Your dog is eligible to attend if:

• Is old enough to be around other dogs and people (at least 6 months of age)
• Is in relatively good health
• Is friendly toward humans and not excessively fearful of loud noises (there are fireworks)
• Is a Guardians fan!

Your dog is NOT eligible to attend if:

• Has aggressive tendencies towards other dogs or humans
• Is a female dog in season
• Does not like loud noises or fireworks
• Has issues with heat and/or wind
• Is still too young to mix with a big crowd (under 6 months)
• Is a senior dog that would have trouble walking and/or being outside for an extended period of time
• Is exhibiting any signs of illness close to the day of the game (ie. cough, nasal discharge, lethargy, diarrhea, etc.); These symptoms can be signs of potentially infectious illnesses and it would probably be best for your do as well as the other dogs in attendance, if they did not attend

Older dogs, dogs with short muzzles and/or dogs in general that are quickly prone to heat exhaustion should consider not attending this event or possibly plan on not staying for the entire game. Even though there will be cool water, heat can be a deadly factor for dogs. Water will be served community bowl-style. If you require a separate drinking container for your dog, please bring one. Dogs cool themselves down by panting and are not nearly as efficient as us humans. Please keep the comfort and safety of your dog in the forefront of your mind when planning out this fun day at the park.
