ZB 10 Year Anniversary
It’s hard to believe, but ZilkerBark has been celebrating dogs and their people for a whole decade! In that time, we’ve photographed over 40,000 pups, raised more than $400,000 for local charities, and had the joy of watching so many of your dogs (and families) grow through the years.
This milestone deserves a party, and we’re pulling out all the stops. You can expect our most elaborate holiday portrait set ever, food trucks, vendors, and special activations & surprises! Come celebrate your pup with us!!
