    I'd vote for a simple birthday party at home with family and maybe a few close friends. Simple, do it yourself. Its as much for the pet as it is just a good reason for a get together, centered around the pet ofcourse :) But a lavish, expensive, go out party for a pet just doesn't seem practical to me. And I do love my 3 dogs very much and they are spoiled to death.

    Yes! Fortunately all my cats share the same birthday so it's easy.

    Yes, my dogs get a nice big fresh bone for their birthdays and a new toy. That is all we do though.

    Our cats get petgrass, nip, a new toy and a new cardboard box every birthday. They seem to enjoy it a lot.

    For, but my cat runs the house. I don't even get to decide what kind of cake she orders.

    I got my dog a cake for her first birthday and took her to the dog park.

    In hindsight, I was crazy.

    Yes, and do it yourself. I just recently threw a birthday party for my cat Chloe (seen below in my ticker). At 17, she definitely deserved a party (= I made her a princess hat and she got lactose free ice cream. It was great fun!
    ETA: It was a small gathering: Chloe, me, and my son. Not like I invited people or pet guests! :tongue:

    I used to give my dog a special homemade doggie birthday "cake". He LOVED chicken, so I'd boil a chicken breast, then pull the meat off the bone and chop it into tiny, bite sized pieces. Then I'd steam some veggies (carrots, peas, broccoli, and green beans), and chop them into teeny tiny pieces (just short of qualifying as a puree). I'd mix the chicken and veggies together, then add a couple of eggs and bake it in a small custard dish. Once it was cooked, I'd flip the custard dish upside down onto a small plate and it looked like a "cake". He LOVED it. That was about as far as I'd take the pet birthday thing. In my opinion, anything more is a waste of money, as the pet doesn't really know the difference anyway. I'm not condemning anyone else for doing it. To each his/her own. It just doesn't seem practical to me.

    Once when I was little we threw a birthday party for my 3 dogs... made a cake, decorated it, let them eat some of it, invited some friends over. Granted I was around 7 or 8 at the time so it was acceptable and more like an excuse for all my friends to come over to my house and eat cake, haha.

    Personally I'd think it would be kind of strange if you threw your dog a party if you didn't have small kids. I can't even remember when my dog's birthdays are now!

    I'd punch a friend square in the babymaker if they invited me to a dog party to make sure they never procreated.


    But that's just me.

    :laugh: That actually made me snort while laughing. As to the OP's question: No, I wouldn't throw a pet birthday party.
