The next Easter rolls around, don’t just put together an Easter basket for your kids; make one for your favorite dog too! Our canine friends deserve some great Easter gifts, and putting together a dog Easter basket is just as easy as making one for the kids. You just have to know what to put in one.
That’s why we’re here with creative ideas for dog Easter baskets. Add some (or all) of the following to your pup’s basket, and they’re sure to have a blast on Easter day!
The 3 Easter Baskets
The first thing you’ll need is an Easter basket, of course. Here are some examples of adorable Easter baskets you can get for your dog!
1. Plastic Easter Baskets
Plastic Easter baskets like this one are a great idea if you have more than one puppy. Not only are they cheap, but they usually come in sets of three or more, so there will be plenty to go around. And if your favorite dog chews their basket, it’s not a big loss because they are so cheap. These cute baskets can hold quite a bit, so you’ll have plenty of room to add treats, toys, and more!
2. Willow Easter Baskets
If you want to be more fond of plastic baskets, you can go with a classic willow Easter basket! These baskets come in many sizes and shapes, and you can get them with single or double handles. You can also find them with or without canvas inside. So, whatever you’re looking for, you should be able to find what you need. Plus, this basket will last a long time (provided your pup doesn’t get their feet in it), so you can reuse it for years!
3. Plush Chick Easter Baskets
Looking for an Easter basket that’s cute rather than utilitarian? Look no further than this incredibly cute plush chick Easter basket! This adorable chick can double as another gift if your pup is the type that loves plushies. Plus, if chicks aren’t up your alley, you can find baskets in other shapes like bunnies!
The 4 Easter Dog Toys
Of course, you’ll need to add plenty of Easter toys for your dog! Check out these great ideas.
4. Peeps for Pets
Peeps are an Easter classic, so why not get some for your furry friend? These plush toys are licensed by Peeps and are cute as a button. Your dog will have hours of fun squealing at these bunnies! And since you got three bunnies, you can share the fun if you have multiple dogs. This is a toy that is an absolute must for any dog’s Easter basket.
5. Frisco Easter Bunny and Egg Plush with Rope Dog Toy
Our furry friends love rope toys, so why not get them with an Easter theme? This rabbit and egg rope toy by Frisco comes with plush toys on the rope, so it’s like a two-in-one for your dog! They get to play tug-of-war with you, and then when they need a break, they can chew on the soft parts (which squeak and squirm). This toy has it all, making it a great addition to any pup’s Easter basket.
6. Star Wars Easter Mandalorian and Grogu Plush Squeaky Pet Toys
What’s cuter than Baby Yoda? Baby Yoda with a Mandalorian rabbit! This toy dog might be the most amazing thing we’ve ever seen; plus, they vibrate, so your pup is sure to have a blast on them. While this may not be the best addition to an Easter basket for large breeds or heavy chewers, it will certainly offer a lot of fun for those who might have it. So, if yours is a Star Wars household, you might want to add this to your dog’s Easter basket!
7. Petstages Carrot Stuffer Treat-Dispensing Interactive Dog Toy
What Easter basket is complete without adding a treat toy? Don’t get any treat toys, though; find something Easter-related, like this cute carrot! This is a slightly easier treat toy, as the holes in it are quite large, but it will still provide plenty of entertainment for your canine pal. Plus, they’ll love eating all those delicious treats.
The 4 Easter Treats
Speaking of treats, you can’t have an Easter basket without some of these! While kids can get chocolate, you’ll need something safe for your dog. Here are some dog-friendly treats they’ll want to eat right away.
8. Bocce’s Bakery Sunday Roast Chicken & Pumpkin Recipe Treats
Easter is a time for treats, so why not get your favorite pup some of the best? These Bocce’s Bakery treats are the perfect size for smaller breeds, are made from natural ingredients, and have only four calories, so they won’t pack on the pounds. They are also wheat free, so if your dog is sensitive, it should be safe. Plus, canines will love the roasted chicken and pumpkin flavor. These treats are also super affordable, so they won’t break the bank!
9. Three Dog Bakery Lick’ n Crunch Sandwich Cookies Golden & Vanilla Flavor Dog Treats
Give your dog a fancy treat this Easter with these sandwich cookies by Three Dog Bakery. These delicious cookies look just like the ones you’ll eat and have a real vanilla filling that’s sure to please your pup’s taste buds. They’re a little high in calories for a dog treat, but Easter is a special occasion, and as long as you give them sparingly, they should be fine. And if you think your pet won’t like vanilla, there are two other flavors they can try!
10. Claudia’s Canine Bakery Pink Passion Dog Cookie Assortment
You’d rather treat your pup to a variety of hand-made, oven-baked cookies instead. This cookie assortment by Claudia’s Canine Bakery has fun shapes and honey vanilla flavoring, making it an extra special treat. These cookies seem to be a big hit with dogs, if pet parents are to be believed.
