Celebrate Your Pet’s Birthday or Gotcha Day in Style
Whether it's your dog’s birthday or the anniversary of their adoption, we believe every pet deserves a celebration. They fill our lives with unconditional love, laughter, and companionship, so why not give them a day that’s all about them?
Here are a few thoughtful, fun, and pet-approved ideas to make their special day one to remember:
Plan a “Yes Day” Just for Them
Give your pet a day full of their favorite things:
An extra-long walk, a stop at the coffee shop for a pup cup, permission to roll in the grass just a little longer than usual. It’s all about saying yes to the little joys.
Need help making it happen? Let your DOTR professional take them on a personalized dog walking adventure while you prep the festivities at home.
Book a Doggie Field Trip
Want to give your dog a true outing they’ll never forget?
Our Doggie Field Trips are a perfect birthday or Gotcha Day surprise. Whether they love beach romps, trail sniffing, or cruising around with their favorite DOTR pro, we’ll curate a trip that fits your pup’s personality.
It’s like a party—but with more fresh air, exercise, and tail wags.
Surprise Them with a Pet-Safe Cake
Spoil your pet with a birthday treat made just for them. Many local bakeries offer pupcakes and dog-friendly cakes using ingredients like pumpkin, peanut butter, and oat flour. No artificial stuff—just delicious fun.
Snap a few photos before it gets devoured!
Capture the Moment with a Mini Photo Shoot
Celebrate the occasion with a fresh batch of photos.
You can stage something cute at home with party hats, banners, and their new toy—or hire a pet photographer for a keepsake shoot. Either way, your memories (and Instagram feed) will thank you.
Gift a Luxe Toy or Upgrade Their Gear
Maybe it’s a squeaky plush they’ve had their eye on… or a new personalized collar that fits your aesthetic. Special days are the perfect excuse to elevate your pet’s everyday accessories.
Create a Relaxing End-of-Day Retreat
After all the excitement, help your pet wind down with their favorite blanket, a calming chew, and their favorite spot in the house. Add a lavender-scented spray and a soft soundtrack to turn bedtime into spa time.
Bonus: Share the Love
Post a birthday or Gotcha Day message on social and tag us (Facebook: DogsOnTheRun or IG: DOTR2003) we love seeing our DOTR pets celebrated! You can even write a card “from the family” or let the kids draw a picture. These little traditions become cherished keepsakes.
