Fun Ways to Celebrate National Pet Month with a Party Twist
The Merry Crowd Blog
Introduction
At Let’s Make Merry Pets, we believe every day with your pet is worth celebrating—but if you’re looking for the perfectexcuse to throw some confetti, May is National Pet Month, and that’s basically an official invitation to make a little merry!
Whether your furry friend is a puppy, a senior sweetheart, or somewhere in between, here are five fun and heartwarming ways to celebrate them this month—with a party twist, of course.
1. 🎉 Make It a “Treat Yo’ Self” Day—for Your Pet
Turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary one by spoiling your pet just because they exist (which is honestly reason enough). Let them pick out a new toy, enjoy an extra-long walk, or have a whole “spa day” with grooming, cuddles, and their favorite snacks.
💖 Want to level it up? Set up a treat bar with some of their favorites and top it off with a festive treat topper from our shop. It’s like a party platter... but for paws.
2. 🍰 Bake a Treat Together
Celebrate with a little DIY magic by whipping up a homemade dog cake or pup-approved cupcakes. It’s a sweet way to bond, and it pairs paw-fectly with our treat toppers for a picture-worthy moment.
3. 🧺 Host a Backyard Picnic or Playdate
Pack some snacks (for you and your pup), lay out a blanket, and enjoy the sunshine together. Invite a few dog park pals for a casual pet playdate. Bonus points if everyone wears a festive party accessory!
4. 💕 Celebrate by Giving Back
What better way to honor your pet than to help another in need? May is a great time to support your local shelter—or shop small businesses that give back. This month, we’re spotlighting 11-year-old Maylee, who’s selling handmade bracelets to raise funds for Licking County Animal Shelter.
🐶 Bracelets are just $5 for 3 (+ shipping), and you can order by emailing frostypaws1@outlook.com.
However You Celebrate—Make It Merry
Whether you go big with decorations and dog cake or keep it simple with an extra snuggle and snack, what matters most is honoring the joy your pet brings to your life. After all, they’re more than just pets—they’re family. 🎉🐾
From all of us at Let’s Make Merry Pets, Happy National Pet Month! Now go give that good boy or girl an extra treat (or three).
