Farmers markets are generally considered to be pet-friendly; if you go, you’ll often find someone walking their dog through, letting them sniff around and even buying them a treat if you see one. However, farmers markets are a decidedly human experience, and they sell a lot of human-focused products.
That is, until recently: NUTRO, a pet brand, has launched a new farmers market specifically for dogs! On Saturday, September 14th from 10am-6pm, pet parents will be able to stop by The Grove in LA for this first-of-its-kind experience hosted by NUTRO. To make this all come together, NUTRO partnered with Ian Somerhalder and his White Shepherd, Sequoia, who will both be in attendance!
There are lots of things that set this farmers market apart from your run-of-the-mill human farmers market, but the best ones are:
- An entrance designed to engage your pup’s sense of smell using dog-friendly herbs and produce.
- Tables at snout-level for optimal sniffing and choosing. You don’t have to do all the work!
- Free samples of NUTRO products and fresh-grown, pet-safe produce.
- A Paw-strologist station, where your dog can have their paw read by a Moon Paws professional.
- A chance for dogs to play in the dirt while their parents learn about healthy soil.
- Designated relaxation lounges for pups to take a quick nap, drink some water, and snuggle with the friends they’ve made along the way.
