Puppy Party Ideas To Celebrate Your Dog’s Birthday With Kids
If your dog is your family’s best friend, throwing a birthday party for him is not all that far-fetched. If you’re not sure when your pet was born, just pick a date. With one human year equal to seven dog years, the celebration’s probably way overdue anyway.
A week before the event, your kids can send out canine-themed invitations, perhaps dog bones or miniature doghouses cut out of construction paper. To prevent chaos, it’s probably wise to limit the guest list to human friends, but if your pooch has a best pal, you may want to include him, too.
Your kids can spruce up the guest of honor by giving him a bath. And if he’s tolerant, they can crown him with a special birthday hat. Human partygoers can have fun donning plastic dog nose party favors, which are available at most toy stores.
Supply construction paper and glue, and the kids can make cone-shaped hats decorate with cut out biscuits collars, license tags, and other dog-related shapes.
For entertainment, stage a talent show featuring your family’s four-legged star. During the days preceding the party, your kids can rehearse his repertoire of tricks and try teaching him a few new ones. Of course, after the performance, all the guests will want a chance to shake his paw.
For kids who are dogmatically canine, this party gives them license to bark, roll over and gnaw on bones. From start to finish, it’s got a message that will thrill them: Hey, little hounds, this time, we believe you.
Welcoming Activity
As kids come in the door, have grown-up “groomers” turn them into puppies. Use face paint and optional dog ears (pieces of fabric or fake fur fastened to the child’s hair with silver hair clips). Lay out a tableful of beads, buttons, string and extra dog tags to make a dog collar. Let the pups string their own (help them center the tag). It’ll be your job to make sure nobody’s necklace gets turned into a choke collar. Have an instant camera handy for portraits.
A Feast Fit for a Dog
No doubt your dog would be perfectly happy lapping up a big slab of frosted devil’s food cake, but the truth is that sugar, especially chocolate, isn’t great for him. Still, the birthday boy must have a pie.
A simple solution is to mold his favorite dog food into a one-serving torte. Add a dog biscuit for each year of his age. Remind your kids to fill his water bowl so that he can wash it all down.
Your human guests will undoubtedly prefer a different entree. After fruit leather “chew” appetizers, you can serve the main course: hot dogs and a platter of cornmeal hush puppies. Add a splash of soda to your kids’ favorite fruit juice, dub it Puppy Punch, and you’ve got the perfect beverage.
For dessert, there’s Dalmatian ice cream. Top bowls of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt with chocolate chips or Junior Mints.
Games and Activities
You won’t need any regular games for this crowd. Two hours of dressing up and remaining in character are enough to keep them howling about the party for days. Still, here are some activities in case you’ve got a roving pack on your hands.
Dog Trivia
List television shows and movies with canine stars, such as Lassie, Old Yeller, Beethoven, and Benji. Ask the guests to identify the breed of dog featured in each.
Pin The Tail On The Dog
Have your kids draw a life-size picture of the family dog on a sheet of brown butcher paper. Make a tail out of crepe paper or braided yarn.
Sing Dog Songs
“How Much Is that Doggie in the Window,” “Hound Dog” and “Bingo” are always good for a few rounds.
Buried Treasure Hunt
Hide dog biscuits, rawhide chewies, rubber balls and Frisbees around the yard for guests to bring home to their pets.
Omaha Steak Canine Cookies: $8.99
All you need is a batch of sugar cookies cut into dog or dog bone shapes, icing and assorted candy. Snipped licorice strings make great tails.
The Snoop
Hide about 40 cardboard bones (or sugar-cookie dough cut and baked into bone shapes) at “dog height,” and have the puppies hunt on hands and knees. Found bones get buried at the end of the game in a bag in exchange for treats.
Puppy Chow: $44.99 The best on Amazon
Familiar foods are best with this crowd. Try serving hot dogs or get yourself a bone-shaped cookie cutter and cut out plain cheese or bologna sandwiches made with soft white bread. Make kibbles from either trail mix or those cheese- or peanut-butter-filled pretzels that look like dog treats. Garnish with sticks (pretzel rods). Cut sugar cookie dough into bone shapes for special “dog treats.” For extra fun, serve lunch in a clean dog bowl (or just a regular bowl).
Favors and Goodie Bags
Send each pup home with a Doggie bag, either plain or decorated with spots. Stuff it with the child’s photograph (puppy name and breed underneath, with some remark like “Loves Bones” or “Beautifully Groomed”). Throw in a dog figurine, some stickers, a ball, and a bone cookie. And, of course, leave room for the collar.
Thank-You Note
Send a message in dog language from the birthday pup. For example, on the front, you might put a picture of your child with a cartoon dialogue balloon: “Woof-woof, arf, Batcar, grrrr, woof-WOOF! Rrrr, Ralph.” Translation inside: “That means, ‘Thank you for the great Batcar for my birthday! Love, Ralph.'”
