Tails and Trails for a Doggone Good Cause

For one day each year, Paws Up Montana becomes an expansive dog park, lodge and spa all-in-one. August 24, join us as we welcome two-legged and four-legged competitors to the annual Canine Classic. Choose between a two-mile walk, a five-mile run or even a half-marathon through the scenic trails of Paws Up. This year, all proceeds will benefit Working Dogs for Conservation, whose mission is to “train the world’s best conservation detection dogs and put them to work protecting wildlife and wild places.”

The Honest Kitchen has been a friend and partner of Paws Up and the Canine Classic since 2017 and is proud to sponsor the event again this year. The Honest Kitchen was founded by Lucy Postins in 2002 and is a producer of healthy, wholesome, human grade foods and treats for dogs (and cats!). The company’s line of gourmet products are carefully made with real whole food ingredients, to provide top notch nutrition and the fuel your pup needs for every activity, whether it’s a stroll by the river, hanging out on your lap, counter surfing the kitchen, or running the stunning trails at Paws Up Montana!

Wine and Bitch

Go ahead and let your tongue hang out. Our Wine & Bitch Dinner plates up fine gourmet cuisine as a kickoff to our fur-loving weekend. Dog lovers and their favorite pets won’t want to miss this exciting annual event at Paws Up. Hosted by our very own, dog-loving Nadine Lipson.

Paws Up’s culinary team will prepare a custom meal, complete with wine pairings and decadent desserts, as well as tail-wag-worthy gourmet dog treats. While you enjoy dinner, your dog will romp during supervised play time with others in our expansive indoor arena.
