Including Your Dog in a Wedding

A dog can appear in engagement photographs, a comfortable family portrait, or a wedding detail such as a cake topper. Choose an idea that fits the dog’s temperament and needs.

If the dog attends, arrange a responsible caregiver, water, rest, bathroom opportunities, and a way to leave if the event becomes stressful. Do not attach loose rings or small valuables where they could be swallowed.

Ask the venue about pet arrangements. A qualifying service dog has different public-access rights from a pet.
