Pet Guidelines at prfm
The Peachtree Road Farmers Market (PRFM) welcomes well behaved dogs when the weather is not too hot. The following guidelines have been developed to encourage visiting pet owners to take the appropriate steps in making sure your pets, as well as other pets and people, stay happy and healthy but most importantly, safe, during your farmers market visit.
These guidelines will be enforced at the sole discretion of the PRFM Staff:
Pets must always be on leash. 4-6ft leashes are preferred.
Retractable leashes are not permitted on property as they can break easily and may pose a tripping/fall hazard.
Any pet demonstrating aggressive behavior will be asked to leave immediately.
Dogs that excessively bark or growl will be asked to leave the market grounds.
Any pet exhibiting outward signs of illness (runny nose, coughing, etc.) will be asked to leave immediately.
Pee on it, pay for it. If your pet urinates on a vendor’s product or display, it is your responsibility to pay for that merchandise and/or damage and clean it up, no questions asked.
Help us keep our property clean and safe. We ask that owners clean up after their pet and properly dispose of waste. Free disposal bags are available at the information tent. We also have clean-up supplies for your use. Ask staff at the information booth for the kit so you can clean up your pet’s mess.
It is your responsibility to be sure that your pet is properly socialized before coming to the market. The market is a crowded space with small children, moving cars, music, and food at your pets’ level. This is not a training ground.
Owners should be considerate of vendors and other guests – not everyone enjoys dogs.
The market has limited shade and grass for a pet to escape hot concrete and asphalt. Please be cognizant of the temperature when bringing your pet to the market as the surfaces they walk on can reach uncomfortable and potentially unsafe temperatures for your pet.
A communal water bowl is available at the information tent entrance and a couple of vendor booths. However to ensure water is available for your pet, bring your own water and portable water bowl.
The Peachtree Road Farmers Market reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to ask any owner to leave the property for disregarding these guidelines or acting in a manner that could be deemed unsafe to a pet’s welfare or negatively affecting the guest experience.
