Free unleashed fun for dog lovers and pooches of all sizes when historic Cotton Bowl field transforms into a tail-wagging time complete with splash pools, a pet/owner look-alike contest and more.
Flaunt your four-legged fur ball at Fair Park’s Cotton Bowl Stadium for the free, seventh-annual Dog Bowl from 1 – 5 p.m. Sunday, April 7, when Dallas’ most historic football field transforms into a super-fun dog park for canines of all sizes to romp and run unleashed!
Enjoy pooch-pleasing pastimes including a pet/owner look-alike contest, giveaways, exhibits, pooch portraits, canine crafts, music by Dallas’ seasoned jazz bassist Barri Pearson, and more. (Please note: A nominal fee applies for pooch portraits and crafts.)
Talk to trainers, veterinarians and pet product vendors, and learn the latest tips and trends in the tail-wagging world, plus take advantage of special pricing on vaccinations and microchipping thanks to Luv My Pet. And check out local dog clubs, rescue groups and animal welfare organizations with adoptable dogs at the Woofstock “tail” gating zone outside the entrance gate of the Cotton Bowl.
Misting ponds and giant “dip and sip” splash bowls will keep canines cool and quenched, while humans will have the opportunity to enjoy refreshments (including beer) and other concessions.
