If the thought of throwing a dog party overwhelms you at first, don’t worry. A dog party can be similar to a human’s birthday party, with a few key differences.

Below, we’re sharing a guide to everything you need to know to throw your birthday dog the party they deserve. Read on to learn more, and start party planning today!

1. Pick a Great Location

Just like any other party, a dog party should take place at a great location. Your own house or apartment is always an option, but consider some of your dog’s other favorite spots. If you have a local dog park or a favorite trail that your pooch loves to explore, those could also be great options.

When you’re considering different locations, think about how many human guests you’re going to have and how many dog guests. That may help you make a determination. If you’re going to have a lot of other dogs, having ample outdoor space will be key.

2. Serve Dog-Approved Treats

Your happy birthday dog deserves only the best at his or her party, and that includes edible treats. While you probably keep a regular stock of dog treats at home, this is an occasion to go above and beyond.
