Pooch-A-Palooza

Pooch-​A-​Palooza is so much fun for both me and my dog! There were demos, shows, games, vendors, food, and dogs galore! This was our third year and you can bet we will be back next year!

Highlight of mine and my dogs summer was pooch-​a-​palooza! It was so fantastically set up and there were so many great people there with so much to offer! We left with bags full of free samples, delicious new treats and one tired and happy dog! Thanks for putting together such a fun event! We are counting down the days until next year!

Great event. Lots of stuff for kids, adults, and, of course, dogs. Awesome to see an event that not encourages you to bring your whole family — pup included. It was well thought out — water stations were riddled throughout the venue and constantly changed. There were tons of vendors and lots of freebies. They even did a pooch pageant! Too funny. Lots of prizes and contests were also held throughout the day. All in all, it was amazing. We’ll be back again next year!

SO much for my family and furry family member too! Professionally run and managed, with lots to do and see. Bonus: helping area dog nonprofits while you shop and play. My dog Jae got a massage and a spa visit, met other dogs (all very well behaved), and watched a ‘best kisser’ contest for pointers (pun intended). Great job Pooch-​A-​Palooza folks!

I loved it here! And so did my English Bulldog, Newman. There were so many great booths and giveaways to the dogs. The contests and shows were well organized and fun. Next year I’ll need to enter him in a contest for sure.
To be honest, I thought we’d be there 10 minutes tops as it was a hot day, and Newman gets overheated easily. Plus with tons of other dogs there, he would work himself into a frenzy. However, there were countless water bowls and sprinklers for the dogs to stay cool and we ended up being there over an hour with no trouble at all!
The dog owners were all very pleasant, and we didn’t run across any ‘unruly’ animals anywhere.
I will definitely be making this an annual event.

Great event for dog lovers, was only about 30 minutes from Boston and had a large variety of dog vendors of all kind. There was also a bunch of great food trucks as well that usually don’t make it to the city. I would attend next year.
