We’ve found some show-stopping decorations, adorable pawty attire and tasty treats, that will help you to celebrate your dog’s birthday in style.
Birthday Cake
Just as Jo Brand said, “Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake.” Whether you’re human or have four fluffy paws, everyone deserves a cake or treat for their birthday. There’s plenty of options here for you to treat your dog to the ultimate treat of their dreams.
Home-made Pupcakes
For all of you budding bakers out there, try baking one of our recipes from our virtual Great Doggy Bakeoff with Doggy Desserts.
Bake your own cakes and treats with these dog-themed baking moulds. Worthy enough of a Paul Hollywoof handshake.
Pupcake Mix
Life is so much easier with a boxed cake mix, especially when it’s designed just for dogs. I can’t count the number of times I’ve spent ‘Googling’ the perfect pup-cake only to make something that resembles a ‘Nailed It’ worthy winner. This cake mix takes away all the stress.
This cake mix includes all the necessary organic powders and flavours to make your doggie lick its whiskers! This human-grade mix has unique natural powders that are both tasty and healthy for your pooch.
Dog Bakery Cake
Sometimes it’s better to leave the cake baking to the professionals. For an Insta-worthy shot, you can order a custom dog cake from a local dog bakery. Celebrate your dog’s birthday with one of these mouth-watering wonders.
Give a Dog a Bone Cake
We love this tasty party cake from Four Legged Fancies, made with human-grade ingredients and natural colouring. It’s a gluten free sponge in either chicken, cheese or peanut butter. On the top it has melted yoghurt drops coloured pretty pink with natural beetroot! It looks good enough for us humans to eat.
They also use healthy botanicals such as aniseed, flaxseed, activated charcoal, parsley, mint, rosemary to boost your dog’s digestion – so it’s a tail-wagging winner!
Mutts about Pupcorn Cake
Is your dog mutts about pupcorn? To make it really special, put on a dog-related movie while your dogs tuck in.
This pupcorn cake from Four Legged Fancies is a cheddar cheese Birthday cake topped with doggy popcorn. This cake is a gluten-free, cheddar cheese sponge base topped with melted yoghurt drops and doggy popcorn.
Treats For Doggy Guests

A favourite among many dog friendly places across the UK. We love Frozzys, and now you can bring these frozen treats home for your pooch to enjoy. Flavours include peach, raspberry, blueberry, cranberry or original all tasty choices.
These are perfect to give to any doggy guests that may be joining to celebrate your dog’s birthday.
Dinky Doggy Donuts
BL Biscuit Co is a great dog bakery offering the Krispy Kremes of the dog world.
These dinky doughnuts are made with human-grade ingredients and are the perfect size for a small treat for tail-wagging party guests!
Doggy Eclairs
Another pawfect treat to indulge your pooch and their birthday guests.
These doggy eclairs whipped up by the Dog Bowl Deli are filled with a cream cheese icing and PeaMutt Butter between two charcoal biscuits dipped in dog friendly chocolate. They look good enough for humans to eat!
Doggy Champagne
Unlike us humans, dog’s don’t have to wait until their 18 to sample a beer, wine or glass of champagne.
What better way to celebrate than a toast to the next year of your dog’s loveable life than with a Champaws Gift Set from Woof and Brew. They also do cases of beer and wine for our furry pals!
Party Attire
There’s nothing more adorable than a photoshoot to celebrate your dog’s birthday and mark the occasion. If you’re organising a birthday photoshoot, then, of course, you’ll need some party attire to complete the look.
Please ensure your pooch is happy and comfortable wearing these items. If your dog shows any signs of stress, then remove it immediately.
Party Hats
Party hats are perfect for that birthday photoshoot prop, whether you’re celebrating their fur-st birthday or their tenth.
Etsy has plenty of quirky party hats available for your pooch, many of which are personalised. This party hat, in particular from Paper Arrow Apparel, is made with glitter fabric that doesn’t shed complete with a blue pom trim, a larger pom on top and a matching elasticated skinny band. Boop!
Birthday Bandanas
Perhaps your pooch isn’t one for sitting pretty with a party hat? In which case a birthday bandana may be the better option.
Albie’s boutique has a great range of birthday bandanas that are completely reversible so you can continue to use them throughout the rest of the year.
Birthday Bowties
For bow-ties, we can’t get enough of these birthday bowties from Franky’s Bowtique, complete with a proper cheesy but adorable birthday rosette. Everyone will know it’s your dogs birthday fur sure.
