Get your green hats and four-leaf clovers ready—St. Patrick’s Day falls on March 17th this year! While you get ready for the day’s festivities, make sure to reserve a spot for your four-legged friend. Your puppy may not be able to drink or eat traditional foods served on St. Patty’s Day, but they can definitely partake in other fun activities.
Whether it’s dressing in green or watching a St. Patrick’s Day, there are so many exciting things your furry bestie will appreciate! Take a look at our favorite dog-friendly tips to make the most out of this special holiday with your puppy.
On St. Patrick’s Day, it doesn’t matter if you’re Irish or not—everyone is free to celebrate, your pup included! Your puppy can show off their Irish pride in various creative ways like:
Nothing brings out the Irish in others like a good St. Patrick’s Day parade. Your puppy is also welcome to experience the beautifully decorated floats and musical performances. Before you and your fur-baby head out the door, don’t forget to consider your puppy’s needs.
Parades are usually filled with loud noises, large crowds of strangers, and other things that can scare your puppy. Make sure your puppy is able to handle being around unfamiliar people. At the event, do not leave your furry friend out of your sight so they don’t accidentally get lost. Other than that, dress your pup in their best St. Patrick’s Day outfit and check out any local parades in your area.
You may already know the biggest truth about puppies: the way to their heart is through food! St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect occasion to gather your friends, relatives, and puppy together for a delicious brunch! You can host in your home, and be extra careful to serve healthy, edible foods for your furry guests!
If hosting at home seems like too much work, you can always hold the brunch at a restaurant. Of course, not all restaurants are open to having canine guests so be sure to call ahead before making any plans. Fortunately, Florida has numerous dog-friendly places that would happily welcome your cuddly buddy.
We know your puppy is photogenic, and they look absolutely adorable in their St. Patrick’s Day getup. Why not take the opportunity to take hundreds of pictures of your furry friend? Whether you’re attending brunch or wearing matching costumes, don’t hesitate to take as many Instagram-worthy pictures as you’d like.
You can play around with the angles and change up the lighting to create beautiful images that will last a lifetime. If you want to give your pictures a special St. Patty’s Day touch, tape a bit of green cellophane around your phone’s flash to make interesting pet portraits. You can also hire a dog-friendly professional photographer if it’s something within your budget.
While it’s easier to purchase a costume, there’s something inspiring about creating your puppy’s own St. Patrick’s Day outfit. It doesn’t need to be an expensive venture either—just visit your local thrift store like Goodwill and look for themed children’s clothes. You can find great, high-quality clothes that can fit your pooch.
Depending on your puppy’s size, you may need to make some modifications so that it fits them well enough for walks. Check Pinterest and DIY blogs for themed holiday ideas that you can use to decorate your puppy’s new clothes.
However you choose to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with your fur-baby, never forget the number one rule: have fun! Don’t be afraid to get creative with your puppy’s outfits, even if it’s just a bandana. Take out your smartphone and start snapping some photos. Go on adventures around the nearest city with your puppy. St. Patrick’s Day is a time to bond with your furry bestie and make them a part of your holiday festivities. We hope this list helps you and your puppy have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day!
