I’ve never thrown my dog a birthday party, but I’ve been to some very fun dog parties. I think any excuse to throw a party is a good excuse, and if your dog gets some extra treats out of it, I say everybody wins. Just don’t make your dog wear that silly party hat for the whole party! :) Check out some adorable dog parties people have thrown.

If it's to get people together then it's all right but I know some stupid people who actually think the dog would appreciate it.

Is it crazy? Yes. Yes, it is.

Dog parties are just another shining example of people that have more money than sense.

Why not? People spend money on their hair, perfume, etc and that is technically a waste of money too. I love my dog. There are some people that go a little to crazy, even by a human birthday standard.

We had a crazy aunt and uncle that went through the trouble of doing that and dressed up the dog in a party hat, etc. I guess that kind of made up for the children they never had.

Putting party hats on dogs is uncomfortable for them. The dog does not understand what you are doing. It is very mean. The whole idea of dog parties makes no sense.

I give my dog a piece of cake and she gets extra treats from me and my friends, that is not bad. I would never dress her up, I am with you about that one.

I was taught that sweets were bad for dogs. I know you love your dog. I had two very very special dogs until they became old.

Guilty as charged. Sure, my pet doesn't know the difference and doesn't care, but he gets a little extra treat and affection and I feel better. Win-win!

I love my babies or doggies bushels and more. . . and they truely seem to know what Christmas wrap and gifts are all about . . . BUT they get rawhide treats nearly every time we shop so they get treats and spoiled every day of the year. I might get them something on their special day but I would NOT throw a party for them. Not everyone is that dog crazy YET.

Don't get me wrong. My dogs are really, really spoiled and I do give them a special dinner on their birthdays and my family of 3 has been known to even sing Happy Birthday but I would not throw them an actual party. They've told me that they prefer the smaller, quainter celebration! LOL

Although..I must say giving it a bone to chew on, a bowl of milk and chasing it around the house is as much a party to him as anything else..

Simple, if you don't like them, don't do it, but don't make fun of those that do. Many animals are part of the family and are loved.

I'm not a pet owner and probably will never be one. It really amazes me what some people do with or for their pets. But as long as they are happy, what should it matter? Have fun!

I don't do it with extravagant gifts and parties. We go to the lake and watch the dogs lose their minds until they drop. That's about all the celebration American Bulldogs can handle. Then it's back to the never ending investigation they do around the house.
