Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with Your Pup

Get your green ready; St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner! It’s time to celebrate and partake in lots of fun activities! While street parties and bar hopping are fun for humans, dogs can easily get overwhelmed by large crowds and noises. If you want to stay in, we gathered some fun festivities to celebrate with Fido! If you plan on bringing your furry friend along for the ride, read this article beforehand for some safety tips!

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.
