There will be lots for both pets and humans to do including pet contests – best trick, doggie/owner look-a-like contest, Mr. and Miss, hairiest dog and more. Dogs can enjoy the agility courses and splash pools or get their photos taken.

Kids can play in the children’s area with inflatable bounce houses and other activities.

Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel, Twig and Chili the Skateboarding Shelties and The Dock Dogs will be on hand to perform their special skills. 

There will also be opportunities to adopt pets onsite through local rescue groups.
