Of course, bunny ears should be included if you can get your dog to wear them! <em>(Pro tip: take photos before you start the hunt, those ears won\u2019t stay on long.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can throw a big event and invite all your puppy\u2019s best pals over for a large-scale hunt, or you can keep things quiet with just the family included. It\u2019s up to you. Either way, you probably want to know what makes a dog Easter egg hunt fun for the canines. First things first: NO CHOCOLATE. Chocolate is toxic for dogs and no amount is safe for them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/4205\/files\/easter_3_large.png?v=1555352635\" alt=\"easter egg hunt for dogs\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>WHERE TO HOLD THE DOGGIE EASTER EGG HUNT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve gotten that out of the way, where should you hold your dog\u2019s Easter egg hunt? Location will probably largely depend on the weather.<\/p>\n<p>Ideal places outdoors would be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>in a backyard<\/li>\n<li>a park<\/li>\n<li>a beach setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the weather doesn\u2019t cooperate, you could host a smaller group indoors and maybe hide less \u201cfragrant\u201d treat-filled eggs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/4205\/files\/easter_eggs_large.png?v=1555352676\" alt=\"easter eggs for dogs\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT KIND OF EGGS SHOULD YOU HIDE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve chosen your location, the next thing to consider is what kind of eggs to hide. Smelly treats, bits of hot dog or bacon, and small chunks of chicken or cheese can all fit easily into plastic eggs and since they have a strong smell dogs are likely to fine them. You can also hide treats that don&#8217;t have as strong of a smell, for advance noses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedogbakery.com\/collections\/biscuits\/products\/thedogbakeryapplepiebones?variant=33097008337\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/4205\/files\/DSC03886_large.JPG?v=1555353028\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Try to find the largest eggs you can, and those that have connected halves would be the safest. You don\u2019t want your furry friends to swallow plastic as they gobble up a treat!<\/p>\n<p>Also, try to find plastic eggs that have small holes in them, or, if you\u2019re feeling especially industrious, you can drill a tiny hole in each egg yourself to leak the scent of the treat hidden inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLASTIC EGG ALTERNATIVES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead of plastic, you could use boiled eggs for your hunt. Boiled eggs are a healthy treat for most dogs, and that includes the shell, but if you\u2019re worried you can peel them first, then dye them. Just make sure any dye used to color the eggs is non-toxic.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of organic and natural dyes out there to choose from. You can even make your own. A word of caution should you use boiled eggs for your dog\u2019s Easter egg hunt; make sure you remember where you hide them all. You don\u2019t want a surprise in early June when Sparky eats a forgotten egg in the yard and develops tummy trouble, or worse, runs into the house with his coat covered in slimy rolled-in rotten egg!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/4205\/files\/easterdog_large.png?v=1555352718\" alt=\"easter party for dogs\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>SAFETY FIRST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At any dog Easter egg hunt, it\u2019s a good idea to have guests keep their canines on-leash to more easily help them crack the eggs open or keep them from over-eating. Most important though is to prevent little<br \/>fingers from getting nipped and keep aggression from breaking out between guests who might lay claim to the same egg.\u00a0 We wouldn\u2019t want a fight to break out on a holiday!<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/4205\/files\/easter_dog_2_large.png?v=1555352756\" alt=\"\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MAKE IT FUN FOR EVERYONE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are hosting a dog Easter egg hunt party with various-sized dogs, and you\u2019re worried not everyone will get to participate, you can attach helium balloons to eggs and mark them \u201cFor Small Guests Only,\u201d or \u201cFor Seniors\u00a0Only\u201d for example, so these pups won\u2019t feel left out or get run over.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You could also divide the party space into designated areas and separate the dogs by size, or have them hunt in shifts, to make the hunt less chaotic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MAKE IT TRICKY!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For extra fun, you could tie a hot dog or smelly treat on a string and drag it around the party space before the hunt, to throw your guests off their game.\u00a0Hiding the eggs is a fun way to stimulate your dog and his guests, and the trickier you get when hiding the treats, the more fun and challenge they will have finding them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedogbakery.com\/collections\/new-treats\/products\/lil-chick-peanut-butter-cookies-for-dogs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/4205\/files\/zoey_gif_large.gif?v=1555353240\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>BASKETS &amp; PARTY FAVORS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can prepare baskets ahead of time stuffed with additional treats and Easter-themed toys to hold your guests\u2019 remaining eggs after they\u2019ve eaten a few.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1571258249840592'); \n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedogbakery.com\/blogs\/news\/how-to-host-a-doggie-easter-egg-hunt\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone knows that dogs live life through their noses, so what could be more fun than having your very own dog Easter egg hunt?
