7 Fun Ways to Celebrate Easter with Your Dog
This post shows you the 7 Fun Ways to Celebrate Easter with Your Dog!
If you’re like me and get crazy over the holidays, decorating the entire house, then you’re gonna love these Easter dog ideas. I know we should stop buying and decorating with seasonal (junk), but I just can’t help it—spring and Easter decor are my weaknesses! I try to limit myself and reuse everything I have from previous years.
When I decorate my home for Easter, I always do something fun for my dog as well since we get time off work and have more free time to celebrate with him! This way, he knows that something special is going on.
In this post, I’m sharing some pretty simple yet fun ways to include your dog in the Easter festivities!
1 Dress Your Dog in a Cute Easter Outfit
One of the easiest ways to get into the Easter spirit is by dressing up your dog! Whether your dog loves costumes or just tolerates them for a few minutes, there are plenty of adorable options:
If your dog isn’t a fan of clothes, you can still add a festive touch with an Easter-themed collar or leash. Snap a few pictures, then reward them with a treat for their patience!

2 Plan an Easter Egg Hunt (Dog-Friendly Edition!)
An Easter egg hunt isn’t just for kids—you can set up one for your dog.
All you need is some plastic Easter eggs that you can fill in with treats, a nice backyard or a dog-friendly city park, and a little bit of time to train your dog!
You can also organize a kid-friendly version and let the kids do their traditional egg hunt while your dog gets their own set of hidden Easter eggs.

Homemade treats are a great way to control ingredients and keep your pup safe from artificial additives.
6 Take Your Dog for a Special Easter Dog Picnic!
Pack some dog-friendly Easter food, lots of water, and your favorite waterproof blanket, and enjoy a day in the sun!
You should also bring lots of toys and plan a whole day outdoors!
I usually go to a big park on the outskirts of the city, but you can go whenever people usually go to have a picnic. Just make sure that the park you choose is dog-friendly, and don’t forget to bring their harness or collar and leash!
When it comes to picnic foods, I can assure you that your dog will try to eat everything you bring! So you need to prepare and plan the food wisely!

7 Do the Whole Easter Bucket List With Your Dog
I love the idea of having a bucket list for my dog, especially a springtime bucket list where we can have some fun and spend more time outside as a family.
We all need more fresh air, screen-free weekends, lots of sunlight, and small adventures with our dogs!
