Happy birthday wishes for a dog
Pop one into Message. Dogs can’t read, so these are really for the humans in the chat.

Today’s plan: walkies, treats, nap, repeat.

How to make a birthday video for your dog
Choose a pet template
Press Make a video for your dog and pick a design from Templates.
Name and age
Type their name in Name and their age (real or in dog years) in Age, then a line in Message.
Add the best photos and clips
Press Add photos and clips: the puppy photo, the day they ate the cake, a clip of the zoomies.
Export and share
Press Export video and choose GIF for the chat, or Video (MP4), Add music and Export video for a video. Then Share.
Getting good pet photos and clips
Pets are the hardest people to direct, so a little planning helps:
- Get down to their level. Photos from dog height look far better than from above.
- Use treats for attention. Hold one just above the phone to get them looking into the camera.
- Film in short bursts. Five-second clips of a head tilt or a happy spin are the gold.
- Mine the archive. Puppy photos next to recent ones make a lovely “then and now”.
Happy birthday, cat
Cats get a page to themselves: happy birthday cat has drier lines to match their attitude and a square GIF that opens with their name.
Many rescue pets don’t have a known birthday, so families celebrate the day they came home instead. Write “Happy gotcha day” in Message and add the photo from the first day.
The office dog and the class pet
A birthday video for a workplace dog is a gentle way to cheer up a team; the coworker page covers collecting clips from colleagues, and a card for the boss’s dog has been known to work wonders. Schools with a class pet can make one with the children, following the photo advice on the teacher page.
Dog birthday videos: questions
Can I use video clips of my dog?
Yes. Add photos and clips takes short clips as well as photos, so the zoomies can go in.
Can I make one for my cat?
Yes. The pet templates suit cats too; the happy birthday cat page has lines written for them.
What about a pet’s gotcha day?
Same templates: write “Happy gotcha day” in Message instead of happy birthday.
Is it free?
Yes. No account, no watermark, and your photos are never uploaded.
