If you have a pet with a birthday or a gotcha day coming up, the PetFlow team wants to help you celebrate your beloved furry friend. Since some pet parents aren’t sure the exact day their pet was born, “gotcha day” has been a term floating around to celebrate these pets. Gotcha Day is the day that your pet was adopted or rescued, sometimes also called an adoptiversary. To celebrate your pet’s birthday or Gotcha Day, we have a wide variety of products on our website to help make it a special day for you and your fur baby.
Doggy Cakes & Treats
One of the most important parts of any birthday celebration is the cake! Since you can’t exactly give your dog a birthday cake from a human bakery, there are companies out there who have come up with some options that are completely safe for your dog to eat on its birthday.
Lazy Dog makes a wide variety of birthday treats for your pet, including an adorable birthday pie with 10 slices so your pup can get some longevity out of this sweet snack. If you want something smaller, there are also birthday cake bites for your pup to enjoy. Of course, no birthday celebration is complete without ice cream so take a look at Lazy Dog’s make-at-home birthday cake vanilla ice cream, completely dog safe. Now your dog can have their cake and eat it too!
If you’re looking for something a little more lowkey (but still fun) for your dog’s birthday, we have a special selection of birthday-themed treats!
Bocce’s Bakery makes a very popular Birthday Cake Recipe Biscuit Treats. Don’t worry! There’s no actual birthday cake in the recipe. It’s actually made with ingredients like peanut butter, molasses, and vanilla. But to your pet, that’s better than cake!
Presents & Toys
Now that you’ve picked out your pup’s treat, it’s time for the next important part: getting the purr-fect present for your pet. To make it a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite birthday-themed toys on our website.
Have you ever wanted to see your dog with their very own pinata? Zippy Paws makes a pinata puzzle toy that your inquisitive pup will be sure to love, working to dig out squeaky candies from this adorable toy.
