Temperatures are rising and the London Dog Event Calendar is hotting up too!

Dog Factor – Sunday June 4th 2017

The June Dog Show fun kicks off on Sunday June 4th with Dog Factor, an annual event from London Rescue and Rehoming Charity All Dogs Matter at Finsbury Park. With 9 categories to take part in and prizes to be won from Natural Instinct, Hownd, Leucillin and Kong Company to name a few, the chances of being a prize-winning pup are high! So what are you waiting for…put your best paw forwards London dogs!

HGS Residents Fun Dog Show –  Sunday 11th June 2017

Another weekend, another dog show…next up is the Hampstead Garden Suburb Residents Dog Show also organised by All Dogs Matter. The dog show is part of the Hampstead Garden Suburb Summer Fun Day on Central Square NW11 (next to St Judes Church) so why not get a head start on National Picnic Week and bring a picnic to make a day of it!

Waggy Wimbledon Dog Show –  Saturday 17th June 2017

Do you think your pooch could have the waggiest tail in Wimbledon? If so then the Waggy Wimbledon dog show could be yours for the taking! Held as part of the Wimbledon Guild Village Fair (the largest free outdoor event in South London apparently), the Waggy Wimbledon dog show has some interesting dog show categories in their line-up…Egg and Spoon or Relay Race anyone?! To make sure your pup is in with a chance, pre-register here.

Bring Your Dog To Work Day  – Friday June 23rd 2017

Bring Your Dog To Work Day is back and for those of us who don’t work in a dog-friendly office this is probably the best day of the working year! Organised by HOWND, the nationwide event on June 23rd will be raising money for two deserving Animal Welfare Charities All Dogs Matter  and Animals Asia. So it’s definitely time to give your dog a job and (for a small donation) get them featured in the Bring Your Dog To Work Day Hall of Fame. This year, dogs with a job also have a chance to star in the official Bring Your Dog To Work Day movie…all you need to do is download the ‘Seenit Capture’ app for free and join the project called BYD2017. You can then upload a video of your dog at work which will be used in the official event movie, how cool is that!

DogFest, the ultimate UK summer festival for dogs, is back this year with even more activities for you and four-legged friend to enjoy!
