This year, the bark side took over The Dog Stay as local pups arrived dressed for battle, belly rubs, and Jedi-level zoomies during the business’s “May the 4th Pawty.”
From fluffy little wookies to paw-dawans in training, the daycare was transformed into a galaxy far, far away where the treats flowed, tails wagged at lightspeed, and the force was definitely unleashed.
Training missions were in full swing as pups practiced their best sit, stay, and social skills under the watchful eyes of their human handlers. Some dogs embraced the ways of the Jedi, while others fully committed to the chaos of the Sith, especially around snack time!
The celebration also featured a themed photo shoot where the pack assembled for portraits worthy of the Rebel Alliance. Capes, costumes, and canine charisma were on full display as each pup brought their own personality to the galaxy.
But beyond the pawty, events like these highlight what makes The Dog Stay such a favorite among local pet parents.
More than just a daycare or boarding facility, The Dog Stay builds a community-centered space where dogs can play, learn, socialize, and feel at home while their owners are away. Whether it’s daycare, boarding, grooming, or training support, the team continues creating experiences that keep both pets and owners coming back.
For Silver Spring-area dog owners looking for trusted local pet care, this is one business where every dog gets treated like the chosen one.
