A Dog's Guide to: Easter

Gather round dog owners, because I (a very good dog, obviously), am here to explain how Easter should be done.

You think it’s about chocolate eggs, roast dinners, and family time.

Wrong.

It’s about me, the dog, living my best springtime life while you try to stop me eating things I absolutely shouldn’t. Let’s get into it.

Before you start unwrapping your fancy chocolate eggs, let’s address the real issue:
Where. Are. Mine.

Luckily, some excellent brands have sorted this:

Lily’s Kitchen – Posh dog Easter eggs (yes, I deserve luxury)

Good Boy – Treat based eggs that disappear in 0.3 seconds

Pet Munchies – not technically eggs, but I’ll allow it

Pooch & Mutt – healthier options (If I'm on a diet)

Human tip: These are dog-safe alternatives. Real chocolate = absolutely not happening.

Look, I will sit nicely. I will be adorable. You will feel guilty and share food.

So here’s what’s actually safe:

Plain cooked chicken or turkey (no seasoning, no skin)

Carrots

Green beans

Small bits of plain scrambled egg

A tiny bit of plain roast potato (no oil, no salt)

Basically, if it’s plain and sad-looking, I can probably have it.

Now this is where you need to really parent me. 

What I CANNOT have (even if I look cute, like I always do):

Chocolate (even “just a little bit”, don’t risk it)

Hot cross buns (raisins = toxic)

Onions & garlic (in loads of roast dinners)

Alcohol 

Fatty scraps (pan drippings, greasy meat)

If I look like I’m plotting something, I am. Watch your plate.

Easter isn’t just about food (I mean, it mostly is), but we can do some fun stuff together too!

Easter Activities (AKA How to Entertain Me Properly):

1. Dog-Friendly Easter Egg Hunt

    Hide treats around the house or garden.

    Let me sniff them out like the genius I am

2. Spring Walk Adventures

    Take me somewhere new. I deserve enrichment.

    Long walks = happy dog = quiet evening. You’re welcome.

3. Embarrassing Easter Photos

    You will try to put bunny ears on me. Fine. But I expect:

    Treats

    Praise

    Immediate removal after photo

4. Brain Games (Because I’m actually smart)

    Snuffle mats

    Puzzle feeders

    Hide-and-seek with toys

    Tire my brain out and I won’t redecorate your house. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Easter is a magical time where food appears constantly, walks get longer and humans are distracted.

Just remember:

Buy me my own treats

Don’t let me eat your chocolate

Include me in the fun (I will sulk if you don’t)

If all goes well, we will have the best Easter ever, and I will be the centre of everybody's attention! Yay!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Love, the dog
