St. Patrick’s Parade
If you plan on taking your furry friend to a parade or public event, ensure your dog has their identification tags before leaving the house. Dogs can easily separate from their owners at crowded events, so double-checking is vital. Pack the bag with water, food, treats, and poop bags in case Fido needs any essentials while out. Also, remember to check your dog’s temperament throughout the event to see their feelings and if they need anything. Canines are known for either freezing or bolting when stressed or overwhelmed, so we recommend doing little check-ins with them away from the crowd.
