The next time Easter rolls around, don’t just assemble an Easter basket for your kids; make one for your favorite dog, too! Our canine pals deserve some nice treats on Easter, and putting together a dog Easter basket is just as easy as doing one for children. You just need to know what to put into one.

That’s why we’re here with creative dog Easter basket ideas. Add some (or all) of the following to your pup’s basket, and they will surely be thrilled on Easter day!

The 3 Dog Easter Basket Ideas

The first thing you’ll need is an Easter basket, of course. Here are a few examples of adorably cute dog Easter basket ideas you can get for your pup!

1. Plastic Easter Baskets

Plastic Easter baskets like these are a great idea if you have more than one pup. Not only are they inexpensive, but they usually come in sets of three or more, so there will be plenty to go around. And if your favorite canine chews their basket up, it’s not a great loss because they’re so cheap. These cute baskets can hold quite a bit, so you’ll have plenty of room to add tasty treats, toys, and more!

2. Willow Easter Baskets

If you want to get a bit fancier than plastic baskets, you can go with a classic willow Easter basket! These baskets come in a plethora of sizes and shapes, and you can get them with single or double handles. You can even find them with or without canvas inside. So, no matter what you’re looking for, you should find what you need. Plus, this basket will last a long while (provided your pup doesn’t get their paws on it), so you can re-use it for years!

3. Plush Chick Easter Baskets

Looking for an Easter basket that’s cute rather than utilitarian? Look no further than this incredibly cute plush chick Easter basket! This adorable chick can double as another gift if your pupper is the kind that enjoys plushies. Plus, if the chick isn’t quite up your alley, you can find baskets in other shapes like bunnies!

The 4 Easter Dog Toys

Of course, you’ll need to add plenty of Easter toys for your dog! Check out these excellent ideas.

4. Peeps for Pets

Peeps are an Easter classic, so why not get some for your furry friend? These squeaky vinyl toys are licensed by Peeps and are cute as a button. Your dog will have hours of fun squeaking away on these bunnies! And since you get three bunnies, you can share the fun if you have multiple dogs. This is one toy that is an absolute must for any dog’s Easter basket.

5. Frisco Easter Bunny & Egg Plush with Rope Dog Toy

Our furry friends adore rope toys, so why not get them an Easter-themed one? This bunny and egg rope toy by Frisco includes plush toys on the rope, so it’s sort of like a two-in-one for your dog! They get to play tug-of-war with you, and then when they need a break, they can chew on the plush parts (which squeak and crinkle). This toy has it all, so it’s a great addition to any pup’s Easter basket.

6. Star Wars Easter Mandalorian and Grogu Plush Squeaky Pet Toys

What’s more adorable than Baby Yoda? Baby Yoda with a Mandalorian bunny! This dog toy may be the most amazing thing we’ve ever seen; plus, they’re squeaky, so your pup is sure to have a blast with them. While it may not be the best addition to an Easter basket for large breeds or heavy chewers, it’s sure to offer loads of fun for those who can have it. So, if yours is a Star Wars household, you might want to add this one to your dog’s Easter basket!

7. Petstages Carrot Stuffer Treat-Dispensing Interactive Dog Toy

What Easter basket would be complete without the addition of a treat toy? Don’t get just any treat toy, though; find an Easter-related one, like this cute carrot! It’s a bit of an easier treat toy, as the holes on it are fairly large, but it will still provide your canine pal with plenty of entertainment. Plus, they’ll love chowing down on all those tasty treats.

The 4 Easter Treats

Speaking of treats, you can’t have an Easter basket without a few of them! While the kiddos might get chocolate, you’ll need something pup-safe for your dog. Here are a few dog-friendly treats they’ll want to gobble up immediately.

8. Bocce’s Bakery Sunday Roast Chicken & Pumpkin Recipe Treats

Easter is a time for treats, so why not get your favorite pup some of the best? These treats by Bocce’s Bakery are the perfect size for smaller breeds, are made from natural ingredients, and only have four calories, so they won’t pack on the pounds. They’re also wheat-free, so if your dog has sensitivities, these should be safe. Plus, canines will love the roast chicken and pumpkin flavor. These treats are also super affordable, so they won’t break the bank!

9. Three Dog Bakery Lick’ n Crunch Sandwich Cookies Golden & Vanilla Flavor Dog Treats

Gift your dog a fancy treat this Easter with these sandwich cookies by Three Dog Bakery. These delicious cookies look just like ones you’d eat and have a real vanilla filling that’s sure to please your pup’s taste buds. They’re a bit high in calories for a dog treat, but Easter is a special occasion, and as long as you hand them out sparingly, it should be fine. And if you don’t think your pet will like vanilla, there are two other flavors they can try!

10. Claudia’s Canine Bakery Pink Passion Dog Cookie Assortment

You might prefer to get your pup an assortment of hand-made, oven-baked cookies instead. This cookie assortment by Claudia’s Canine Bakery comes in fun shapes and honey vanilla flavoring, making them an extra special treat. These cookies also seemed to be a big hit with the dogs, if pet parents are to be believed. They’re definitely a bit pricier than other dog treats, but considering it’s a holiday, it might just be money well spent!

11. The Lazy Dog Cookie Co. Soft-Baked Mutt Mallows

These Mutt Mallows treats by The Lazy Dog Cookie Co. sound fantastic, too. These cookies are vanilla-flavored and made with natural ingredients. They don’t contain wheat, soy, corn, and more, so they’re perfect for those with food sensitivities. They’re 24 calories a treat, but because they’re a soft cookie, you can break them into pieces for fewer calories at a time. This was another cookie that was a favorite of canines, so your dog will probably enjoy finding it in their Easter basket!

The 4 Easter Attires

Finally, what’s Easter without some dress-up fun? If your furball enjoys holiday attire, we have just the items to put in their Easter basket!

12. Frisco Hipster Hopster Dog & Cat T-Shirt

Can it really be Easter if your pup isn’t wearing an Easter-themed shirt? As if the Peeps for Pets toys weren’t cute enough, there’s also an officially licensed Peeps shirt! This one has a witty saying (“Have your Peeps call my Peeps”) and is uber adorable. It doesn’t get much cuter than this, and wearing this shirt is pretty much guaranteed to make your dog the hit of Easter day.

13. Frisco Apple Dog & Cat Bandana

Of course, some dogs won’t wear shirts, no matter how much you bribe them. For those canines, why not add a sweet fruity bandana to their basket? This apple bandana by Frisco is lovely and will absolutely jazz up your dog’s Easter vibes. Plus, it lends a hint of spring to any Easter celebration. And if you’d rather have a bandana with bunnies or chicks, you should be able to find one easily enough!

14. Babole Pet Dog Collar Easter Gift with Bow Tie

Bow ties are cool! So, why not toss one into your dog’s Easter basket? This cute bow tie is covered with Easter eggs and comes with an Easter collar to attach it to. The collar and bow tie are cotton, so they’ll be soft and gentle against your pet’s skin, and the collar has a snazzy metal buckle in case your dog wants to wear only that. The whole get-up is truly adorable, and your dog will look fabulous.

15. Bunny Ears

If nothing else, your dog should absolutely have bunny ears the next time Easter rolls around. These adorable bunny ears also come with a carrot toy, so it’s a win-win! You get to see your pup looking extremely cute, and they get a fun rope toy after they’ve suffered through the indignity of wearing bunny ears. These ears are adjustable, so they can fit heads between four and eight inches; be sure to measure your pet’s head before purchasing!
