Puptoberfest 2022 was a huge success with over 175+ RSVPs who attended our event this weekend! We paw-tnered up with Pet Power Studio, Dogs of San Diego, Swell Gelato, and Piña SD to host a dog-friendly Halloween costume party at our new retail storefront in Encinitas.

Puppy Picnic Co. set up a fall-themed pupnic photo op and soft opened our Encinitas store with dog and picnic items.

While humans sipped on draft specials from Piña in their beer garden, we set up a festive Pup Brew Bar so humans could treat their furry friend to discounted dog beer specials and $5 beer flights from Best Bud’s Brew and Pet Winery.

Swell Gelato served up seasonal Pumpkin Nog gelato for pups.

We had a few other pop-up vendors including Draft & Ink hand-lettered pumpkins, Barks & Crafts bandanas, and BMAC Pet Photography.

Over 40+ pups participated in our Dog Costume Contest and we gave away four prizes from Puppy Picnic Co., Pet Power Studio, Dogs of San Diego, and Swell Gelato to our top four categories.
