9 Fun Finds For Throwing the Ultimate Dog Birthday Party
Ain’t no party like a puppy party. Updated April 2021.
Anyone else get almost as excited about their dog’s birthday as their own?
I have to admit that when Dave first joined our family, “barkdays” weren’t really on my radar. But around his first half-birthday, we were working on a partnership with Brandy from Buster’s Party Shop, and she surprised me by sending over a tiny and adorable “1/2” birthday hat. Honestly, I’ve been a goner since then.
We’ve thrown themed Harry Pawter birthday parties, unicorn birthday parties, baby shark birthday parties, and some pretty epic half-birthday parties.
To be fair, I’m always looking for things to celebrate. (Pi Day is a big deal in our house!) But I really do love planning little parties for our pups. Seeing their wagging tails when they get some puppy ice cream or a special birthday treat just makes my heart happy.
In that spirit, I’ve rounded up some of our favorite finds for throwing an epic barkday party—whether that’s with a bunch of puppy friends or just you and your dog at home together.
