70 Funny Puns for Your Dog's Birthday (and Every Other Holiday, Too!)

If you are a dog lover or puppy parent, then you are probably no stranger to posting adorable photos of your pup on social media — because after all, they are the cutest. While followers will already be double tapping because of those puppy eyes, a dog Instagram caption can't hurt. And if you are a pun lover, too, then these funny dog puns make for the perfect dog jokes to accompany your selfie with Fido or Scout.

Whether you need festive and funny Halloween puns to accompany photos of your matching dog and owner Halloween costumes, cute and punny pet Valentine's Day captions, or a short dog pun for a Throwback Thursday, you're sure to find the perfect pun to fit your needs.

These puns will be just as relatable as the best dog quotes out there, and while your pet won't understand the joke, they'll be happy to wag their tail along with your laughter. And if you have cats at home, too, then extend the humor to all of your precious pets with these funny cat puns. (Not that you need an excuse to take any more cute photos of them for the 'gram!)
