Pooch Party Dog Cake
Pooch Party Cake Kit

"Had the party cake for Gandalf's (one of the corgis) 1st birthday last weekend. He liked it, but he is not a food dog, he was too spastic and interested in running to eat more than a couple bites. Daisy, the more food oriented one, loved it and eagerly finished what was left." ~Christina M., Tarpon Springs, FL.

Don't forget to celebrate your furry babies birthday. It was very easy to make and my babies loved it: Look!

A all natural cake mix especially for dogs will make their pooch party perfect. The kit comes in a microwavable container and includes a doggie cake mix, dog biscuit, party horn, balloon, spoon and instructions.

Here are free, easy and tasty dog birthday cake recipes.

Dog Cake Tips

Frosting ideas: cream cheese, peanut butter, yogurt, Neufchatel cheese or cottage cheese. Stiffen icing with meringue powder, which is basically powdered egg whites.

Dogs shouldn't have as much cake as people eat. A bite or two will thrill the dogs at your party, and will avoid tummy upset later. Any unfamiliar dog food can cause digestive upset.

Use organic peanut butter, rather than the major brands. It has fewer trans fats and is better for your dog.

If your dog is allergic to wheat, substitute rice flour.

Nuts are often not broken down during digestion, so be sure to chop nuts well when using them in recipes.

Raisins and grapes have been known to cause diarrhea and vomiting in dogs when fed in large quantities. Use raisins sparingly for decorating cakes.

Carob, a dog-safe chocolate substitute, can be purchased in powdered form or as carob chips at many grocery and health food stores.

For candles, use rawhide chews, Milk Bones or purchase bone-shaped candles to add the finishing touch to your masterpiece.

Safety Tips for Dog Parties

Keep an outdoor party to an hour, especially if you're inviting less active dogs.

Be sure there's adequate shade and water for everyone. A fun way to keep dogs hydrated is to freeze a large block of ice in a plastic food container. Place it within reach of all dogs and allow it to melt during the party.

Don't have some dogs on leash and others off-leash. Dogs act more defensive when they're on a leash, and could be at a disadvantage with others who are off-leash.

Bring pickup bags (enough for everyone).

Give treats that don't last longer than a gulp. If a dog takes a larger treat away to sit and eat it, a skirmish could result.

If you're having a party in your back yard, don't put food down on the ground, or your own dog may get territorial.

The safest way to introduce food to a group of dogs is to have the owners feed bite-size snacks to their dogs.

Let guests know that dogs may need to be separated if squabbles break out.

The safest mix of guests is equal numbers of males and females.

If any guests are not spayed or neutered, let other guests of non-spayed/neutered dogs know it.

During social time, throw a ball to give the dogs something to chase and focus on. Be sure to have enough toys for everyone to avoid possessiveness.

Ask your vet about foods that you're planning to give the dogs at the picnic, to be sure that you're not serving anything unsafe. Some foods, though not toxic, should still not be served in large quantities (examples: macadamia nuts, raisins).


Dog Birthday Activities & Games

Need some ideas for activities for your dog birthday party guests? Try these dog birthday games and fun ideas:

Provide dog chew toys to play with. Frisbees and balls are great for a game of fetch (or chase, depending on the dog). A large hard plastic ball is great for group play, and won't pop.

Use obedience commands as dog games. Practice sit, stay, down, come, etc. with food as a reward (this is the safest way to give picnic food to canine guests, as it reduces fighting).

Have a sit contest. The dog who stays in the sit position longest wins.

Here's a fun dog game from Nancy Furstinger, author of "Fun Stuff You Can Do With Your Dog: An Interactive Dog Book (Doral Publishing): Play musical chairs with your party guests. When the music stops, all the players put their dogs in a "sit." The last one to sit in each round exits the game until one winner remains.

Invite a trainer or groomer for a brief, fun lesson and to answer questions. Ask the guest speaker to come with some funny stories about his or her work. A good storyteller can have your guests howling about mishaps, embarrassing moments, dogs who got the best of them, etc.

Let the party dogs figure out their own games by allowing them to socialize in a fenced area. Take the people out of the area so the dogs can interact naturally with each other.

