Healthy Pets, Happy People to Gather at Woofstock in Edmonds

Annual pet celebration adds Silent Auction and pet food bank to benefit PAWS, features local pet vendors

SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 17, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Pet owners can attend Woofstock 2011 next month, where Santa photos and a Silent Auction fund raiser for PAWS will be among the attractions. Smiley Dog, the local pet food delivery service, announced the event which will also feature a pet food bank, local pet vendors, free nail trims, pet massages, and healthy pet foods.

Woofstock will be held on Saturday, December 3, from 12 – 4 p.m. at the Smiley Dog warehouse located at 23303 Highway 99 in Edmonds. Woofstock is an annual celebration bringing Seattle area pets and their people together with industry experts to learn about pet nutrition, sample new products, support local vendors, grab some groovy deals and pay no sales tax. Admission is free.

“We keep hearing from our clients that Woofstock is the one event that they look forward to each year,” said Craig Weindling, Alpha Woof at Smiley Dog. “It’s the one day each year that we invite folks to come to us instead of showing up at their door. We’re thrilled to support our local vendors and help PAWS with the wonderful work they do in the community.”

Local vendors featured this year include Himalayan Dog Chews, Aussie Pet Mobile, Hands to Paws Massage, Litter Spinner, Magic Photo, New Roots Organics, Northwest Naturals and The Whole Pup. All products collected in the event’s pet food bank will be donated to PAWS. The event is co-sponsored by Canidae and Precise pet foods.

The Silent Auction features items from local artists and businesses. Packages include a Seattle Mariners autographed baseball, box seats, and game bats. Attendance for two at the 2012 Seattle International Film Festival Opening Night Gala is also up for bid.

More information about the event is available at www.SmileyDog.com or by calling (206) 903-9631.

Woofstock 2011 is produced by Smiley Dog, which provides free delivery of healthy pet foods. The locally owned company began operations in 1992 to offer busy pet owners a dependably convenient way to feed healthy foods.
