It is time for a doggy party
Times have been ruff – lets party. That is what dogs are saying about the latest pet craze, a birthday party for your dog.
Sabrina Matara used to be a chef and has found the skills she learnt in a restaurant kitchen easily transfer to creating birthday treats for dogs.
She makes pupcakes and confectionery bones for dog parties.
Matara and her husband, Tama Tua, own the Furr Bro pet service and in-home dog care.
Furr Bro is just branching into dog parties; however, it is big business in many parts of the world. It is easy to find birthday party ideas and recipes online, and specialist shops are springing up..
Pupcake ingredients included bacon, bananas and honey and the accompanying bones contain beef stock and wholemeal flour.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
