SAFETY / STAFF POLICIES

Safety

1. We have first aid kits on site.

2. Our Open Mosh Area is fully covered with protective mats. Still, we recommend that pets who play on all fours wear protective gear (padded mitts/gloves, knee pads) to prevent injury.

3. Make your Handler and/or the mosh staff aware of any medical conditions, injuries, or health concerns that could affect your play. If you take medication, have an inhaler, an EpiPen, or anything else, give it to your Handler or a member of the mosh staff so someone has it for you if it is needed.

4. If you or your Handler notice you are bleeding or injured, please stop moshing and seek first aid. If you need further care, notify a Critter Guard.

Staff

1. Our Critter Guards (with a leather Critter Guard sash) are our safety monitors. Please bring them any safety concerns and be respectful if they tell you something.

2. Our Staff are marked by glowing red wristbands. You may also approach any of them with questions or concerns.

3. Our Emotional Support Animals (staff dedicated to helping newcomers/nervous pet players feel comfortable and meet people) are marked by glowing blue wristbands / ESA bandanas. Go to them if you're feeling nervous!

14. No means "No." Obtain continuous consent before engaging in play, and do not touch anyone or their things without consent.

Mosh Areas

1. Do not wear shoes on our mats, blankets, or bedding!

2. Maintain awareness of those around you during play. Do not throw balls or toys at people who have not consented; avoid sending balls flying at speed while in the ball pit if the mosh is crowded; and avoid running into others when at all possible.

3. Ensure consent via verbal or non-verbal communication before engaging in play or physical contact with those in the mosh. Our Consent Wristband System should also be observed to help with this.

4. Play-wrestling involves higher physical contact and risk of masks falling off than other activities. Participate at your risk level, and with awareness of those around you.

5. Event-provided toys may not be put in mouths for any reason.

6. The Open Mosh Area is for pet play ONLY. Other kink activities are permitted in the forest room and other rooms.

7. Play that includes sexual contact is allowed ONLY in the rooms with the "hump zone" signs.

   
   

Quiet Room/Chill Zone

1. This is a low energy, low stimulus space. No play is allowed.

2. Please be mindful of those who may be here for aftercare or to recover from overstimulation.

3. Please keep noise down in this room, such as shouting, loud talking, or loud animal sounds.

   
   

Adoption Day (Special Event)
