Saltdean Lido Dog Swim 2019

*** Looking for Saltdean Lido Dog Swim 2020 tickets, then here’s the link to this year’s event ***

One of our favourite doggy events from last year, the Saltdean Lido Dog Swim is back for its third year and for 2019 there will be two weekends where dogs can take over Saltdean Lido, not just one! The Saltdean Lido Dog Swim will take place on the 14/15 September AND the 21/22 September 2019 which is pawsome news as this means more dogs can have a swim or they can go twice!

If you haven’t been yet make sure you get your paws on tickets [BOOK TICKETS HERE] and in the meantime read our review of last weekend’s dog swim with all the essential info you need to know on what’s in store (a fabulous time) and other useful info such as how to get there from London.

At Saltdean Lido, there are two pools to choose from for dogs to enjoy their swim – the large main pool which is great for confident doggos or the paddling pool which is great for pups finding their paws in water.

Humans can also go along of course, either as spectators if you don’t plan to actually swim with your dog but to stand on the side or you can get human swimming tickets too if you plan to join your dog in the water. 

Saltdean Lido Dog Swim 2019 Tickets

Here’s how it works: There are five 90 minute sessions on each Saturday and four 90 minute sessions each Sunday.

Session times are:

Saturdays: 9am-10.30am; 11am-12.30pm; 1pm-2.30pm; 3pm-4.30pm and 5pm-6.30pm
Sundays: 10am-11.30am; 12pm-1.30pm; 2pm-3.30pm and 4pm-5.30pm

For the dog swim ticket, your Best Friend (BF) has access to both the main pool and for those less adventurous, the paddling pool (with slide).

If you want to swim with your BF, you’ll need a human swim ticket, or if you prefer to stand at the poolside and throw a toy, a spectator ticket is fine.

For Health & Safety reasons, we do not allow Under-16s into the pools (This applies to Humans only!!!) Under-16s are welcome as spectators.

The lifeguards are only trained for Humans, so you are responsible for your BF. We have an absolute No Aggression policy (so if either you or your BF snarl at or attack anyone, you’ll both be asked to leave – though we’ve never had a fight yet). And of course, it goes without saying that we expect you to pick up any deposits your BF leaves.

There’s lots of grass for your BF to dash around on too, if they have any energy left, and the site is secure.

Ticket prices are very reasonable: £7.50 for swim tickets – (dogs or humans) and £3.00 for spectators (+ booking fee) with all funds raised from the Saltdean Lido Dog Swim going to support the upkeep of this beautiful Grade II listed art deco lido.

Run the Pack Walthamstow Marshes | Join Run the Pack LDN for a run through Walthamstow Marshes on 15 September where you can choose between a 5km or 10km run. Running with your dog is a fantastic way to keep fit and have fun. Also known as canicross, it’s an exciting and fast-growing sport.

We run in groups, led by a pack leader and set off in waves. Our rule is ‘no dog left behind’. It’s first and foremost about having fun – nobody is too slow! For those looking for a personal best this might not be the event for you, but you’re more than welcome (we’ll provide you with a map).

Run the Pack Walthamstow Marshes kicks off at 9 am on Sunday 15th September and the organisers will be in touch before the event to confirm the exact start point in Walthamstow Marshes.

Every pooch will receive a doggy bag packed full of healthy treats when they cross the ‘finish line’, and there’ll be prizes thanks to our incredible sponsors.

– All abilities welcome – new to canicross or regular runners
– Organised entirely by volunteers
– We hold 4 meetups a year, Sep-May (avoiding the hot summer months)

Donate what you can via Eventbrite to secure your place. All money raised will be donated to Chilterns Dog Rescue Society (CDRS). Please give generously:

CDRS is an independent rescue and rehoming shelter in Hertfordshire. The charity refuses to put dogs down, provides extensive veterinary care and training for dogs that need it and gives a second chance to hundreds of dogs every year.

