Memorial Day Fun for You and Your Dog in Baltimore

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, and it’s the perfect time to include your dog in the celebration.

Whether you’re planning a backyard BBQ, heading out of town, or just enjoying the long weekend, here’s how to make it great for your pup too.

Pet-Safe Holiday Tips

While you’re grilling and relaxing, keep your dog safe:

• Avoid giving them table scraps (especially bones!)

• Make sure they have plenty of fresh water

• Provide a cool, shaded place to rest

Watch Out for Loud Noises

Fireworks and loud gatherings can be stressful for some dogs. If your pup gets anxious:

• Create a calm indoor space

• Use familiar toys or blankets

Consider daycare or boarding for a stress-free day

Make It Fun for Them Too

Instead of leaving your dog out of the festivities, give them something special:

• A day at doggie daycare

• A swim session in our indoor pool

• Extra playtime with their favorite friends

A Time to Remember—and Celebrate

Memorial Day is about honoring and remembering, but it’s also about spending time with the ones you love (dogs included).
