Day of the Dead with your pet

  • October 27: by tradition, the day pets arrive at the ofrenda. Ideas and safety tips in our pet ofrenda guide.
  • October 27 to November 1: Campo de Xolos, the first xoloitzcuintle dog festival, in the Centro Histórico, with the Caminata al Mictlán on Sunday the 1st. Details above, in the events.
  • Parades and giant ofrendas: big crowds, noise and heat. Enjoy them without your dog; if you bring it, make it an event designed for pets.
  • Fireworks and loud music: leave your pet at home in a quiet room, with its tag on and doors and windows closed.
  • Candles and marigolds from the ofrenda: out of its reach.

Before you take your dog to an event

  • Make sure its vaccines are up to date: at events it meets many dogs.
  • Short leash, a tag with your phone number and poop bags.
  • Water and a bowl: runs and markets get a lot of sun.
  • A comfortable costume: nothing covering its eyes, ears or snout, and room to move. Ideas in our costume guide.
  • If crowds stress your dog, stay home: not every dog enjoys events.
