If you’ve got a new puppy, this might be the cutest night of your fall. On Wednesday, October 28, from 7 to 8pm, we’re turning our regular Puppy Hour into a Halloween party, and your pup is invited!
What to Expect
Puppy Hour is a free, supervised playtime for puppies 8 to 24 weeks old. For the Halloween party, bring your puppy in their cutest costume for photos and puppy-friendly trick-or-treating, then let them romp around with other puppies their age. It’s free, it’s adorable, and you don’t need to be a Central Bark client to come.
Why Puppies This Age?
Between 8 and 24 weeks of age is the window when early socialization matters most. Meeting new dogs and humans in a calm, supervised setting helps puppies grow into confident, comfortable adult dogs. Puppy Hour gives puppy owners in the Naperville and Aurora area an easy, low-pressure way to start. It’s also a great opportunity for you to meet other puppy owners in the area, too!
Costume Tips for a Safe, Happy Pup
Costumes are totally optional, and a puppy in their regular fur is just as welcome. If you do dress your pup up, please keep safety in mind:
- Skip anything with chewable parts.
- Avoid pieces that drag on the ground.
- After we take photos, you can take the costume off your pup for safer playtime.
What You Need to Know Before You Come
Puppies must be 8 to 24 weeks old. Preregistration is required, along with proof of Bordetella and DHPP vaccines. We’re located conveniently at 4389 Fox Valley Center Drive in Aurora, just outside the Fox Valley Mall.
