🐕‍🦺 As the Pet Parade host, Bend Park & Recreation District wants participants to remain healthy and safe.

➡️ Before, during, and after the parade, a veterinarian will be on-site at the staging area by the Information/First Aid booth.

Tips for keeping your pet comfortable at the Pet Parade include:
✔️ Before and after the parade, find a cool, shaded place to rest.
✔️ Provide plenty of fresh water, available at the parade staging area and en route. Bring water for you and your pet as well.
✔️ Keep an eye on your pet’s foot pads for overheating or soreness.

The forecast is calling for milder temperatures on Friday, but it's good to be prepared and aware.

🎉 We're looking forward to seeing all of the parade participants soon!
