Fun, Safe, and Egg-stra Special Ideas for the Whole Pack!
Easter isn’t just for kids—it’s a perfect time to celebrate with your furry family members too! From egg hunts to festive treats and adorable photo ops, there are so many ways to include your pet in the springtime fun. Whether you’re planning a backyard party or a cozy celebration at home, here’s how to make Easter egg-stra special for your four-legged friend.
Host a Pet-Friendly Easter Egg Hunt
Yes, you can have an Easter egg hunt for your dog or cat! Just make sure to skip the plastic eggs and chocolate (both are unsafe). Instead:
- Hide small pet treats around the yard or home
- Use treat-dispensing toys like the Yeti Puff and Play as your “eggs”
- Add a little challenge with snuffle mats or puzzle feeders for indoor hunts
Pro tip: Use their favorite toy as the “golden egg” prize!
Make DIY Easter Treats
Bake up some spring-themed snacks using pet-safe ingredients. Here’s a quick idea for pups:
Carrot & Oat Biscuits
- 1 cup oat flour
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 1 egg
Mix, roll out, and cut into bunny shapes before baking at 350°F for 15–20 minutes.
Always check with your vet before trying new recipes!
Have a Bunny-Themed Photoshoot
Break out the bunny ears (if your pet will tolerate them!) and set up a simple photo booth with spring flowers, a pastel backdrop, and Easter props. Don’t forget to:
- Keep the session short and fun
- Use natural light or shoot outside for the best results
- Reward your model with plenty of treats

Create an Easter Basket for Your Pet
Surprise your pet with a mini Easter basket filled with goodies like:
- A new plush toy or squeaky bunny
- A few all-natural treats or chews
- A refill pack of Puff and Play nuggets
- A new bandana or collar in spring colors
Skip the plastic grass—it’s a hazard if ingested—and use shredded paper or a soft towel instead.
Spring Into Nature
Easter weekend is a great time to enjoy the outdoors together:
- Go for a spring walk or hike
- Explore a new pet-friendly park
- Let your dog sniff the blooming flowers—just avoid toxic ones like lilies and tulips!
Bonus tip: Bring water, and don’t forget your compostable poop bags!
Keep It Safe
Easter can bring tempting but unsafe items into your home. Keep these out of paws’ reach:
- Chocolate and candy (especially xylitol!)
- Plastic eggs and Easter grass
- Lilies and other toxic spring plants
- Table scraps that are fatty or seasoned
With a little planning, Easter can be a tail-wagging celebration your pet will love. Whether you’re baking treats, hunting for chews, or just soaking in the spring sunshine together, it’s all about creating joyful memories.
