A birthday card from one dog to another? Absolutely. They’ve sniffed each other’s bottoms. That’s practically a lifelong friendship.

If you’re writing a dog birthday card on behalf of another dog, a partner or the whole family, the sender gives you a lovely starting point. Here are a few ways to make it feel like it came from them.

From one dog to another

• Happy birthday, mate. See you at the park. I’ll bring absolutely nothing.
• Roses are red, violets are blue. You sniff my bum, so I sniff you.
• Hope your birthday is full of good smells and snacks you don’t have to share.

From the whole family

• Happy birthday to our favourite family member. Please don’t tell the others.
• With love from your humans. Thank you for keeping us well walked.
• Another year of you making this house a home. And a bit of a mess.

From a human to a friend’s dog

• Happy birthday to the only one who never cancels our walks.
• Thanks for keeping my friend company. And for letting me visit your sofa.
• You’re a very good dog. Your human told me to say that.

What goes on an edible card?

Choose an edible dog birthday card, then add your message with a dog-friendly edible ink pen. Edible refers to the ink and card, not the pen itself. Remove all packaging before the dog gets their treat.
