Dogs will take a bow wow at Pet Spot's grand opening

The Pet Spot celebrates its grand opening at Ward Warehouse from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday with a Doggie Decadence fashion show, dress-up contests, prize giveaways.

In addition to the fashion show there will be judging -- by audience applause -- for the cutest dog outfit and doggie daddy and mommy lookalike contests at the amphitheater stage, to be followed by a 1:30 p.m. "Is Your Dog a Pig?" eating contest with three weight divisions. Registration for all the contests will start at 11 a.m. at The Pet Spot. Winners of each of the five contests will receive a one-year supply of dog food from The Pet Spot (up to a $600 value).

At 4:30 p.m. there will be a drawing for an Los Angeles trip to see Bow Wow, Ludacris and Lloyd in concert.

The Pet Spot will be giving away more than $20,000 in prizes beginning at 11:15 a.m. through 4:45 p.m., including a pure-bred puppy of the winner's choice.

Want to play? Don't miss the Fashion Show "Doggie Decadence" at 12 p.m. on stage. Owners can compete in two fashion contests: "Cutest outfit" and the "Doggie-Daddy (or Mommy!) Look-alike contest" judged by audience applause.
