Whether you are a cat or dog person, there’s one thing we can all agree on – our animals are more than just pets. They are important members of the family and this is why so many pet owners choose to celebrate their furry friends on an annual basis.
Pet birthday celebrations are becoming increasingly popular. If we don’t know the exact date of birth, we usually pick a suitable date sometime around the estimated date of birth and celebrate this as their special day. For sociable dogs, some owners like to invite their friends to bring their dogs over too for a kind of doggie party. Depending on the number of guests, there might be small tables lined with various treats and water bowls placed out of the way to prevent spills. The owners also get to enjoy the fun with drinks and snacks. Of course the human snacks need to be kept out of reach or the four-legged guests won’t hesitate to nibble on those too!
As for gifts, each guest will be inclined to spoil the birthday dog with some doggie treats, perhaps a toy, or maybe even a blanket or item of clothing. Pet gift hampers are also a huge hit! They include a little bit of everything and they are also beautifully presented. All gifts should be wrapped in paper so that your dog can open them without too much (or any) assistance. Don’t forget the cake! You don’t want to buy your regular cake from the store but, instead, look for an easy dog birthday cake recipe online. There are a number of ways to make doggie cakes that won’t result in health issues for your pet or furry guests.
Cats might be a bit more of a challenge – depending on their personality. Some cats are more sociable than others. Some love the company of other cats while others definitely do not! Take note of your kitty’s personality when planning their special day and remember to follow your cat’s lead. Again, like dogs, if you are looking for the perfect gift, look no further than a pet hamper for cats. Cat gift baskets have everything you need to make your furry friend purr with delight!
Finally, don’t forget to keep your camera handy to capture these very special moments. Your pet is likely to react in a cute of comical way that you will want to relive from time to time.
