🐾 1. Choose the Perfect Location

 

Pick a spot where dogs can safely run, sniff, and socialize:

 

• Your backyard

• A dog-friendly park

• An indoor doggy daycare or play center

 

Ensure it’s secure, has shade or shelter, and access to fresh water.

🎈 2. Send Invites (to Dogs

and

Humans)

 

Make a cute invite list of dog friends and their humans. You can go all out with printed invites or keep it casual with a text or Facebook group. Just ask:

 

• Is their dog social and friendly?

• Are they up to date on vaccinations?

• Do they have any food allergies?

Decorate with dog-safe balloons, banners, paw print tablecloths, and even matching bandanas for guests!
