August 2021 Puppy Party in North Versailles

When Are Puppy Parties Held?

Walkers Pet HoTail Pet Care Center has held free puppy parties for dogs under 2 years old almost every month since we opened. (We held special events in October and December!)

Walkers had cancelled our Puppy Parties (for dogs under 2 years old) out of an abundance of caution due to COVID

We brought them back in a manner that adheres to CDC Guidelines for COVID safety on weekends to make it easy for people to attend when there weren’t many other activities available.

Now that people have started traveling again, we are going back to holding them on WEEKNIGHTS

What Are Puppy Parties?

• These parties help puppies socialize and build positive experiences with new friends (both human and K9) helping them learn appropriate ways to behave.
• Puppy playgroups are organized by size – so little pups aren’t overwhelmed by big ones.  All Puppy Parties are supervised by our staff.
• Puppy parties are held “Rain or Shine” – outside in our fenced in play yards or inside if the weather doesn’t cooperate!
• We encourage everyone, especially parents of children who are thinking about getting a new puppy,  to ask questions about what they see.  This will help them learn about the many varieties of dogs as well as the many the responsibilities of helping a puppy grow up to be a good dog.
• Puppy parties are still FREE for anyone to attend.  Call Walkers at (724) 327-PAWS (7297) in advance to let us know if you are planning to attend

Requirements:

ALL Puppies:

Veterinary records are required– so puppies don’t get each other sick:  Rabies, Distemper Series vaccinations must be current.  The Bordetella (Canine Cough) vaccine must be current and have been given at least 3 days before the party.  Walkers also requires proof of a negative fecal test.  We encourage people to ask their Vet to fax these records to our attention prior to the party to facilitate the check-in process.

Puppies over 6-Months Old:

Must be spayed or neutered to attend a Puppy Party.
