Choosing the right gift for your dog

Happy birthday no longer applies only to the human being. Dogs are celebrated for birthdays, adoption days, or even weddings. As with all celebrations, cakes and gifts are expected and appreciated. How to plan, what to buy, and how many guests to invite are just some of the questions to ask yourself.

There are many opportunities to celebrate your pets’ special day and you will both be happy for your decision. Dog bakeries will prepare a personalized cake for your occasion. Gifts abound in any pet store. Dog bakeries are popping up at regular intervals and dog cafes often plan their party for you. That can include lunch and cake for your beautiful baby. Fur children have acquired a much higher place in our lives than in the past.

What to buy as a gift? Well, some dogs love to dress up. They may have outgrown their pajamas or robe from last year. A warm sweater or coat may be in order if cold weather is approaching. Some dogs really know how to walk in boots and if they are sensitive little friends, the booties will protect them from the weather.

Where does your dog or the guest of honor sleep? Is a new dog bed in order? Perhaps they need a closet for their now extensive wardrobe. Toy boxes are always welcome and can be simple, foldable and soft or an elaborate wooden creation. Maybe you would like to gift them a special toy. There are also many to consider and the price ranges are equally varied. A dog that may have some separation anxiety may welcome a Kong-type toy that can be filled with peanut butter or other treat and keep him busy for an extended period of time.

Will the party be inside or outside? That usually depends on the size of the dog and the number of guests. If your toy baby is the host of the party, the interior may be fine. If your dog is the size of a Doberman, the exterior can be advantageous. There are facilities that can handle larger pieces. Some dog kennels will be happy to host your party and will do the cleaning up after the event as well. That is always a great benefit.

Whatever the occasion, whatever the reason, honoring your spoiled dog with a festive feast will let them know how special they are. Not that there was any doubt before the event. Don’t forget the photographs. The puppies in their cute outfits will make a great addition to your family photo album or scrapbook. Even a selection of hats will do if your dogs don’t like to dress up. Most small dogs love being pampered. Some dogs of a larger, more independent nature will just want the food. Whatever the reason or the breed of the dog, getting together with your friends and sharing your dog’s stories will turn out to be an exceptionally enjoyable time.

As adoption day, birthday, wedding day, or new puppy days approach, it’s time to start making plans to celebrate in a special way. Take out the stops and enjoy the day.
