Bring no more than three licensed, vaccinated dogs. Puppies under four months, dogs in heat, unneutered males and spiked or pinch collars are not allowed. Small-dog sections are for dogs under 25 lbs and older or frail dogs. No food, smoking or alcohol, and children under 12 need an adult. (City of Oakland)
