DOG Relief Area


Once again, NAGDU will be overseeing the maintenance of the dog relief area during this year’s convention. We have hired No Doody Pet Waste Removal,  <https://www.nodoody.com/> https://www.nodoody.com, to maintain the relief areas at the Marriott and the Sheridan hotels. The service will begin on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, and will conclude on the morning of Monday, July 14, 2025. The dog relief areas at each hotel will be cleaned twice each day. Please, all guide dog users, “Do Your Part,” and pick up after your dogs. We realize that sometimes we are caught empty-handed when something unexpected needs to be picked up. To help with this, there will be pick-up bags available for anyone who needs them.

 


Donations for Dog Relief area


NAGDU is collecting donations to assist with this year’s dog relief area. We would like to thank the California Association of Guide Dog Users for their generous donation. If you would like to make a donation, please send your donation to  <mailto:treasurer at nagdu.org> treasurer at nagdu.org using Zelle, Cash App, or PayPal.

 


NAGDU Goodie Bags


There have been several requests for the ever-popular NAGDU goodie bags. You asked, and we listened. Once again, we will have available for purchase NAGDU goodie bags. Each bag will contain a roll of lavender scented pick up bags, travel hand sanitizer, a tasty dental treat for your guide dog, and a NAGDU fanny pack, (while supplies last). Each bag costs $10.
