Bow Wow Bash Pet Contests

This amazingly fun dog competition will start at 3:00pm on Sept 24, 2023. Please register your dog from 12:00-3:00pm at the Contest Booth.

1. Best Kisser

2. Top Talent

3. Best Dressed (this could be best costume, fanciest costume, most creative costume)

4. Best Team Theme Costumes (this could be dog/cat/owner dressed alike, or multiple dogs dressed in a theme)

5. Best of Show (we take the top winners from the other 4 contests to compete for Best of Show)

Many animal owners plan ahead to attend this event each year, preparing some pretty unique costumes for their beloved pets. We’ve had a little boy and his Miniature Pincher both dressed as Woody from Toy Story. We’ve had dogs dressed as Little Red Riding Hood and even a dog dressed as the house from “Up” complete with balloons and her owner was dressed as the little old man!

Ironically, the past few years, we have been fortunate enough to have therapy cats enter the contests, and every year they show up with amazing costumes to compete with the dogs! Last year, the cats were dressed as “Eggstatic Farm” animals. They tied for Best of Show with two dogs dressed as “Beauty and the Beast!” So bring your pets, whether they are dogs, cats, or any pet…and compete for great prizes!

Be creative! We love to see what people come up with and love watching humans having fun with their pets! We also have some fantastic prizes lined up for the winners!
