Are dogs permitted at Padres games?

Dogs are not generally permitted at San Diego Padres games. The ballpark, which is Petco Park, has a policy in place that restricts animals for various safety and health reasons. However, the Padres do host specific events known as "Bark at the Park," where fans are encouraged to bring their dogs to the game on designated days. These events allow fans to enjoy a game with their furry friends while raising awareness for animal welfare. Opened in 2004, Petco Park is a family-friendly venue that often hosts special promotions and themed nights, so it may be helpful for fans to check the official website or current web page for any upcoming events, including Bark at the Park, and other specific policies regarding pets in the ballpark.
