The Dog Day of Summer will feature a full array of "canine-friendly" events. Local animal businesses will be on hand to pamper pups and owners alike.

The Shock Dog VIP Lounge will be featured on Dog Day and will be an area where dogs can receive complimentary grooming, product sampling and owners can get tricks of the trade in obedience training. Dog owners can also get health information from the Michigan Humane Society and learn about doggy CPR from local veterinarians.
All dogs must be kept on leashes throughout the event. Proof of vaccinations must be presented before entrance to Dog Day. An outdoor rest area will be provided for all dogs and owners.
