Have a Halloween Pet Party
Tips for your Dog Party

Having a Halloween pet party?

Organization is key to success for your dog party.

Plan your party games, get the party supplies early, and have the dog party favors made and packaged.

Relax and enjoy...

The Guest List for Your Pet Party

I know you've thought about who will be invited—but have you really thought about who will be invited?

Here's what I'm getting at... Consider the personalities of the dogs that you will be inviting.

You want to make sure that your guests are easy going. No trouble makers allowed!

If you know that a particular dog has difficulty getting along with other dogs or with children, it's best to exclude him from the list. It only takes one unruly dog to spoil your party.

Think ahead...

Containment
of Your Dog Party Guests

While your dog guests will have some freedom during the party, you don't want them wandering all over the neighborhood.

Will you have the party outside in a fenced area? Do you have a basement area that is suitable for the party?

Where can you hold the event, give the dogs some freedom, and still control where they go?


Choose a Theme
for Your Halloween Dog Party


Halloween Decor from Costume Express

For Halloween, you can get all kinds of decorations at a Dollar Store or Walmart.

In addition, consider using dog ideas like bones, cats, paws, for your Halloween decor.

However, remember that your guests may eat objects that are not food, so make sure that anything that you use to decorate is not harmful—or too tempting.

Get your dog party supplies early, so you won't be rushing around at the last minute looking for one or two items that are hard to find!

Plan the Dog Party Games

You need to have a plan of action for the fun. No one will enjoy the party if it ends up in a state of chaos.

Consider having pets dress in costumes for a pet parade or costume contest.

Think of some games that you can play. If you watched the Greatest American Dog Show, use some of the ideas that you have seen on the show.

Have a contest for the best obedience for several commands. You get the idea. Your party plan is limited only by your imagination.

Serve Dog Treats and
Give Dog Party Favors

Make sure that your dog guests have access to bowls of fresh water. At the designated time (probably just before the guests go home), serve refreshments for your dog guests and their pet parents.

Since many pet parents are very particular about what their dogs eat, make sure that the ingredients that you use are healthy dog treat ingredients and won't be harmful to the dogs.

Also, you might want to check with the dogs' pet parents to make sure that there are no allergies or ingredients that a particular pet needs to avoid.

As your pet guests leave your pet party, you can give each dog a package of dog treats (dog party favors) to take home.

Send each dog home with a party favor bag.



Photograph
the Pet Party Fun!

Arrange for one person (who will not be taking care of a dog) to take digital photos (or a video) of the party.

You want to get lots of great shots, so the photographer needs to stay alert and busy.

After the dog party, send each party participant an email with videos or a video of the event to remember all the fun.

With Dog Parties - Timing is Everything!

Keep the party short and sweet. One hour is a good length of time.

Depending on the number of pet guests and how long the pet party lasts, you can quickly go from fun to chaos.

Limit the activities, keep everything moving along, and send the guests home before anything goes wrong. This way everyone will have a good time and will leave with pleasant memories!

Pet parties can be lots of fun, or things can go south pretty quickly! To make sure that yours is fun, do a little planning and organization ahead of time.

Have everything ready before the party. Invite the right guests. And you're ready to go!

Enjoy....
