Present a valid Pups At The Pitch Match ticket for each dog in attendance.

Be accompanied at all times by at least one ticket-holding owner over the age of 18;
Be listed on a Pups At The Pitch Registration Form;
Wear identification tags showing current rabies vaccination;
Wear a properly fitted collar and/or harness that prevents the dog from escaping (cannot include flexi-leads or any leash longer than 6 feet or any pinch/choke collars); and
Be at least six months old, fully house-trained, and up to date on all required vaccinations administered by a licensed professional (including but not limited to Rabies, DAPPv and Bordetella).

II. Matchday Guidelines

It is the dog owner's sole responsibility to care for and be in control of their dog while at the Pups At The Pitch Match. Dogs that have aggressive tendencies towards other dogs or humans, are unpredictable in crowds, react strongly to loud noises or children, or are exhibiting any signs of infectious illness close to the day of the match are not allowed to attend the Pups At The Pitch Match.
Each Pups At The Pitch (human) ticket will entitle the ticket holder and one dog (with a valid Pups At The Pitch Match (dog) ticket) to enter and sit within the designated Pups At The Pitch Seating Area (i.e., the Grass Berm at the North end of Dignity Health Sports Park). Every person sitting in the Pups At The Pitch Seating Area must hold a Pups At The Pitch Match (human) ticket.
Each Pups At The Pitch Match (human) ticket holder must check in with their Pups At The Pitch Match (dog) ticket holder at the entrance designated by the LA Galaxy at the time specified by the LA Galaxy (expected to be the Northeast Gate). Pups At The Pitch Match ticket holders will not be permitted to enter after the 15th minute of the Match. The LA Galaxy will provide entry and check-in information to each Pups At The Pitch Match ticket holder reasonably in advance of the applicable Pups At The Pitch Match. Dogs and owners will only be permitted into the Pups At The Pitch Seating Area at Dignity Health Sports Park upon completion of this check in process. The LA Galaxy will provide instructions for entering the Pups At The Pitch Seating Area prior to the start of the Pups At The Pitch Match.
Dogs must remain inside the Pups At The Pitch Seating Area at all times other than when entering and exiting Dignity Health Sports Park and during halftime (as described below). Dogs may not be taken to other parts of Dignity Health Sports Park, even if accompanied by their owner.
Dogs and owners will be permitted to exit the Grass Berm to the Support Tailgate Section (just behind the Grass Berm) for the duration of the entire halftime game break. The LA Galaxy will provide clear guidelines for entering and exiting the Grass Berm to the Supporter Tailgate Section during the Pups At The Pitch Match.
Dogs must remain on a leash and under the control and supervision of an adult at all times, including when seated. Retractable leashes and leashes longer than six feet are not permitted.
Each dog’s owner is solely responsible for cleaning up after their dog. LA Galaxy will provide a designated dog relief area and clean-up bags for owners.
LA Galaxy will provide dogs with access to drinking water in the Pups At The Pitch Seating Area. Dogs may not drink from any other water source at Dignity Health Sports Park (e.g., water fountains).

III. Ticket Policies

Pups At The Pitch Match tickets (both human and dog) are not refundable or re-sellable. Tickets may be transferred to other fans, but any new dog attending must be registered by their owner prior to the match.
LA Galaxy reserves the right to refuse entry to or remove any owner and dog at any time for any reason, including a dog’s behavioral difficulties or health concerns, failure to follow any established facility policies or these Pups At The Pitch rules and regulations, attempting to bring an unregistered dog, failure to remain in the Pups At The Pitch Seating Area, or disruption of the match.
