On Saturday, May 9, 2026, Impressions of Saratoga is going to the dogs as part of National Pet Week, 2026! Our 22nd Annual Dog Day Celebration will be held from 11am to 2pm in front of the store. Located at the corner of Broadway and Phila St., Impressions of Saratoga is celebrating their 48th year in business and has always welcomed dogs with their humans. Each dog is greeted with fresh water, treats and love. If it is their first visit, their photo is taken for the “Doggie Wall of Fame” which began in 2001. Most days you will find at least one of the five Impressions Pups: Cookie, Smitty, Pupa, Byrdie, and Thatcher – hard at work in the office.
H.O.P.E. (Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist), a local pet rescue organization will be here with information about their programs and animals looking for forever homes. Donations of pet items such as food, treats, collars, leashes, blankets, and toys will be gladly accepted.
Acclaimed local photographer, Tracey Buyce will be on site to take professional candid photos of your furry friend for a $20 fee that will be donated to H.O.P.E.! Last year Tracey had a waitlist because her photos were such a big hit!
Wellspring will be in attendance educating us all on their “Safe Pet Partnership” a program to find foster homes for pets of those in an abusive situation who are afraid to leave for fear of what will happen to their pets.
The Annual, “The Battle of the Biscuits” contest will be happening again! Your dog can participate in a treat taste testing activity to see which snack is the crowd favorite! Dean’s Delicious Dog Treats, Give Pet and Treat Planet will be in sampled as well as a few other yummy treats! Let your dog taste the best of the best!
