SUMMER MARKET POLICY | May - Oct

We love dogs, and we know you love yours, too. Please keep in mind, though, that other people might not, and they may have had a traumatizing experience with a dog. Be considerate of all customers by following our guidelines above and using common sense.  As issue arise, we will be reviewing our guidelines and procedures on a regular basis.

If you choose to bring your canine friend to the market, we ask that you follow these policies to ensure that everyone is safe:

  • Dogs must be kept on a short, non-extendable leash

  • Keep your dog in your control and at your side

  • Maintain social distancing

  • Keep dogs away from produce, plants, food and other people

  • Clean up after your dog

  • Aggressive, untrained dogs should not be brought to the market

  • Think hard and long about bringing your dog to the Market on hot summer days - for their comfort and safety

  • If your dog expresses aggressive, loud, or uncontrollable behavior, or if you do not pick-up after your dog, Market Management may ask you to remove your dog from Market due to health and safety risks

Be Mindful of Hot Pavement

The temperature of asphalt pavement can get significantly hotter than the air temperature.

If you press the palm of your bare hand to the pavement and it’s too hot to hold it there for 7 seconds, then it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.

Please keep your dog safe on high temperature days.
