What is a “Gotcha Day?”
A Gotcha Day is a special day for any pup and their family. It’s the day that you celebrate your pup coming into your life!

No matter how you got your pup, Gotcha Day is a day to celebrate them!
The Invite List
No matter what the occasion, dogs always enjoy a good party. And what better way to celebrate your furry friend than by inviting their favorite pals? Whether from the dog park or your family and friends, including your pup’s buddies in the festivities. After all, this is a party for your dog, so everyone should be included! Plus, it’s a great opportunity for all the pups to socialize and have a fun time together. So round up your dog’s besties and prepare for a paw-ty to remember!
Dog Attire & Clothing
While clothing may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of your dog, dressing them up occasionally has several benefits. For one thing, it can help to protect their fur from dirt and debris. And in the case of smaller dogs, a sweater or coat can provide an extra layer of warmth on colder days. But beyond practical considerations, dressing up your dog can also be a great way to show off their personality. A bright bandana or patterned shirt is perfect for letting your furry friend stand out from the crowd. And of course, it’s also a lot of fun! So if you’re looking for a way to make your dog’s next walk a little more special, consider giving them something cute to wear.
Lending a Paw at Decorating
Decorating for your dog’s birthday party is one of the best parts. There are many choices, and you can let your imagination run wild. Pick up or order decorations that fit the theme of your party. Get some streamers and balloons in your pup’s favorite color. You could even get a personalized banner with their name on it. Whatever you choose, make sure the decorations are fun and pack a punch. After all, it is a party for your furry friend. They deserve the best of the best.
Paw-ty Fun and Games
Get creative and do fun training games with your pup and the other dog guests. This is a great way to keep everyone entertained, and It’s also a great way to bond with your pup. Plus, it’s a lot of fun! You could set up an obstacle course for the pups to run through. Or you could race to see who can sit the quickest. The possibilities are endless. Make sure everyone is having a good time, including your furry friend.
No paw-ty is complete without favors for the guests. Pick up toys and treats for all the attending pups. This is a great way to show your appreciation for their paw-tying services. And, of course, they’ll love getting some goodies to take home with them. It’s always a good idea to have extras on hand, just in case some of the pups get a little too excited and start to play too rough.
