Welcome to Poochapalooza, Snohomish County's largest dog event - It's like a county fair for dogs! We hope to see you and your dogs at the 7th Annual outdoor dog event in Marysville showcasing pooches at their best and brightest. Poochapalooza is hosted by the Marysville Dog Owners Group (M-DOG), with key support from numerous event sponsors, dozens of pet vendors, demonstrators and hard-working Poochapalooza volunteers. We are thrilled to deliver an event that keeps tails wagging, with contests, the fashions and rescues runway show, exhibitions, flyball, Running of the Wieners wiener dog races (new!), dozens of vendors, food, music and much more! Keep checking back on this website as we update regularly. There is plenty to see and do!

To all the fantastic sponsors, vendors, volunteers and visitors who attended last year's Poochapalooza - both two-legged and four-legged - thank you for making M-DOG's Poochapalooza a rousing success! We are currently seeking sponsors, vendors and exhibitions for 2013's event. All proceeds raised support Strawberry Fields for Rover Off-Leash Park needs and M-DOG's community activities.

Does your dog love to scarf down pie? Do they have an awesome talent?

Enter them in our contests so they can join our pantheon of blue-ribbon Poochapalooza pet contest winners (view Best in Show Pet Contest Winners).
