How to celebrate your pet's birthday, safely
Simple, pet-friendly ideas for a birthday: a bandana photo, a new toy and plenty of attention.
Keep it about them
Pets enjoy attention, play and a new toy more than a party. A short photo session with a birthday bandana, followed by a game of fetch or a play session with a wand, is plenty.
What to avoid
Do not feed human birthday cake, chocolate or sweets. Avoid party hats, balloons, confetti and candles near pets, because they can be frightening or unsafe.
A gift they can use
A birthday box bundles a few toys and a personal card with your pet's name. Wear the bandana only for short, supervised moments and never tie it tightly.
