What’s not to love about dog birthday parties? They’re the perfect excuse to get together with your friends and their canine pals for a howling good time.

Dog birthday parties bring joy to both you and your dog, so why not have some fun with your pup’s special day? From setting up a paw print station to handing out tasty dog chew treats, there are plenty of awesome ways to celebrate your pet completing another trip around the sun. Scroll on for a few of our favorite dog birthday ideas below and get ready to raise the woof!
Everyone deserves to eat cake on their birthday, your dog included! Delight your pup on their birthday or adoptiversary by whipping up a birthday cake made especially for doggie tummies. Not a fan of baking? Treat your four-legged friend to a pupcake from your local pet store or go all out for them with a custom dog cake.
Anyone who has ever hosted a party knows that a good theme can make things a lot more fun and memorable. But who says that your theme needs to be dog-related? Go beyond paw print decor and choose a unique theme for your dog’s birthday party—like a circus or celebrity-themed bash. To get everyone into the party spirit, ask them to play dress up. Best human costume gets a gift card, while the best dog costume gets a yummy marrow bone!
Trust us: you’re going to want plenty of pictures to remember your dog’s epic birthday bash. What better way to capture memories than by having a photobooth for your party goers? If renting a professional photo booth isn’t in the budget, consider making your own DIY photo booth instead. All you need is a fun backdrop (Pinterest has tons of amazing ideas), some props, an instant-film camera, and voila!
Looking for a dog birthday party idea that your guests will gush about for years to come? Consider setting up a paw print art station. All you need is non-toxic paint, thick paper, and maybe a few letter stencils. Have each pup dip a paw into the paint before stepping onto the paper. Pet parents can then use the stencils to write their pet’s name above the print. They could even frame their pup’s paw print when they get home.

If you have a dog that’s totally ball-obsessed, you need to try this dog birthday idea: fill a kiddie pool with tennis balls and watch as your dog goes BALL-istic. You’ll have a blast seeing them hop in and out of the pool, pawing excitedly at the balls. Don’t have a kiddie pool? You could always stimulate their senses with the classic muffin tin game.
Last but not least, give your dog a top-notch birthday present. Splurge on a new dog bed, a fancy harness, or a dog toy that you just know they’re going to destroy within minutes.
