Are you looking for fun, warm weather ideas for celebrating your dog's birthday? While everyday feels like a birthday to your dog when the two of you are together, your dog would appreciate a warm, summer day devoted to celebrating his special day. Here are some ways to make your dog's summertime birthday even more special:
A Birthday Picnic
Why not fill a picnic basket with human food and special dog treats and head out for a birthday picnic at a local park that welcomes dogs? After roaming around the park and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine, settle down under a big tree and share your basket of goodies. To make your dog feel extra special, bring along dog cookies that you've inscribed with “Happy Birthday” or get some special birthday cookies from your local dog bakery. Don't forget to sing “Happy Birthday” after you enjoy your picnic.
Take a Birthday Hike
Sometimes it's more relaxing and satisfying for both dog and human if a birthday is celebrated without fanfare. Imagine just the two of you hiking through the woods on a peaceful summer afternoon. What better way to spend a birthday or any other day for that matter? Don't forget to bring lots of water and remember to check your dog for ticks when you return from your birthday outing.
Have a Dog Birthday Barbecue
You know you shouldn't feed your dog people food, but his birthday only happens once a year. Gather your family together for a small barbeque to celebrate your dog's special day. Instead of relegating your dog to doggie treats, throw a large steak on the grill for your dog to enjoy. Grill your dog's steak first and make sure it's just the way he likes it. He'll appreciate this gesture far more than a birthday cake!
Celebrate at the Dog Park
Stop at your local dog bakery and pick up a bag of birthday dog cookies or bake your own at home. Load your dog into the car to celebrate his special day at the local dog park. To show everyone it's your dog's birthday dress him in a birthday dog collar or birthday boy tank available at moderntails.com. Instead of spending an hour, make it a full day of fun and frolic for your birthday dog. When people see his birthday collar or tank, they'll make him feel special also.
However you end up choosing to celebrate your dog's birthday, make it a day to remember. After all, dogs give us so much of themselves. Don't they deserve the best?
