We offer
Fun
That's what it's all about. We want everyone who visits the event to have fun. Come on in and join us for a nice conversation or just to watch and play!
Foam tiles
The play area for the pups and handlers has foam floor tiles, so you can play without additional protection for your hands and knees. Be careful when walking there, because you can easily step on a paw or trip over a pup.
Toys
We love our toys, especially the squeaky ones! We will provide several toys for the pups to play with.
Drinks and snacks
Drinks are priced friendly and we have straws for hooded pups. You can also buy some snacks at the bar. At the bar you can relax, chat, lie down and bark with other pups. Opposite the bar there are some couches.
Treats
Ofcourse we will provide some treats for the pups. From healthy to yummy!
Relax
For most pups relaxation is an important part of their visit to VSSM Bark & Play. Rest when you feel you need to.
We ask
Entrance fee of € 15 per person/pup
It's not that we don't love you, but we do need to pay the rent and some expenses. Members of VSSM get free entrance to VSSM Bark & Play. We will wag so hard if you use our option to pay upfront. Of course you can also pay in cash at the door, exact change appreciated.
Pictures
Take care when taking pictures. Avoid taking pictures with other people in the background. If this happens by accident, please anonymise them when publishing the picture.
Protect your hands and knees
Our foam tiles have got you covered, but in the long run your knees will suffer quite a bit when pupping out on all fours. Please take care of your paws!
Drink sensible
At the bar you can also buy alcoholic beverages. Please know your limits.
No means
Treat each other with respect please.
Be social
VSSM Bark & Play is a social event. This means sexual activities and BDSM (other than puppy play) are not allowed. Staff decisions are final.
