Treats for your pup on his birthday should be special occasions – you should show him just how much you care with handmade or store bought treats that show just how much love and appreciation there is between the two of you! Unfortunately, some dogs can be finicky eaters and may not appreciate homemade offerings as much.
Bakery-style dog cookies and biscuits often feature decorative flourishes such as frosting, sprinkles or other flourishes – but more importantly, they contain healthy ingredients which could benefit your pet.
Homemade
If you want to give your pet something special but don’t have time to drive to a store, try creating homemade dog birthday cookies instead! This easy recipe takes less than 15 minutes and is fun for kids who like helping!
Ingredients used are both nutritious and dog-safe: the dough contains pumpkin and peanut butter that are easy for dogs to digest, while natural ingredients were used instead of powdered sugar to make the icing.
This recipe is an easy and fun way to give your pup some nutritious nutrition while at the same time making sure their treats stay delicious! When selecting peanut butter, beware that certain brands contain xylitol – this compound can be dangerous even in small doses and should only be chosen if it does not contain other harmful additives. For optimal results use whole wheat flour and nondairy milk if your dog has allergies.
Store-Bought
Pet stores or dog bakeries offering bakery-style treats made with ingredients safe for dogs often provide baked-good treats like cookies, biscuits, cupcakes, and sandwich-style treats with creamy filling (think Oreos) as treats that they can safely consume. Special edition varieties may even be offered during festive occasions like Halloween, Christmas, or puppy birthday parties!
Home-baked dog treats are easy to make and less messy than homemade versions, yet may contain more processed ingredients than you prefer for your pup. Look for baked goods made in the US that feature limited ingredients – Lazy Dog Cookie Company offers The Original Pup-PIE which is wheat, corn and soy-free with roasted vanilla flavor and decorated with colorful confetti sprinkles; Bocce’s Bakery Dog Treats come with simple peanut butter flavor featuring only five ingredients – perfect for giving to your furry friend on his or her birthday or any day during their year long existence!
Fun Activities
Many pet stores carry homemade birthday cakes for dogs made of everyday baking ingredients that are safe for consumption by your pup, adding an unforgettable touch to their special day.
Create an obstacle-style course to keep your canine friends active physically and mentally, or engage in tug of war using knotted rope, toys or old T-shirts – any form of competition will do!
Make sure to bring along a camera so you can capture memorable moments at your pup’s paw-ty. Set up a picture booth with a festive background or “Happy Birthday Buddy!” signs, dress your pup up in silly hats or wigs for some amusing photos, take some shots with their favorite toys – these memories will become treasured treasures of both yourself and your furry pal!
