Howloween

We received so many requests to bring this event back that we just had to do it! If you love to show how "fashion-forward" your pup can be while supporting a wonderful local animal welfare nonprofit, Max's Helping Paws, this is the event to attend!

So now, after a two year hiatus, the event you've been waiting for is back! This is the place to show off your pup's Halloween or Poodle Day Costume. Max's, Carmel Plaza and Diggidy Dog/Love Dog & Co are joining forces to bring you HOWLOWEEN 2022! Enter the Runway judging and get one of several WONDERFUL prizes, or just enjoy observing all the incredible costumes while you get a beautiful Halloween photo for your pup, by none other than local photographer Liz Stavrinides, critically-acclaimed photographer and author of Miracle Dogs and Extraordinary Dogs (and resident photographer at Diggidy Dog).

When you check in, you will choose your desired category to enter! Winner in each category will be entered into Diggidy Dog’s Best of HowlOWeen Grand Prize, winner chosen by the audience!
