Occoquan Shops to Treat Dogs this Halloween

Elaine Carmack and her dog, Sassi, greet customers at Fetch Dog and Cat Bakery Boutique.

OCCOQUAN, Va. — Some dogs will finally get their treats this Halloween.

The Fetch Dog and Cat Bakery Boutique in Occoquan, which specializes in animal treats, will host its 15th Annual Trick or Treat for Dogs from 1 to 3 p.m. Oct. 28.

About 35 owners have signed up their furry friends and will take them on a leash, of course, to at least 40 businesses in Occoquan who will give the dogs treats. Fetch has provided all of the gourmet dog treats to the participating businesses ahead of time, and organizers say it’s a great way to get people out and about in the small town at Halloween.

“The owners take them to the stores and then they say ‘trick or treat,’ or if they have an exceptionally talented dog the animal can say ‘trick or treat,’ but I’ve not ever met one like that before,” joked Fetch manager Elaine Carmack.

This is the second year Trick or Treat for Dogs has been held in Occoquan. Fetch held similar events in prior years when the store was located in Old Town Alexandria.

To participate, a donation of $10 is requested from dog owners by Oct. 15. The money will go to an effort to build Prince William County’s first dog park, said Carmack.

Those interested in signing up their dog should call the store at 703-491-8686 or visiting the shop at 305 Mill Street in Occoquan.
