Pet Birthday and Gotcha Day Party Supplies

For a dog or cat birthday photo, you need one small headpiece and a simple backdrop. The gold pet crown has an adjustable elastic strap with a sliding toggle and is made for short, supervised photo sessions with small dogs, cats and toy breeds. Mini paper cone hats about 5 in tall also work for small pets and plush toys, and a few balloons kept up high make the backdrop. Measure your pet's head before party day, and take every hat off as soon as the photos are done.

The crown is a single reusable piece that flattens for storage, so it suits a yearly birthday or gotcha day portrait. The paper hats come in multiples, which helps when several pets, or pets and kids, are in the same shot.

Measure before party day

Two measurements decide the fit: the gap across the top of the head between the ear bases, and the strap loop from one ear base under the jaw to the other. The strap should rest under the jaw toward the chin, never around the throat. Our guide to measuring your dog or cat for a crown shows where to hold the tape. Collar size doesn't help here.

Keep it short, supervised and safe

Treat the gold dog birthday crown and the paper hats as photo props: a minute or two on, a few shots, then off. Remove them sooner if your pet shows signs of stress such as lip licking, yawning or pawing. The crown isn't a chew toy, and pom poms, glue dots, ribbon and balloon pieces can be swallowed, so keep them out of reach and pick up any popped balloon right away.

Pet party planning checklist

  • Measure the ear gap and strap loop, and compare them with the crown photos or mini hat sizes.
  • Do a short trial fitting a few days before, with treats and praise.
  • Set up the backdrop above nose and jump height, for example the blue polka dot balloon pack taped high on a wall.
  • Keep the party short and the guest list to animals your pet already knows.
  • Serve dog-safe treats and keep chocolate, xylitol, grapes and onions out of reach.
  • Take the photos early, while your pet is calm, then remove the hat or crown.

Planning guides

Frequently asked questions

Will the gold crown fit my dog?

It is made for small dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and toy breeds, with an adjustable elastic strap and sliding toggle. The listing gives no exact measurement, so compare the product photos with your pet's ear gap.

How long can my pet wear the crown?

Only for short, supervised photo sessions. It is a decorative prop, not a long-wear garment or chew toy, so remove it after the photos or at any sign of stress.

Can I use kids' party hats on my dog or cat?

The mini cones, about 5 in tall on a 3.5 in base, suit small pets for quick photos. Standard 7.9–8.4 in cones are usually too large for small pets.

Are balloons safe at a dog party?

Keep them above nose and jump height and pick up popped pieces and ribbon right away, since dogs can swallow them. Air-filled balloons taped to a wall are easier to keep out of reach.