Hire an artist for face painting for the people, or caricatures of the dogs. Party Puppy, in San Diego, will also supply a DJ, canine massage therapist, performing dogs, magicians and clowns ... you name it.

Play "find the toy" by hiding a toy under a cup or blanket. This can be a fun party game for dogs.

Invite a portrait photographer to take candid pictures of your guests' dogs. These often reflect the dog's personality better than posed studio portraits.

Here's a classic dog party game: have a relay race or a recall race. In a recall race, all the dogs are taken to one end of a flat area. Owners stand at the other end and call their dogs. The dog who reaches its owner first gets a prize (and everyone gets a treat, of course).

Try a dog/owner look-alike contest.

Give door prizes for the biggest, smallest and shaggiest dog, or for the guest who traveled the farthest distance to attend the party. It's a great way to hand out your goody bags to all your guests.


Dog Party Snacks

You can buy commercially available party trays or dress up ordinary dog biscuits yourself, with dog-safe carob or yogurt and food coloring.

Here's a fantastic way to make very fancy party bones yourself, to give as gifts or to make an elegant party tray for your dog birthday party.

What you'll need:

12-15 Milk Bones or other dog biscuit. Note: the bigger the biscuit, the easier they are to decorate, so get the biggest ones that your guests can eat. They can always be broken in half for smaller dogs when it's time to eat them.

Yogurt or carob chips. You can find these at many health food stores. Carob is a dog-safe chocolate substitute.

Food coloring, if you wish to color the yogurt (great for birthday treats, Valentine's Day treats, Easter and Christmas treats).

Ribbon, sprinkles, and other food decorations. You can find sugar-free sprinkles at some grocery stores, but the amount of sugar your dog will ingest by having one of these treats is relatively small, so use the regular ones from the cake decorating aisle if you can't find sugar-free ones.

Step 1 -- Heat carob or yogurts in a double boiler. You can also use a glass bowl over a pan of water at a low boil. Do not allow the boiling water to touch the bowl. Stir occasionally. If you're coating your biscuits in carob and you need them to stay hard for shipping or other handling, here's a bakery trick. Purchase some paraffin wax in the canning supplies. Shave off a little bit of paraffin into the carob and stir it in. A small amount of wax is completely digestible, will not affect the flavor, and makes the carob coating hard and dry to the touch, which is great for shipping or if your treats have to be outside in warm weather.

Step 2 -- When the coating is melted but not runny, dip half of each biscuit into the coating. Lay on a piece of waxed paper or cooking parchment on a cookie sheet to cool and dry. Sprinkle and lightly press decorations into the soft coating before it cools, or just roll the cookie around in the sprinkles after dipping in the coating.

Step 3 -- When coating is cool and dry to the touch, wrap a piece of ribbon around the center of each bone, where the coating ends. Tie in a bow and cut off ends.

These can make very pretty party trays. Just make sure to label them clearly as dog treats, and make human snacks available to your human guests. If you're giving these as parting gifts or shipping them, try putting them in a candy or bakery box with tissue. Alternate the bones so they lie head-to-toe for a pretty arrangement. They will make a delicious and memorable gift.

Party Trays

Make cute and fun party trays by buying or making a variety of dog cookies. Arrange them in a new shiny large aluminum dog bowl. Or arrange them on a plate with confetti and ribbon around the edge. Here's a helpful hint from our customers who have had parties: Some dog cookies look good enough to eat, so it's a good idea to put a small sign next to treats intended for canine guests.

Party Favors

Make your own party favors with dog cookies, decorator cellophane bags and fancy ribbon. The sky's the limit. On your buffet table (away from inquisitive noses), arrange your party favors in paw-print bags tied with ribbon. You can purchase inexpensive charms and embellishments from scrapbook supply retailers and attach them to the bags.

Hand these out to guests as they leave to reduce squabbling among dogs, if you think it will be a problem. Remember, too, that inexpensive toys can be party favors.

A tennis ball and some treats are all some dogs need for a good time. Tie a dog biscuit around the neck of a cute toy for all your guests, or mix toys and treats in a favor bag.
