London's biggest dog event is back this September.
Join us on September 14th and 15th for THE dog event of the year.
Following it's success last year, The Big Woof returns with a packed schedule of activities for you and your dog to enjoy. We have some old favourites returning from last year, together with some fantastic new additions to the schedule.
This year's theme is Wellness and we will have a host of activities to promote a happy and healthy relationship between you and your dog.
Here's what you can experience at The Big Woof 2024!
**Just added - Napo Scent Maze**
Do some serious sniffing.....
Napo Pet Insurance present the scent maze at The Big Woof where pooches can run free and be guided by their noses.
Scent work is an excellent way for your dog to have fun and is also great for their mental and physical well-being.
The maze will be located on Lewis Cubitt Park and you can book a 10 minute sniff-a-thon!
Bond with your dog over a massage...............
The Big Woof Wellness Studio is presented by The Wellness Foundry who are bringing their wealth of experience into the dog world.
In the studio you can enjoy Yoga and Sound Bathing with your dog (don't worry pooches, there is no water or shampoo involved) or experience the benefits of canine massage with Galen Myotherapy.
