Pawty Time: How to Throw the Ultimate Doggy Barkuterie Party!
If you’re anything like us, you look for any excuse to host a dog party! If you're looking to pamper your four legged friend and celebrate special moments, why not throw a party filled with tail wags, treats, and, of course, doggie charcuterie boards? We’ve created this guide to help you plan a fun dog party, with barkuterie boards being the main event, of course.
Invitations: Send out adorable paw-print invitations to fellow dog lovers in your community. Make it clear that it's a party for dogs, so everyone knows to bring their furry friends along.
Venue: Choose a dog-friendly venue, such as a local park, dog friendly brewery or your backyard. Ensure there's enough space for dogs to mingle, play, and explore safely.
Dog-Friendly Decor: Set the scene with dog-friendly decorations. Think about paw-print banners, doggie balloons, and perhaps even a designated "puppy play zone" with toys and activities.
Doggie Games: Organize games and activities that dogs will enjoy. Ideas include a dog-friendly obstacle course, a doggie treasure hunt, or a game of fetch. Keep it lighthearted and engaging for the pups.
Canine Cuisine: Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the barkuterie board! Just like humans, dogs love variety, textures, and flavours. Include a mix of the following on your barkuterie board:
High-Quality Dog Treats: Opt for natural, healthy treats that cater to different tastes and preferences.
Raw Fruits and Vegetables: Dogs enjoy a variety of fruits and veggies like apple slices, carrot sticks, and blueberries.
Dog-Friendly Cheese: Some dogs are lactose intolerant, so choose cheese that's safe for canine consumption, like cottage cheese or small amounts of cheddar.
Doggie Cake: No party is complete without a cake! Bake or purchase a dog-friendly cake made with ingredients like peanut butter, pumpkin, or applesauce. Ensure it’s safe for canine consumption.
Doggie Bags. As the party wraps up, send guests home with doggie bags filled with a few treats from the barkuterie board, a small toy, and a heartfelt thank-you note.
Why add a barkuterie board to your pup party?
Socialization: Dogs can bond over sharing and exploring the board together. Always be aware of any food aggression to ensure dogs are able to share safely.
Sensory Stimulation: The variety of textures and flavours provide a sensory-rich experience for your dog.
Health Benefits: Including nutritious options contributes to your dog's overall well-being.
By incorporating these elements into your doggie barkuterie board party, you're sure to create a memorable and enjoyable experience for both your furry guests and their humans. So, get ready to celebrate, snack, and watch the joy unfold as your pup indulges in the ultimate doggie feast!
