Other important notes:

1) After you register, please look for your automatic receipts/confirmation emails and other emails from us in your Spam folders, and if using Gmail, also the Social and Promotions folders/categories (if applicable). If you haven’t yet, add our Poodle Day email address, events@poodleday.com or poodledaycarmel@gmail.com, to your contacts/address book. Our emails should not be flagged as spam. If it is in spam, click the button that says ‘not spam’; then next time an email is sent, it should go into your Inbox.

2) Your registration confirmation will always go to the email address entered on the registration form. If you register with one email address but use a different email address in the PayPal payment process or have somebody else pay for you, please check the email you registered with for confirmation. Also, see #1 above. If any of these scenarios apply to you, it is best to check BOTH email addresses.

This applies regardless of whether you pay by card or login into your PayPal account to pay.
To avoid confusion, we recommend using the same email address for registration as in your PayPal account or the one you enter in the payment screen when paying by card.

We look forward to seeing you at Poodle Day!
