Off the leash birthday party ideas

How to throw a well-deserved birthday bash for your furbaby.

Decide on a theme

It’s easy to coordinate all the moving parts around a theme, here are some favorites:

Canine Corral

Bring out their Wild Wild West best with this adorable Western-style party theme. Before the party, take pictures of your dog dressed up as a cowboy or cowgirl outlaw so you can make a “Most Wanted” poster. (Pro Tip: Stain your paper with tea to make your poster look even more authentic.) Swap out traditional party hats with cowboy hats, and give each dog their own bandana as a party favor. To take your party to the next level, set up a chuck wagon to display your tasty treat spread of Milk-Bone® biscuits.

Beach Blanket Besties

A tropical beach theme in the backyard is a no-brainer for summer furbabies. Fill up a wading pool and blow up some beach balls before your guests arrive. Tell the pet parents to show up in their favorite Hawaiian shirt. Instead of regular bowls and tongs, use colorful beach pails and shovels to serve your Milk-Bone® treats. And consider hanging up a blue tablecloth on the wall to create an ocean-like backdrop for a photo booth. (Pro Tip: Print off free photo booth props online and glue them to popsicle sticks to save on party décor.)

Prince and Princess

Give your doggo and their besties the royal treatment. Create your own scroll party invites with dowel sticks, beads and gold paint from your local craft store. (Pro Tip: Watch online video tutorials on how to make scroll invites before buying your materials.) Ask the pet parents to dress their dog up as their favorite prince and princess and give a prize to the dog with the best costume. For a regal looking snack table of Milk-Bone® biscuits, get a table skirt that’s purple, royal blue or pink tulle.

Doggo Birthday Horoscope

Gemini Dog (May 21 – June 20)

Most Desirable Qualities:

Friendly, Not possessive, and Quick learner

Least Desirable Qualities:

Needs lots of activity and High-energy

A Gemini dog is an excellent companion for owners who enjoy a lot of outdoor activity. Ruled by Mercury, these pups are intelligent and excitable; they require a big yard to race around in or long walks to burn off nervous energy. They also have a very low boredom point and need constant changes of scenery, toys, activities and food types. The more exotic the better – they are food adventurists.
