Dog Birthday Hats

For a dog's birthday photo, most shoppers here choose the gold dog birthday crown: one felt crown with a white elastic chin strap and a sliding toggle, made for small dogs, toy breeds and cats. If you would rather have a classic cone hat, the mini party hat packs have cones about 5 in tall and mention small pets as a fit. All of these are small, so they suit toy and small breeds best, and a large dog will wear them as a tiny topper. Keep wear time short and stay close.

  1. Most-ordered for this search: one gold glitter felt crown for small dogs and cats with a toggle-adjusted chin strap.

  2. Nine mini pom pom cones about 5.3 in tall plus gold and silver crowns; the listing notes they suit pets too.

  3. Eleven paper hats, cones about 5.1 x 3.5 in on 15.7 in elastic, listed for small pets and pet birthday photos.

  4. Twelve pre-shaped 5 in cone hats with strings attached, suggested for small pets during supervised birthday photos.

What to look for

  • Fit the strap snug but not tight: you should be able to slide a finger or two under it. The pet crown's toggle makes this quick; on paper hats, tie the elastic shorter rather than stretching it.
  • Put the hat on right before the photo, take a few shots, and take it off. Let your dog sniff it first and reward calm behavior so the moment stays relaxed.
  • Remove pom poms or keep the hat out of reach after photos if your pet likes to chew. Paper hats and pom poms are not toys.
  • A 5 in cone suits small dogs and cats in scale. On a large breed, place the hat toward the top of the head and frame the photo closer so it still reads.
  • A multi-pack lets the human guests match the birthday dog. See our dog birthday party planning guide for the rest of the day.

Measuring before you buy

Measure around your pet’s head just in front of the ears and under the chin, then compare it with the strap lengths above. A short string can be tied longer with a spare piece of elastic; a long one can be knotted. Our guide to measuring your dog for a crown walks through it.

Frequently asked questions

Will a birthday hat fit my cat?

The gold crown is made for cats and kittens as well as small dogs, and its toggle strap adjusts. The mini cone hats are small enough for most cats too; keep sessions brief and supervised.

What size dog do these hats fit?

They are mini hats, best for toy and small breeds. On a medium or large dog they still stay on with the strap but look like a small topper on the head.

Are the cone hats ready to use?

The 12-hat set arrives pre-shaped with strings attached, so you only press on the pom poms. The two 11-piece sets ship flat and need folding and gluing first.

Can my dog wear the hat for the whole party?

These are photo props, not pet garments. Put the hat on for pictures, then take it off, and don't leave your pet alone with it.

Can the crown be reused for next year?

Yes. The felt pet crown can be flattened for storage and shaped again before the next celebration.
