Waggy Tail Walk and Dog Show

This special event celebrates everything we love about our canine companions - the incredible bond we share and the joy they bring to even the toughest days. 🐶🐾

Join us for a fantastic, fun-filled day for the whole family! The stars of the show will be the four-legged members of the family, all hoping to take home a prized rosette in our Dog Show before heading out to explore the sights and scents of Eglinton Country Park on our sponsored 5km walk. 🚶‍ā™€ļøšŸ•

Proudly sponsored by Vets for Pets, your pooch can enter up to three fun Dog Show categories for a chance to earn a place on our winner’s podium. Our overall Best in Show will be revealed at the end of the walk, where one lucky pup will win a year’s Care Plan courtesy of Vets for Pets. 🐾

The 5km sponsored walk (minimum £150 sponsorship) will set off after the Dog Show, led by our 2026 Ambassadog. Every pawprint helps raise vital funds to support patients and their loved ones across Ayrshire and Arran. ā¤ļø

With food, refreshments and fantastic shopping stalls throughout the day, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this pawsitively perfect celebration of our pets! šŸ¾šŸŽ‰
