On Sunday, September 27 the Royals will host the first Bark at the K starting at 11:30am. This is an opportunity for Royals fans and dog lovers to attend a Royals game with their pet while supporting three local charities.

Each package purchased includes two (2) tickets (one human ticket and one canine ticket), a Royals Dog Bowl, and donation to the Greater Kansas City Humane Society, Half Way Home Pet Adoptions and Wayside Waifs. All three charities will offer adoptions during the event. Additional human tickets may also be purchased for this event at a discounted price. (Please Note: Each dog must be accompanied by an 'owner'.)

Seats will be located in Field Box Sections 107-109 and Field Plaza Sections 206-209. A dog park will be set up outside of Gate A and a 'clean-up' crew will be on hand to help with pick up after your pets. A limited number of packages are available so purchase your tickets today.

See if your dog is right for the BARK AT THE K Event?
Yes! If your dog:
Is old enough to be around other dogs and people (at least 6 months of age)
Is up to date on all required vaccinations
Is in relatively good health and can walk up and down several flights of stairs
Does well on-leash and is not overly aggressive toward other dogs
Is friendly toward humans and not excessively fearful
Is a Royals fan!

Probably Not, if your dog:
Is still too young to mix with a big crowd (under 6 months);
Is a senior dog that would have trouble navigating stairs and being outside for an extended period of time;
Has aggressive tendencies towards other dogs or humans while on-leash (or off);
Is a Twins fan! (Just kidding, all are welcome!)
Is exhibiting any signs of illness close to the day of the game (ie, cough, nasal discharge, lethargy, diarrhea, etc). These symptoms can be signs of potentially infectious illnesses and it would probably be best for your dog as well as the other dogs in attendance, if they did not attend.

Older dogs, dogs with short muzzles and/or dogs in general that are quickly prone to heat exhaustion should consider not attending this event or possibly plan on not staying for the entire game. Even though there will be cool waterand shady spots on hand, the direct sun and heat can be a deadly combination for dogs. Dogs cool themselves down by panting and are not nearly as efficient as us humans. Please keep the comfort and safety of your dog in the fore front of your mind when planning out this fun day at the park.

NOTE: You must sign a waiver stating that your dog's vaccinations from a licensed veterinarian are current. This waiver holds you (the owner) liable in the event of an incident. We recommend you contact your veterinarian regarding other vaccinations that may suit your dog's needs. The Royals reserve the right to deny any dog or human entrance to Kauffman Stadium and the Bark at the K event for any reason they may see fit.

Required Vaccinations:
Rabies - given annually, but sometimes can be a 3 year.
DHLP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Para influenza) - all given annually, sometimes referred to as the Combo Vaccination, especially when it includes Parvo.
Parvo - given annually, many times this is included in the DHLP and indicated as DHLPP.
