WARNINGS AND SAFETY CONCERNS: Due to the large number of dogs and people who come to Octoberpets, please comply with the following:
1. ALL DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH. Your dog may be friendly and sociable but others may not be. Noise and crowds can easily agitate well-behaved dogs. To avoid accidents, keep all dogs on a leash.
2. BRING WATER. The heat and excitement can cause your dog's body temperature to rise. To avoid heat stroke, bring cold water and allow your dogs to drink frequently.
So folks, remember Octoberpets. That's on 10/10/10!!! See you all there!
