In March, there are six dog events that you can take your best fur friends to, and they all sound like great fun!
1. Pet Fest 2018This will be held on 11th March, 2018 from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm at the Woodville Reserve, North Perth.
This event will include free micro-chipping for your pet, food trucks for both pets and humans, a sensory garden for dogs and the most wonderful pet related stalls.
This will be hosted by WA Pet Project and the City of Vincent. WA Pet Project is a group of volunteers who give their time to change the lives of pets and humans.
They re-home and have an adoption program for dogs and cats, and their aim is to have a world where animal rescues don't need to exist.
Another aim is to help the community become great pet owners through various education programmes, online resources and dog training courses.
2. Dog Day Out 2018This will be held on 24th March, 2018 from 9.00 am to 2.00 pm at 28 Phoenix Road, Hamilton Hill.
This is an annual event which been a huge success so far. You can bring your furry friend along for a great day out.
There will be ice cream, bouncy castle for the children, a rescue grooming competition, games, sausage sizzle dog wash and heaps of stalls.
One of the stalls is
Mad Dog Accessories, who have some "wacky" things for dogs. They also have specially designed bowls that stop your dog from gulping the food down. I have one of these and they are brilliant!
Heidi's Doggie Treats will also be there, and these are great natural treats for your dog.
3. Easter Party
This Easter Party is being held by BooBoo's Doggy Day Care, 51 Furniss Road, Lansdale on 24th March, 2018 from 10.00 am to 11.30 am.
