Little Dogs Party More Than Big Dogs

Oct. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- When “Happy Birthday” is sung to a dog, there is strong evidence to suggest the birthday celebration is for a Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terriers ("Yorkies"), Maltese or other small breed. That’s according to http://www.PetBirthdayParty.com. The Internet site has found: the smaller the dog – the more likely its owner will pamper it with a birthday party.

“Upon reviewing the breed registration for our free Birthday Club”, says PetBirthdayParty.com founder Vic Salazar, “the statistics indicate a trend of small dogs far exceeding any of the larger breeds when it comes to pet owners' desire to celebrate pet birthdays.”

Chihuahuas, "Yorkies", Maltese, Dachshunds, Pomeranians, Shih-Tzus, Scottish Terriers and Mini-Pinschers make up 33% of the Birthday Club members at PetBirthdayParty.com. Although not represented in the AKC 2008 top 10 dog breeds, at PetBirthdayParty.com, Chihuahuas are "top dog", representing 10% of the overall registrants. "Yorkies" which ranked second on the AKC's 2008 top breeds list are next at 9%. “Those are phenomenal percentages when you consider we have 56 breeds represented in our birthday club,” says Salazar.  He adds, “For every St. Bernard, Chow or Dalmatian we have twenty times as many Chihuahuas and eighteen times as many 'Yorkies' in our registry.”

PetBirthdayParty.com recognizes its Birthday Club members by posting each pet's birthday on the website monthly. Pet owners can also submit photos of their pet’s party. Birthday Club members receive a free monthly e-mail newsletter that includes special discounts for pet products, important news alerts such as information on the extensive pet food recall, a preview of trends in the pet industry and exclusive training tips from http://www.friscobell.com expert dog trainer Rick Bell. In addition, the website features instructions on how to throw a fun birthday party for a pet. Custom birthday cakes, treats, birthday collars, apparel, party invitations and decorations are also available through the website. Salazar says, “We have teamed with more than 75 pet industry leaders to create a time-saving, one-stop online portal for pet owners to source all of their everyday pet supplies in addition to what they will need for hosting a memorable pet birthday party.”

Also, the Birthday Club isn’t just for dogs. Salazar says, “Cats make up 4% of our membership. From hamsters to horses, all pet owners are welcome to benefit from the resources we have established. The website is easy to remember: PetBirthdayParty.com.”
