Ideas for doggie party favors

**cyber-sibes** · 04-27-2006, 08:07 PM

Each dog got a goodie bag for being in the Husky Hike last fall - they got little sample bags of bones & kibble that were pre-packed by the companies - maybe you can contact Purina or a local pet store that might help you out?
Each dog also got a cool lolly-pup from a local doggie bakery, a tennis ball, and a simple bandana. (a triangle of nice fabric cut with pinking shears). Bags included magnets from pet-sitters & groomers, too. Hope this gives you a few ideas.

Can you make a whole bunch of bandana's?

Do you have a Dollar Store? You could buy toys for $1 each and put a bow on them and hand them out.

How many favors are you talking about? 50? 100? And how much are you looking to spend?

If you went to BJ's or Sam's Club you could buy a huge box of treats and then make little treat bags for the pups. Just put about 3-4 treats in a little bag and tie the bag with ribbon.

That's nice of you to want to make the favors. Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide to do. Perhaps you can take pictures of the event. Will Beenie & Frankie be there?

Doggie poop bags are a hit too, not that we actually like them or actually using them but we all know they are a necessity.

Hi! If you want to buy toys cheap to sell contact Petedge.com they have cheap toys and maybe if you call them and tell them what its for they will give it you cheaper. Doesnt hurt to ask. Then go to your local party shop or make up a ribbone or something saying what it was from and palce on toys. You already have a great idea's. I make my pets bandans all the time not the best at it but I have a sewing machine that can embroider info on it so let me know if I can help you. Just PM Me I just need sometime to do them.

P.S> You might also ask some companies if they are willing to donate some toys.

Wal-Mart has those $0.88 toys, they would be even cheaper than going to the dollar store.

I'm going to PM you with a few more ideas.

Thanks for your PM and all your great ideas.

I just emailed the aspca and a local dog store. They get tons of merrick food samples every week. I asked if they could give me some to put in the doggie favor bags. It would cost them nothing and they would get to advertise via me (put a business card in each doggie bag).

I'll let you know what they say.

I don't have a pro shop here to ask for spent tennis balls.

That is a great idea. Thanks. I do have a dollar store...
SAMS club is close by too and I have a membership.

I think I will bring only Beenie because hubby will be out of town that day and Frankie gets too roudy around other dogs.
