Purebred Breeders LLC explores 2 Budget-Friendly Doggy Birthday Party Ideas

Throwing themed doggy birthday parties have become quite common among dog lovers. Owners feel like those parties provide a great way to honor our canine companions, thank them for bringing joy to your lives, as well as to simply bond and have fun. There are so many ideas available to choose from that these gatherings can easily be tailored to accommodate just about any kind of guest, and finding a  budget-friendly theme is easy. Here are two of the Purebred Breeders, LLC team’s favorite cost-effective doggy ideas and simple tips to get started.  Remember that the time spent is what is important, so there is no need to go overboard or overspend on the party.  

 A Garden Party

Purebred Breeders, LLC see this as a great opportunity to spend a lazy summer afternoon enjoying the extravagance of the great outdoors.  Set the scene by decorating the backyard with artificial bunnies, butterflies and bugs, or anything your dog likes to chase.  These can be made out of lightweight cards and can be suspended from tree branches via strings. They can also be attached to the walls and fencing.

Next, include things such as rawhide treats, chews and bones, but be sure to place them on tall tables so they are out of reach. This will allow you to monitored how much is consumed.  Purebred Breeders, LLC strongly suggests that you keep all doggy treats separate from those prepared for human consumption; particularly if the human food is doggy themed as well.  Lastly, invite a few of your fellow dog lovers along with their pets and let the festivities begin (don’t forget the presents)!     

A Tropical Island Paradise

This theme can be nicely captured by using a Luau as the inspiration, and your backyard can be turned into a tropical paradise by using blue, purple, yellow and pink crepe paper streamers to achieve a cool Hawaiian look. Give the female dogs leis that are brightly colored and provide the male doggies with tropical themed bandanas (upon arrival of the party guests) to further capture the experience. Lastly, set the mood with some Luau music going in the background, and remember to have enough Luau-inspired food for everyone. Note that Purebred Breeders, LLC food tips for the garden party applies here as well.

Purebredbreeders.com reviews Weird Dog Costumes

OK, we admit it! Yes, we usually laugh about them. We often find most of them cute, and those dressed up pooches can look so adorable, but Purebredbreeders.com must ask. Why? Why is it that some dog owners jump at every chance to dress their pets in costumes? And the even more pressing question is “why costumes of other animals?”

It's a guilty pleasure for some people who find themselves “oohing” and “awing”, and that's fine, we know they can't help it. While we may never know exactly how the practice started and why we still do it, we know one thing: some of these are downright hilarious. Here are some of the cutest (yet weird) costumes Purebredbreeders.com found floating around. Can you top them?

 

Purebredbreeders.com reviews some Weird Dog Costumes

1. Pimp

No we are not kidding. Imagine a bull dog (or any pooch for that matter) dressed as a pimp; colorful shirt and hat to match. You probably need to reserve this one for tough looking breeds, or those that come across as “slick” to pull the look off.

2. Priest and Nun

Feel like going to church? Believe it or not, it is possible to dress your dog as a nun or priest, and their innocent little faces do a lot to complete this one!

3. Spider

We're almost sure Fido has a thing or two to say about being dressed as an itty bitty insect, and we're certain he'll be demanding compensation in treats!

4. Flirt

Wait...what? We kid you not, there is a whole category of costumes for flirtatious female pets! Can you hear the males howling too?

5. Skunk

So maybe your pooch was a likes to get messy and be a little stinky but was the black and white costume of shame really necessary? (Don't worry, Purebredbreeders.com knows it wasn't a punishment, and it looks cute!)

6. Party

Let's dance! Go retro, Disco or Mardi Gras with everything from fur, feathers, tassels, beads, faux pearls, flowers, and things that sparkle.

We could go on and on about costumes. In fact, makers are becoming so creative that the variety is beyond most of our imagination. So many online and as well as brick and mortar stores exist, and some go as far as to cater to those wanting custom pieces. The best part about dog costumes is that they are easy to make at home if you are creative, plus, you often only need a hat and an old shirt to get started. However, some owners go all out on each occasion, and as long as safety procedures are followed so that the costume will not harm the dog, Purebredbreeders.com thinks it's a great way to show off your pet.
