Who doesn’t love playing a fun game of “Would You Rather?” It reminds me of middle school and summer camp! But now that I’m a dog mom, I’m less interested in asking my friends which crush they would rather kiss! I would rather know what they would pick when it comes to their dogs.

So check out this giant list of would your rather animal questions for dog lovers. I broke it down into categories of silly questions, questions to ask your serious dog friends, thought-provoking ones, and finally would you rather questions dog edition… if only they could talk!

These questions are a fun way to get to know your dog friends. They also make great social media content!
