Thank you to Bridger Veterinary Specialists and West Paw for sponsoring Sweet Pea’s 3rd annual Dog Parade!
Sweet Pea encourages canine participants to come dressed in their most creative finery; donning the Festival’s namesake flower is a bonus.  Dogs must be well-behaved, leashed, able to withstand the stimulus of a large crowd, and tolerant of other dogs. For a complete list of rules and regulations, or to register your pooch for this year’s Dog Parade, please view the 2024 Dog Parade Entry Form . Entry fees can be paid here!  Need an amazing new dog leash?  Get your Sweet Pea dog leash made by West Paw here.  $5 of each leash will be donated back to Wag Kind!
