What a fun day at the parade! 🇺🇸🍓

We loved getting to see so many smiling faces, waving hands, and familiar friends along the route today. Thank you to everyone who cheered us on and stopped by to see us!

And in true South Rhea fashion… our good ole American good boy, Gunner, may have just found himself a forever family after making his parade debut. ❤️🐾 We’d say he worked the crowd pretty well.

Thank you for supporting local businesses, local events, and local pets in need. We’re proud to be part of this community year after year.

Hey Strawberry Festival family!
For the SAFETY and well-being of all our guests and our furry friends, bringing pets to the Tennessee Strawberry Festival is strongly discouraged. Let’s work together to keep this a fun, safe, and welcoming event for everyone. Thanks for your support — we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

South Rhea Animal Hospital is excited to be part of the 79th Annual TN Strawberry Parade on Saturday, May 9th! 🎉

Come cheer us on, see our crafty staff’s creative parade efforts, and don’t miss the fun surprise element on our float! ✨ Plus… we’ll have LOTS of candy to share 🍬

We can’t wait to see our amazing community come together with this awesome week-long event our local Dayton, TN Chamber of Commerce puts on every year!

For everyone’s safety, the festival does not allow pets. Leave them at home where they’ll be comfortable and stress-free!

It's going to be a tail-waggin’ good time and hope to see you there! 🍓🤍💙
