Puppy Bowl Season Is Here: How to Celebrate With Your Dog in Austin

If you’re anything like us, the Puppy Bowl is the real main event. Sure, the big game is exciting… but watching a bunch of adorable puppies tackle each other for a squeaky toy touchdown? That’s peak entertainment.

Here in Austin, dog lovers go all out for Puppy Bowl Sunday. From watch parties at your local brewery to making doggy treats and having a little backyard playtime to burn off the excitement.

Here are some fun ways to celebrate Puppy Bowl season with your pup and keep your yard clean and stress-free.

What Is the Puppy Bowl (And Why Do We Love It So Much)?

The Puppy Bowl is an annual event featuring rescue puppies playing in a tiny football stadium, complete with commentary, halftime shows, and some of the cutest “players” you’ve ever seen.

It’s fun, family-friendly, and honestly… It’s impossible not to smile while watching puppies tumble around.

Plus, the Puppy Bowl highlights rescue organizations and helps promote pet adoption in such a fun way!

How Austin Dog Owners Can Host the Ultimate Puppy Bowl Party

If you’re planning a Puppy Bowl watch party in Austin, here are a few easy ways to make it a hit.

1. Set Up a Backyard Puppy Play Zone

Let your dog burn off energy before the game starts! A quick backyard play session can help keep them calmer once the TV turns on.

Some fun backyard game ideas:

  • Fetch with a football-shaped toy
     

  • DIY obstacle course with cones or lawn chairs
     

  • Bubble chasing (dog-safe bubbles only!)
     

  • Tug-of-war tournament
     

Pro tip: Sign up for a DoodyCalls DoodyFresh service so that your backyard is clean, fresh, and safe for pups to run around.

2. Make Puppy Bowl-Themed Snacks

You don’t need to go full gourmet to treat your pup like an MVP.

Some simple dog-safe snack ideas:

  • Frozen peanut butter & banana bites
     

  • Mini pumpkin treats
     

  • Plain cooked chicken pieces
     

  • Carrot sticks (great crunch!)
     

For humans? Bring on the nachos, pizza, and wings! That way, you’ll have leftovers for the big game that night!

3. Dress Your Dog for the Occasion

This is a great excuse to dress your dog up in the cutest outfit, and bonus points if you take photos and post them (tag DoodyCalls ATX, we want to see the cuteness).

Don’t Forget the Post-Game Cleanup… Literally

Some easy Puppy Bowl costume ideas:

  • Bandana in team colors
     

  • Football jersey
     

  • Little referee shirt
     

  • “Most Valuable Pup” tag

After all the backyard zoomies and puppy party excitement, you’ll probably be left with:

  • muddy paw prints
     

  • toys scattered everywhere
     

  • and, of course… dog poop
     

And while poop might not be as exciting as a touchdown, it’s something every dog owner has to deal with—especially in Austin, where we spend so much time outdoors.

FLAG ON THE PLAY! Leaving dog poop in the backyard

Everyone knows that dog poop is gross, but along with the stinkiness, it causes a lot more problems than one might think:

  • attracting flies and pests
     

  • spreading bacteria and parasites
     

  • washing into storm drains during rain
     

  • ruining your grass
     

  • creating a smell that lingers (especially in Texas heat)
     

Even if your dog is healthy, their waste can contain bacteria like E. coli or parasites that can spread to other pets and even humans.

Austin Backyard Tip: Warm Weather Makes the Mess Worse

Austin doesn’t exactly do “cold winter cleanup season.”

Even in February, our weather can swing from chilly to sunny fast, and dog waste breaks down differently in warmer temperatures. That means odor builds up faster, and bacteria can spread more easily.

So if you’re hosting guests for Puppy Bowl Sunday, a clean yard is an absolute game-changer.

How DoodyCalls ATX Helps You Win Every Week

At DoodyCalls ATX, we help local dog owners keep their yards clean year-round, so you can spend more time enjoying your pup and less time dealing with the mess.

Our pet waste removal services include:

  • scheduled weekly cleanups
     

  • thorough yard patrols
     

  • safe disposal of waste
     

  • a cleaner, healthier outdoor space for your family and pets
     

Whether you’re throwing a Puppy Bowl party or just trying to survive the week, we’ve got your back (and your backyard).

Celebrate Puppy Bowl Worry Free

Puppy Bowl season is all about fun, laughter, and celebrating dogs being dogs.

So let them play.
Let them run.
Let them be adorable.
