Dogs’ Day Out delivers delight

It is nearly time to dress-up your dalmatian, shampoo your sharpei and preen your poodle for the 18th annual Dogs’ Day Out on Sunday 10 November at Simmons Park in Lindisfarne. 

Each year, crowds of canines and their doting families enjoy a fun-filled day jam-packed with fun activities, competitions, stalls and more, all centred around our four-legged friends.

The ever-popular Dachshund Dash is set to once again dazzle spectators with a fur-raising display of sausage-dog speed, while other less-dexterous dogs will battle it out for Best-Dog-On-Day, Best Dress Up, Most Agile or for the highly coveted titles of Longest Sit and Waggiest Tail.

Clarence Mayor Brendan Blomeley said the event was popular for dog-owners and lovers alike.

“The Dogs’ Day Out is always a fantastically fun day for the whole family and is a firm favourite on our annual events calendar,” he said.  

“Clarence is renowned for being a dog-loving community with more than 10,000 registered dogs and more than 190 different breeds calling Clarence home.”

This year, Nala from the Dogs’ Homes of Tasmania will reprise her role as Clarence City Council’s Official Dogs’ Day Out AmbassaDog and will fulfill several important duties on the day including honourary judging and treat testing, as well as representing the Dogs’ Homes of Tasmania who have been supporting and re-homing Tasmanian dogs in need for over 74 years.
