Description
'The Big Bark' returns to the races for a Pawsome weekend in Devon!
Join us for a wonderful and exciting day, that you can dedicate to your pooch!
Here at A Doggy Day Out, we are all about bringing fun, magical and memorable days, that will be sure to leave a pawprint on your heart!
... and this time around, we are introducing even more interactive activities for you and your pooch to get involved with!
- Meaning, that now your Pooches have the chance to get their very own 'Pawsome Adventure Ticket' (see below for more details) - and we are making the Puppy Zone bigger! - So now the precious babies will have a bigger, better and more bespoke area with activities in, ensuring they have lots more fabulous fun too!!
We will also be hosting the wildly popular 'Wags Meet Up', where you and your pooch will get the chance to meet a variety of other dogs and owners alike - who knows you might just meet your new walking buddy!
This year, at Exeter, we will also be introducing the 'Memory Tree'. A special place where you can dedicate a message to those paws who are no longer with us, whilst in turn helping to support one of our great local charities. All precious memories written for the tree, will then, after the event be buried in our special memory garden, forever held within the earth.
So with so many demonstrations and activities to do, expect a jam packed day with plenty to do, filled with lots of smiles and woofs !
