling the whole thing down in one go, you can replace the egg with a Kong Classic Dog Toy. They come in a variety of sizes, and you can stuff them with whatever your pooch likes. If they’re on a diet, you can even soak their biscuits and stuff it within their normal diet. Having fun doesn’t always mean adding a lot more calories to their diet! However, if you do fill it with treats or with the company’s very own easy fill Kong Stuff n Liver, you may just need to feed a smaller dinner to balance their nutritional intake. Â
Even puppies can join in on the fun of an Easter egg hunt with the softer Kong Puppy Toy. It’s exactly the same as the adult kong but made with a softer rubber for those little baby teeth to manage. Â
Dog Easter outfitÂ
If you’re making the rounds and visiting everyone on Easter, what better way to make everyone smile than to have your pooch in a fresh Easter outfit? You can try a nice sweater or coat like the House of Paws Polo Neck Knit. Your pup will be best dressed at the party, even if they have four legs and bark! If your pup doesn’t appreciate a good sweater, then maybe a new collar or harness is the way to go. Bring in spring with floral patterns to match the sprouting flowers and new life all around you. Â
Â
This pretty Rufus & Rosie Dog Collar Daisy is subtle or you can go all out with bright Easter colours with the Ancol Soho Sunflower & Check Dog Harness. You can give your pooch a break from the drab winter weather and outfits with some nice springtime colours for their wardrobe. Â
Where can I take my dog for Easter?
After the grind of winter with the dark mornings and early sunsets, Easter is a great time to get away with your loved ones and have a nice break. This doesn’t always mean you have to book your canine companion into kennels or employ the help of friends or family to look after them. They’re part of the family too, so why not take them with you? Â
Dog friendly Easter breaksÂ
It’s increasingly easy to take your pooch with you on a staycation within the UK. From renting a caravan, a whole home or just finding a hotel room that allows dogs, the process isn’t too difficult. You may have to pay an extra fee to take your pup, but most places, especially tourist traps are very dog friendly. If you and your beloved pet love to visit the beach, Easter might be the perfect weekend to go. Many beaches are only seasonally dog friendly and allow your four-legged friend to accompany you until the weather gets warmer in May. An Easter getaway to the coast might be the perfect getaway you need. Â
If you’re looking to go a little further afield with your pup, it couldn’t be easier with dog friendly travel to France, many families take their pooch abroad as well! If you’re taking your pup overseas, it takes a little extra paperwork, but it’s relatively straight forward. There are plenty of ways you can involve your furry family members this Easter, visit us in store and online for some great ideas. Â
