Is it just us, or does an Easter egg hunt for dogs sound like THE most dog-friendly fun you can have at Easter?
After all, who says Easter egg hunts are just for kids only? Dogs love searching out hidden tasty treasures around your home or yard just as much.
Think of your dog-friendly Easter egg hunt as a fun and festive dog enrichment activity your pup will LOVE, while you get to sit back and watch the entertainment unfold…all while you chow down on your own chocolate Easter eggs of course!
SIGN. US. UP. IMMEDIATELY.
Speaking of signs, we’ve got just the thing to decorate your dog Easter egg hunt and make the occasion official, with our Pretty Fluffy Easter Egg Hunt sign below. Simply download and print, it’s that easy.
Read on to see our simple steps for hosting your own Easter egg hunt for dogs, plus some fun and delicious Easter dog treat recipes perfect for the occasion.
Easter Egg Hunt for Dogs in 3 Steps
STEP 1: Download the Pretty Fluffy Easter Egg Hunt sign below, print on an A4 sheet of card paper & place in your yard.
STEP 2: With your dog safely tucked away, plant some of their favourite dog treats throughout the yard.
STEP 3: Release your pooch and watch them search for the yummy goodies!
Easy Dog Treat Recipes & Ideas for Your Dog Easter Egg Hunt
- Homemade dog Easter Eggs (always remove foil first)
- Oven-baked homemade liver dog treats
- DIY Dog Easter Cookies – shaped like a bunny and SO cute!
- A small amount of peanut butter in a hidden or homemade apple Kong dog toy
- Your choice of quality dog treats
- Small pieces of cooked chicken, cabanossi or cheese
Safety Tips & Handy Hints
- If your dog has a ‘dig’ area or sandpit, try burying some of the more durable treats there.
- Ensure the treats included in the hunt are allocated as part of your dog’s daily food intake – just like us humans, too many treats is never a good thing!
- Count the amount of treats hidden to make sure they’re all found and eaten. You don’t want leftover treats luring in other visitors to your yard.
- If you’re having a children’s Easter egg hunt, do this at a separate time to ensure no dogs accidentally eat the kids treats, and vice versa!
- Take your dog for a walk afterwards to make sure they burn off the treats and enjoy some quality holiday time with you.
- Never feed your dog chocolate. This includes Easter eggs!
Happy hunting – wishing you all a fun dog-friendly Easter!

my yorkie loves to do easter egg hunts! we put treats in the plastic eggs, and he finds them, cracks it open and eats his prize! we all get a big kick out of it! 🙂
Such a cute idea Erica! Hope you had a great Easter 🙂
How cute! That is a great idea. We should have done this with my mom’s dog years ago. My mom hid our Easter Eggs outside and the dog found them and ate them. Maybe if she would have had her own Easter treats first she wouldn’t have eaten our eggs :).

True! Double the Easter Hunts, double the fun 🙂
Oh how sweet!! How did Soda do? Did she find all of her Easter treats?
Happy Easter!
xoxo
Yes – happy to report Soda snaffled up all her Easter treats. I now have to make my way to a gym to work off all the chocolate Easter treats I consumed!! x
Serena,
This is just too cute I can’t contain myself! Soda looks so happy in that last photo, did she recover all of her hidden eggs? Honestly, if I set Mamma Biscuit loose in your egg hunt, she would run off into a corner and poop and then she would stare at Soda as she ran around collecting all those eggs! LOL
Happy Easter to you and Soda! I feel like I should just download your sign for the sake of having it, that’s how charming it is!
xoxo
The Biscuits
Ha ha – I think Mamma would stand there in her couture, looking at Soda getting all dirty and messy searching the yard!! 😉
Happy Easter to the Biscuit family! Hope you had a good one xxx
