DogGone Natural's Barktober Celebration

DogGone Natural celebrates 4 years! Come join us for a day of fun with your furry friends and family.

The festivities will begin Sunday October 9th at 11am. Rain or shine we will be under the tents again with local rescue groups bringing several dogs and puppies for adoption. Meet representatives of our favorite products and local pet services. Drawings will be held with prizes from the store such as Redskins Jerseys & Bandanas for dogs, micro-suede beds, foods and treats pets love. Check here periodically for updates about our anniversary, including prizes, participating vendors and more!

Meet Washington Redskins Starting Kicker Graham Gano, Former Redskins Gary Clark & Tony McGee, the World Famous Hogettes, "Fetch" from the Loudoun Hounds and other Surprise Redskin Guests throughout the day. Derrick Pearson from “Tony McGee’s Pro Football Plus” will be interviewing players, hanging out with fans and signing autographs with the rest of the past and present Redskins.

There will be over $3,000 worth of prizes, raffles and giveaways.
