Phoenix Zoo invites guests to bring their dogs for ‘Tails on the Trails’ event

Phoenix Zoo attendees will be able to bring their canine companions along with them for one day in November, the zoo announced Wednesday.

The “Tails on the Trails” event will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 14, while zoo members will have their standard early entry one hour early at 8 a.m. Admission is standard for people, while each dog attending will cost $35.

The zoo has a day worth of dedicated events for the four-legged friends, including a Dog Parade where awards are at stake.

Here are some of the other planned highlights of the event:

• Dogs with Jobs Demo — showcases some of the hard work done by K-9, service and trick dogs
• Paws and Play Zone — designated areas for dogs to play with “enrichment toys” and interact with each other
• Cool Canine Club — the event is in November, but there’s never a bad time to cool off in specialized pools
• Poses with Paws — photo ops staged around the zoo

The Phoenix Zoo will have regulations in place, such as requiring all dogs attending to be at least 6 months old and up to date on required vaccinations.

Dogs must be kept on nonretractable leashes that are a maximum of 6 feet long along designated paths. Several exhibit areas will be restricted to the dogs for all animals’ safety.

Dogs will be turned away if they are “sick, injured, in-heat, aggressive or highly reactive,” according to the zoo’s announcement.
