Vendors will be offering homemade canine treats, beautiful handmade leashes, toys, jewelry and other pet-related items. Snap a portrait with your pet for your holiday cards. Check out the “Flealess Market” of gently used items and more. Visit with local rescue groups and maybe take home a new best friend. Slightly used dog sports equipment will be for sale, including a full sized Dog Walk.
The event is sponsored in part by Ft. Washington Veterinary Hospital, which will be offering nail trims, SNAP tests, microchipping and acupuncture at discounted rates. Staff members will be on hand to answer health-related questions.
