Here at Take a Break Pets, spending Easter with our loved ones includes our furry babies too, which is why we want to spoil them with Easter dog treats. While we all know Easter isn't just about chocolate, nothing quite says thanks fur being the best like a shiny foil-wraped treat. But don't worry, where your pup is involved there's no human chocolate included, only dog-safe alternatives. Make it a paw-fect Easter weekend with the cutest, yummiest and funniest Easter dog food and treats. We've wrapped up the best Easter eggs, costumes and toys just for you.

This Easter, dress up your dog in an adorable pastel coat and enjoy a spring gambol among the daffodils. And how about stringing some bunting up around the garden and getting your pooch involved in their very own Easter Egg Hunt?

Dogs in bunny ears are all very well and good, but for us, it's simply not Easter without an egg. Whilst chocolate is a no-no for doggos, there are some paw-some Easter dog treats that are dog-friendly and made from carob - the safe alternative to be looking for in your doggy treats.

If you really want to spoil your pup, present them with their very own treat box in an Easter-themed basket. You can make your own from the goodies we've featured below or you may find that Dog subscription boxes may offer some extra special toy and snack boxes for the Easter period. For irresistible treats in delicious Easter-themed flavours, read on for some of the very best Easter dog treats for the season.

Best Easter chocolate-themed plush toy

Bark Cadfurry Eggs Chocolate Easter Eggs Plush Dog ToyPets at Home

It's no yolk how much we love this duo of Bark Cadfurry Eggs Chocolate Easter Eggs Plush Dog Toys. They're made with crinkly material, two squeakers and a fluff-filled centre to capture your pup's attention. It comes with one 'wrapped' and one 'unwrapped' egg so it's a great gift for multi-dog homes.

Customer review: "I love these toys. They are so cute and great quality. A little hard to push the squeaker and my really tiny dog hasn't squeaked it yet and the toy is solid. My dog is a Chorkie and very small but he can carry these and play with it very well. He really likes them. I ordered them online and it actually comes with two not one. I thought the stock photo was a photo of the toy front and back so that was a nice suprise. Well worth the money. Definitely recommend for small dogs and puppies. Bigger dogs may be able to destroy it in seconds lol."

The 2024 Easter weekend lands on the last week of March, with Good Friday kicking it off on Friday 29 March, Easter Sunday on 31 March and Easter Monday on 1 April.

Can I make my own Easter treats for my pup?

Yes, you can make your own Easter dog treats! There are plenty of recipes and easy tutorials online where you can make your dog their own Easter-themed treats. We're a fan of this guide from Chewy Eats which has two easy flavours of Easter treats - peanut butter and strawberry. As with any doggy treats, however, make sure to only give to your dog in moderation!