A few things to think about:

– If this is the first time you’ll be running with your dog, you may want to consult your Vet.
– Dogs must be fully mature to run. Typically this is at least 12 months old for smaller dogs and 18 months for larger.
– Maximum 2 dogs per runner.
– We’ll start at 9 am. Please arrive in good time. Your dog will want a sniff.
– We recommend dogs run in a canicross harness but a regular, non-restrictive harness is also OK. No leads on collars.
– We recommend humans run with a waist belt and bungee lead for your own comfort and safety. If you don’t have either of these please let us know as we have spares for you to borrow. Email runthepackldn@gmail.com
– The event is on-lead. We can’t accept any off-lead dogs.
– Please bring water and poo bags. You are responsible for your dog’s hydration and picking up after your pooch.
– Run in appropriate trainers and comfortable clothes. Parts of the route may be a little muddy.
– You must be in control of your dog. We are inclusive (canicross can be a great outlet for dogs with anxiety or other issues), but please let us know if your dog likes a bit more space.
– We run in all weathers. Join us even if it looks like rain!

If you have any questions, please do get in touch: runthepackldn@gmail.com

Crafty Dog Festival Brighton | The dog-loving people of Brighton & Hove are in for a treat! The ‘Say Aphasia’ charity are introducing The Crafty Dog Festival on Saturday 21st September in Preston Park, Brighton.

Entry is free to all and opening times are from 10am – 4pm. You will be able to enjoy a day out with your dog and meet other dogs and owners.

You can get involved in our dog show, try an agility class, purchase local homemade dog treats and handmade dog accessories and much more!

The Crafty Dog Festival aims to raise funds and awareness for the charity, while bringing together the local community to celebrate our canine friends. Many people haven’t heard of this condition ‘aphasia’ and so the people in Brighton & Hove who live with it are left with little support – we need to change this. Say Aphasia charity supports people with the condition aphasia by providing weekly drop-in groups for these people to meet others in the same situation. The charity’s aim is to provide support and encouragement so that people with aphasia learn to adapt to their new way of life, with more ease and less frustrations. Aphasia is a communication disability which occurs when the communication centres of the brain are damaged. It is usually caused by a stroke, brain haemorrhage, head injury or a brain tumour. Aphasia makes it difficult to read, write or speak.

The event is sponsored by local photographer Lauren Christien Photography. Someone who is very passionate about the charity and also a massive fan of dogs.

What’s On at the Chiswick House Dog Show 2019: 18 Fun Classes | My Dog’s Got Talent | Celebrity Judges | Egg & Spoon Relay | Over 40 Stands | Food & Drink Stalls and more!

Chiswick House Dog Show 2019 Class Info:

Waggiest Tail
Does your dog never stop wagging its tail? Does it (the tail) go round and round in circles? Then this is the class for you!

Best Rescue
Judged (appropriately) by the Dogs Trust people, this class is looking for the best-looking, the best-behaved, the best-adjusted, the best-groomed rescue dog.

Egg & Spoon Relay Challenge
2 adults + 2 children + 1 dog = 1 team. Click here for more info.

Best Young Handler
For this the handler needs to be aged seven or older and has to show their expertise at walking their dog, their general handling and the ability to get the dog to sit.

Naughtiest Dog
This is wide open to interpretation! Can you, accompanied by the offender, tell the judges about the worst thing your dog has ever done?

Fancy Dress
For adults and/or children PLUS dog/s. This year we are celebrating 50 years since the first moon landing as our theme, so get your thinking caps on for some great fancy dress ideas!

Next Top Model
Sponsored (and judged) by PetLondon (the UK’s leading animal talent agency), this class is for DOGS OF ALL SIZES AND AGES. It’s very popular and because of this it has to be split into two: the first is for dogs under 15Kg and the second for those over 15Kg. It’s important to remember that ‘doggy’ stars are an equal mix between family favourites (spaniels, retrievers, cockapoos, bulldogs) as well as the more exotic breeds.

