At every Puptown Lounge location, Santa will be hanging out in our Small Dog Playrooms!

My dog isn’t fond of other dogs. Can we still participate?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If your pup is uncomfortable around other dogs but is totally fine with humans, we can absolutely accommodate you.

When you arrive, give us a quick call. We’ll check you in over the phone and let you know as soon as the lobby is clear so you can safely bring your pup inside to see Santa.
