Dog birthday or gotcha day celebrations are as important as any other – after all a dog is part of the family and therefore there is no reason why you shouldn\u2019t celebrate. In the third blog of our #addmorehappy series, we offer some recommendations for dog birthday present ideas to make sure your canine companion gets the day of joy they deserve.<\/em><\/p>\nSo the big day is fast approaching and your present choices can only be described as \u2018pawful\u2019, what gift could you buy for your pooch to keep their tails wagging and show them how much you care. Read our suggestions below and ensure your dog birthday party goes off without a hitch.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re never too old for toys<\/h2>\n
Never a truer sentiment for us humans and the same sentiment can be said for your dogs. Dog toys are often destroyed within moments. With that in mind, what better way to bring joy to your dog\u2019s day by getting a new toy for them to play with (or destroy). We recommend something cuddly or something a little more robust that will last a little longer.<\/p>\n
Get creative<\/h2>\n
You don\u2019t even have to stick to your everyday norms when it comes to celebrating a dog\u2019s birthday or gotcha day. There are many creative ways to help set their tails wagging. Whether it is organizing a professional photoshoot with your dog and family, or perhaps even throwing a puppy party, so long as they have company, they are bound to enjoy their day.<\/p>\n

Toss them some treats<\/h2>\n
Dog treats are the obvious gift for your dog but for those willing to spend a little more on a treat for the dog, why not invest in a treat-tossing camera such as the Furbo. These 2-way audio cameras are designed to capture dogs as they chase their favorite treat of choice, enabling you to capture those special dog birthday party moments.<\/p>\n
Anyone for twister?<\/h2>\n
It is no secret that dogs love playing games, especially with their humans. So how\u2019s about a game of twister? Don\u2019t worry, it is not what it sounds like and we are not suggesting you try to climb over your dog to get your hand on the right spot on the mat. Instead, why not invest in the Twister Advance Dog Puzzle Toy, which combines play with food – any dog\u2019s favorite combination.<\/p>\n
Sign up for a dog agility class<\/h2>\n
The two things a dog loves the most is exercise and bonding with their parents, so what better way to treat them on their birthday than to sign them up to their first dog agility class where they will get to experience both. Dog agility training offers your dog the chance to enjoy adventurous play and the fact that both owner and dog are required to communicate and work together will go down a treat, as most dogs want to please their owners and reap the rewards and also the attention that achieving this brings.<\/p>\n
Finally, one of the best things about a birthday, especially for us humans, is that you usually get to enjoy your favorite meal and it should be the same for your dog. One such meal they can enjoy is Applaws Taste Toppers, so to make sure the day goes out with a bang, be sure not to forget dinner time. You can even treat them to their favorite flavor to celebrate the big day.<\/p>\n
