The event is dedicated to our ‘best friends’ that bring together the community, by providing a fun pet-friendly day out with activities, specialty market stalls, interactive demonstrations, and education and awareness seminars. Highlights of the event will include a community dog walk, pet paw-traits, costume competitions and a pup-cup eating competition.

Bring your pup and stroll a short, fun course with fellow dog lovers. You’ll also receive a complimentary show bag thanks to our official walk sponsor Ray White Langwarrin. It’s a great way to start the day and enjoy some fresh air with your four-legged friend.
All dogs must have good pet-iquette and remain on a leash at all times.
