The 2025 Tacoma Kennel Dog show is this weekend from Friday to Sunday at Frontier Park in Graham!

If you're interested in dog sports or looking to add a new breed to your household, it's worth it to check out the various dog events! Watching the Breed Ring will give you an idea of conformationally correct pups, while the various sports will grow your understanding of what it takes to get there.

Only dogs entered in an event are allowed on the show grounds. Parking is $10 cash per day. For more information you can follow this link: https://tacomakennelclub.org/general-show-information/

Today is World Chocolate Day!

While we hope you treat yourself, remember that chocolate (along with xylitol/birch sugar, grapes, raisons, avocado, yeast dough, to name a few more) is poisonous to our pups.

If you're concerned your dog ate something dangerous, call your vet or a pet poison hotline.
