When Your Pet Is In The Wedding Party

by Leave a Comment

June is known for weddings. And with the return of more normal activities, we know that many people will be getting married, attending weddings, or heading off to delayed honeymoons.

That means your floofin might need pet care services or even require a handy Floofins & Co. specialist to help your pet take part in the ceremony. 

If you want to include your pet in your ceremony, contact us. We love helping you get your pet to the venue; walk them down the aisle; or even assist your pet in their ring bearing role. Having a specialist on hand can take one more worry off your list. You can relax while Floofins & Co. holds the leash.  [Read more…] about When Your Pet Is In The Wedding Party

Where In The World is the Westminster Dog Show?

by Leave a Comment

If you’re a fan of the Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) annual dog show, you may have searched in vain for it this month. Like all gatherings, this event had to make some changes due to the pandemic.

What typically is a televised event in February, due to restrictions and safety protocols, was pushed forward to June. And, like all events that involve gatherings of people, this one could be subject to change if circumstances in the world shift. 

What You Need To Know

According the WKC’s press release, the 145th annual event will take place June 12-13th in Tarrytown, New York. The event will be held at Lyndhurst, which is a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. 

Westminster Kennel Club President Charlton Reynders III said that the venue was chosen because it “allows us to hold a dog show safely while following current social distancing guidelines and public health regulations.”

How You Can Watch

Attendance will be limited despite the “wide-open outdoor space” of the venue, but the WKC’s website recommends you check back as the event nears. 

However, if attending in person isn’t on your to do list, consider tuning in to Fox Sports Network. They will be covering the event. And, the Best In Show competition will be shown live for the first time this year on Fox.

Schedule of Events

  • Masters Agility Championship on Friday, June 11, 2021 
  • Junior Showmanship, Breed, Group, and Best in Show judging on June 12 – 13, 2021
  • The Masters Obedience Championship will be on Sunday, June 13, 2021
