IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY SINCE WE ARE CHANGING THE PROCESS FOR NAME TAGS:

1) After you register, please look for your automatic receipts/confirmation emails and other emails from us in your Spam folders, and if using Gmail, also the Social and Promotions folders/categories (if applicable). If you haven’t yet, add our Poodle Day email address, poodledaycarmel@gmail.com, to your contacts/address book. Our emails should not be flagged as spam. If it is in spam, click the button that says ‘not spam’; the next time an email is sent, it should go into your inbox.

2) Your registration confirmation will always go to the email address entered in the registration form. If you register with one email address but use a different email address in the PayPal payment process or have somebody else pay for you, please check the email you registered with for confirmation. Also, see #1 above. If any of these scenarios apply to you, it is best to check BOTH email addresses.

This applies regardless of whether you pay by card or login into your PayPal account to pay.
To avoid confusion, we recommend using the same email address for registration as in your PayPal account or the one you enter in the payment screen when paying by card.

3) THIS IS IMPORTANT: YOUR NAME TAG FOR THE PARADE WILL BE EMAILED BETWEEN SEPT. 28th & 30TH. PLEASE PRINT IT AND HAVE IT READY FOR THE PARADE. LANYARDS WILL BE ON SITE FOR YOUR NAME TAG. PRINT ONE NAME TAG FOR EACH PERSON IN YOUR PARTY.

We look forward to seeing you at Poodle Day!
