Calling all costumed canines!
Whether your dog is ‘paws’itively frightening or ear-scratchingly adorable, we love to see them all. Photo opportunities abound in Pumpkin Village and vendors will delight your furry friends with special treats. With two costume contests each day and a special category in honor of this year’s Scarecrow theme, Best Bug, there’s plenty of chances to win and a guaranteed, tail-wagging good time.
Dogs must be on a leash at all times. Dogs are not allowed inside any buildings. Owners are responsible for and must clean up after their pups.
We will have water refill and doggie bag stations on the property. Please BYOBowl to fill and refill with water for your dog.

Bring Your Own Bowl
We will have water refill and doggie bag stations on the property. Please BYOBowl to fill and refill with water for your dog.
If you don’t have a collapsible bowl and want something that’s easy to carry around, try making one out of materials you could already have at home. Like this one from a dog food bag or this one from a cereal box and bag.
For more information on why we no longer provide communal bowls, check out this article from the AKC and this article from Preventative Vet.
Please keep all pet friends on leash at Cheekwood and do not bring them into any of the buildings.
