20th annual Purina Pooches in the Ballpark game returns on April 12

ST. LOUIS, Mo., February 25, 2025 – It’s time again for St. Louis canines to “bark” on the Cardinals at Busch Stadium when the team takes on the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday, April 12, as part of the 20th annual Purina^? Pooches in the Ballpark game.

A limited number of all-inclusive tickets are on sale now and will not last long. Tickets for the only game all season where dogs can join their owners inside Busch Stadium are valid for one person and one dog, and include an exclusive pet goodie bag filled with samples, coupons and swag from Purina and Schnucks, as well as access to an all-you-can-eat buffet with complimentary beer, soda, and water.

All four-legged ticket-holders and owners will also have the opportunity to take part in a pregame parade around the Busch Stadium warning track. Additionally, 20,000 fans, ages 16 and older, will take home a Cardinals pet toy for their four-legged friends, courtesy of Purina.

“We’re excited to partner with the Cardinals once again to bring this beloved tradition back to the two- and four-legged baseball fans in St. Louis,” said Kim Beardslee, Director of Community Affairs at Purina. “Purina Pooches in the Ballpark is a unique opportunity to connect our passion for pets with our love for the home team. As the event sells out each year, it’s clear that sports fans agree that people and pets are better together.”
