Ideas for Cat and Dog Easter Baskets
Spring is in the air. As the ground begins to thaw and your thoughts turn to Easter preparation, don’t forget to include your pets in the fun. Animals enjoy a nice Easter basket as much as people do. Here are some festive ideas that you can use to create the perfect cat and dog Easter baskets.
Dog Easter Baskets
Our canine companions love to be included in whatever we do, even if they’re just along for the ride. Creating an Easter basket for your dog is a great way to make him feel included in your celebration. Some great dog Easter basket ideas are:
A Cookie Basket
Treat your dog to a little extra sweetness this year with a dog-friendly cookie box. There are plenty of premade options you can buy, like these from Wüfers. If you feel ambitious, you can also bake some of your own.
A Toy Basket
If your dog loves to play, you might want to opt for an Easter basket full of toys. Some new chew toys or fetch accessories will definitely get his tail wagging. Smart dogs might even enjoy unwrapping their new toys themselves.
An Easter-Themed Basket
Get really festive with your doggy Easter basket this year by choosing holiday-themed items to put inside. From toy rabbits and ducks to a pastel bowtie, the Easter possibilities are truly endless for your pup.
Cat Easter Baskets
Our feline friends should not be left out of the Easter fun. With a little bit of effort and creativity, you can create truly special cat Easter baskets. Here are some ideas:
A Basket Full of Treats
If your cat loves a good treat, add a few new flavors to your Easter basket. Do you typically stick to treats with a fishy flavor? Try a duck option. New treats are a great way to show that special feline how much you care.
Toys, Toys, Toys
Cats love to play, so gifting them a new toy is always a fun way to show your affection. A laser pointer can provide fun for an active kitty but give a great treat afterward to avoid frustrating them (since they can never “catch” the light). Teasers and wands allow you to participate in your cat’s activity. You can even fill the basket with Easter-themed catnip toys for an extra festive flair.
All the Easter Gear
There are plenty of Easter items for cats at your local pet store. If you want to take some seasonal photos, you might want to consider investing in some bunny ears, an egg hat, or a pastel tie or dress. Not all cats love dressing up, however. These cat Easter baskets might provide more fun and excitement for you than for kitty.
