With only two weeks to go, here are a few things you can do plus some fun Easter themed accessories from small Aussie businesses to get your paws on to have a great day.
Organising a Doggy Easter Egg Hunt can be a great way to include your pet. You can put treats in the yard and even an extra boiled egg (without the shell!).
Easter baskets are a long-standing tradition so this year why not make your dog his own special basket and fill it with dog-friendly food and treats and a new toy.
Here are some suggestions to make 2020 memorable for the right reason...
Veggie Paws strives to produce healthy dog treats with all the decadent flavours that we humans enjoy!
Handcrafted exclusively for Veggie Paws by Adelaide’s favourite chocolatier, the Cheeky Chocolate Queen, each of these Carob Eggs is hand wrapped in brightly coloured foil and contains dairy-free, no-added-sugar, dog friendly carob.
Each chocolate is a half Easter egg shape and weighs approximately 25-30g.
RRP: $1.95/piece from veggiepaws.com.au
How about some Hot Cross Buns (Apple Cinnamon) for your pooch this Easter? These paw-shaped biscuits taste just like an apple and cinnamon hot cross bun. Woofalicious!
If you're stuck on Easter gift ideas for your furry friends, look no further.
These gorgeous Easter dog treats from Golden BARKery are sure to impress.
Each box includes 12 homemade Honey & Vanilla dog biscuits, 6 which are beautifully decorated with dog-friendly icing with colours derived from fruits and vegetables. Delicious and nutritious!
The compact size of the treats makes for a perfect Easter puppy gift, beautifully presented in a 13cm gift box.
RRP: $15.00 at goldenbarkery.com.au
Easter baskets are a long-standing tradition so this year why not make your dog his own special basket and fill it with dog-friendly food and treats and a new toy.
Here are some suggestions to make 2020 memorable for the right reason...
- Do not use plastic Easter eggs to hide treats (they're fine for photo shoots if you keep your dogs under supervision). Your dog will not be able to smell them and if they do, the plastic can break and harm them.
- If you have kids, do your dog hunt first to ensure your dog does not pick up chocolate left from children!
- Follow your dog to make sure they get all the treats.

And now for a different kind of hunt and no your dog can't eat those eggs!
The PetSafe Ricochet Electronic Dog Toys are a set of two interactive egg-shaped dog toys that will create endless fun for your pooch.
Once turned on, these toys will pair together automatically to create a digital squeak sound that ‘jumps’ from one toy to the other, to stimulate your dog’s hunting instinct.
The moving squeak provides a fun puzzle for your dog, as the sound is never where he expects it.
The toys have a range of up to 30 feet (9 metres). As your dog gets used to the game you can increase stimulation by hiding one of the toys behind furniture or in a nearby room.

Easter Safety Tips for Pets
#1. Do not feed your pets toxic foods and drinks including chocolate, caffeine or alcohol. Don’t forget to remind your children and guests.
#2. Keep chocolate out of reach and avoid hiding Easter eggs close to the ground if your dog or cat is on the prowl!
#3. Keep your pet away from Easter lilies - especially cats - which are highly poisonous and can even cause severe kidney failure.
#4. Keep your pet away from Easter grass – the fake grass that often accompanies Easter baskets – as when ingested it can become anchored around the base of the tongue or stomach, often requiring expensive abdominal surgery.
#5. Easter ornaments, while they aren't technically a food, can also pose a health hazard. Always keep an eye on your pets around the Easter decorations and try placing pet-alluring décor in high places, safely out of reach.
