The Square will also be welcoming Chelsea Canines behaviourist Dr Nicky Shaw with her top tips on dog-handling and Napo Pet Care with their scent-work trike, giving away complimentary scent work games for owners and their dogs, whist King’s Dog Daycare will be there offering complimentary photographs of your pooch and delicious puppuccinos. Plus, don’t miss the giant sausage dog bench for that perfect picture memento of the day.
This year’s charity partner, Pets As Therapy will also be popping up at Duke of York Square. The expert team will be on hand to discuss their work and encouraging you to enter a fantastic raffle with wonderful prizes from local businesses, and with 100% of proceeds going towards their effort. Read on to find out what you could win!
And that’s not all, elsewhere over 75 of your favourite shops, restaurants and hotels from across the neighbourhood will be participating with ‘pawsome’ in store celebrations including dog-friendly ice cream, pawtrait artists, floral dog collars and much more.
