Dogwood Hollow hosts its annual Puppy Bowl Daycare Party for the four-legged fans. No dog will have to sit on the sidelines for this event. Michael and Karin Vilanova invite pups to Dogwood Hollow for this special doggy daycare party. Everyone will get time on the field, special football-shaped treats and pup cups. The site will also have a football-themed backdrop with props to make for great photo ops. Dog owners can book their dogs to stay the night for a slumber party, so they can enjoy the Super Bowl activities without having to rush home to take care of their pets’ needs. Dogs at Dogwood Hollow are grouped by size and socialization level and placed in a secure play area. They each get their own private room where they can relax in between play sessions. Dogs must be evaluated before becoming daycare playgroup pups. For more on Dogwood Hollow, visit mydogwoodhollow.com or call 615-6243914. Dogwood Hollow is located at 9304 Independent Hill Rd., Arrington.