My Dog’s Got Talent
Can your dog jump through a hoop, turn a double-somersault, balance a biscuit on its nose? This class gives license to all those dogs with a budding talent to perform the unusual.

Best in Show
Is for the winners of each of the 16 show classes who then compete against each other for the titles of Best in Show and Reserve Best in Show.

One of London’s best rooftop bars, Savage Garden, has gone barking mad by introducing the special monthly ‘Savage Garden Rooftop Dog Brunch’ due to popular demand.

*** Updated, read our review of the Savage Garden Dog Brunch here ***

Dubbed as London’s wildest sky-high destination, Savage Garden, brings decadent décor, jaw-dropping views, dramatic cocktails and savage menus to Tower Hill. Located atop the DoubleTree by Hilton, the ethos is focused on the unexpected. Two terraces provide 360-degree views of the London skyline including The Shard, Tower of London, The Gherkin and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Guests have a wide variety of savagely good brunch dishes to choose from off the a la carte menu that is as far removed from traditional brunch items as possible. Panko chicken cutlet, bacon and radish salad, cranberry, caper, sriracha mayo and a sunny-side fried egg, as well as bourbon-glazed beef short rib, charred sourdough and poached eggs’,  are tipped to be some of the favourites.

Cocktails are abundant, with bloody mary ‘red snappers’ and zesty mimosas all making an appearance. Pooches will receive a Savage pupcake baked with delicious dog-friendly ingredients.

Bring your pooch to this sky-high destination and enjoy a day out with your best friend. This brunch is definitely not going to the dogs.

And if you don’t have four legs, you can still come and enjoy the usual Play Brunch that is on offer and make some new furry friends.

The Savage Garden Rooftop Dog Brunch takes place from 12pm until 4pm with reservations at 12pm, 1pm or 2pm. To reserve your table visit www.savagegarden.co.uk or call 020 7709 1043.

Hounds and humans head to West Wittering beach for a walk around beautiful East Head.

If you are picking up a kennel hound, collect from Hersham kennels between 8.30am and 9am then head to West Wittering. The Group are meeting at the far end of the big car park at West Wittering around 10.30. Our first group thing is a big group photo at 11am sharp! Then there will be some games, a lovely walk and paddling along the beach at East Head and finally a picnic!

Please bring a picnic for you and for your dogs (including kennel hounds if you’re bringing any). Please note, the Kennel hounds will not have any breakfast due to travelling.

Reach the Beach 2019 is a fabulous day for all involved, especially as many of the dogs have never seen the sea before! And of course, it’s a great way to raise the profile of greyhounds as wonderful pets.

Fleabag Picturehouse Central Dog-friendly Screening |  Dog-friendly cinema returns to Picturehouse Central on 22nd September, this time for the film ‘Fleabag’. Read our review of Picturehouse Central Dog-friendly Screenings here.

Fleabag Film Synopsis:

See the award-winning one-woman show that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, broadcast live to cinemas from London’s West End.

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (TV’s Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life.

Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. ★★★★★ “Witty, filthy and supreme.” – The Guardian

Always a popular event, tickets are £16.90 for adults and are available here.

Picturehouse Central Dog-friendly Screening Impawtent Info

Well-behaved dogs and their friendly owners (one dog per adult) are welcome at select film screenings which usually takes place on Sunday morning.  It’s a great way for dog owners to enjoy cinema without having to leave their best friend at home and to meet fellow dog-owning film fans.

Water is always available and all dogs sit on a blanketed seat so as to avoid any hairs or mess. After the event, the screen is thoroughly cleaned making sure our furry friends leave no trace behind. To further cater to cinema-loving pooches, the volume is dipped as they have superhero hearing powers.

Should a dog become unruly or adversely affect the enjoyment of others, the Manager needs to intervene and, if necessary, request that the owner and the dog leave the premises. No refund will be offered.
