PetSmart® and Arizona Diamondbacks Team Up to Set GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Title for Most Dogs Attending a Sporting Event

1,000-Plus Dogs Expected at Chase Field for D-backs vs. Rockies Game
This Sunday

–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PetSmart


WHAT:

  PetSmart, the Arizona Diamondbacks, Nylabone® and AvoDerm® Natural
Pet Foods have teamed up with D-backs fans to set a GUINNESS WORLD
RECORDS title for the most dogs attending a sporting event — 1,000
dogs needed to set world record.
 
The attempt will be officiated by a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS
adjudicator and takes place Sun., May 1, when the D-backs host the
Colorado Rockies. This Sunday is also the national kick-off of Bark
at the Park, a traveling 12 game dog-friendly program where
dog-loving fans can bring their best friends to a baseball game at
stadiums across America. Bark at the Park is sponsored by PetSmart,
Nylabone® and AvoDerm® Natural Pet Foods and typically brings out
300-900 dogs.
 
The group’s aim is to host 1,000 dogs at Chase Field on May 1.
According to the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS organization, this is the
first official attempt for this record. The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS
adjudicator will account for the dogs entering Chase Field and is
expected to call the record by the end of the second inning.
