Helpful Hints For a Great Time

  • All dogs must be current on all vaccinations for entry into the event: rabies, distemper, parvo virus, and bordetella.
  • Prior to entering the waterpark, please walk your dog to help him/her relieve themselves, and be sure to pick up any waste. Waste bags will be available. We would like to avoid accidents in the pool as much as possible.
  • Your dog may be released from the leash upon entering the waterparks.

  • Please do not trim your dog’s nails prior to attending Dog Day Afternoon. Dogs will be running on the concrete area and nails will wear down quickly.

  • Please be aware of where your dog is at all times.
  • Be sure your dog has been exposed to swimming prior to the event.
