Your dog might not understand the concept of a birthday, but they absolutely understand treats, attention, and fun.
Dog-Friendly Birthday Treats
- Pupcake: A dog-safe cupcake made with banana, peanut butter (xylitol-free), and oat flour.
- Frozen treat: Blend banana with plain yoghurt, pour into a mould, and freeze.
- Special meal: Cook plain chicken, sweet potato, and carrots.
- New toy: Dogs love the crinkly wrapping paper as much as the toy inside.
Birthday Keepsakes
- Annual paw print: Take a paw print each birthday to create a growing collection.
- Birthday photo: Same pose, same location each year.
- Bandana or bow tie: A birthday bandana makes for adorable photos.
Safety Notes
- Never give dogs chocolate, grapes, raisins, xylitol, or onions
- Check all peanut butter for xylitol before using in treats
- Keep human party food out of reach
