We had a truly lovely day out. Ava absolutely loved all the stalls (especially the free treats!) and all the great activities which we’re all perfect for a variety of dogs. Plenty of water stations and water zones to keep the dogs cool and shady areas too! Everyone was so friendly. Can’t wait for next year (hopefully this could be on more often than once a year!) 🥰🤩 thank you all

Much better than last year so well done to all those involved making it such a wonderful day. We have 2 cockapoos who had a fantastic time chasing the flag round the field and jumping over the haystacks. They were full up of treats from the lovely people on the dog stands and enjoyed a paddle in the dog sprinkler (it was a hot day) The dog competitions were fun but could I make a suggestion of having a fancy dress category and separating competition rings so spectators can walk round each one for a better view. Freebie bags were a lovely touch full of doggy treats . We will be back again next year.

Mabel (and us) had the best day! She loved meeting everyone and we thought it was great how spread out the areas were so there was space for dogs not to get overwhelmed. So many generous freebies and great people on the stalls, loved the bar for us too! Mabel got so much fuss, but it was a nice relaxing afternoon. We can’t wait for next year!

My GSD had a fantastic time. He swam, chased, jumped and ran, giving everything a go. He caught the lure (breaking it), but they fixed it and let him have another go. We ended the day with a decompressing walk through the woodland path. My only negative is that I bought my ticket within minutes of them being released. If I had waited, I would have got it cheaper , as there were some special offers around Mother’s Day and Easter. I also got one of the gift bags, which had promised a toy for my dog. My bag consisted of leaflets, poo bags and a pen. There was nothing in there for my dog, so I was very disappointed. The day itself was fantastic and I will definitely attend next time.

We had the best time at Pawfest this year, it is one of those events where everything just works. The sun was shining, the dogs were happy, and the vibe was so friendly and relaxed and the new layout we felt worked brilliantly as there was lots of room for the more nervous doggies.

There was loads to do, we loved the dog show (seriously adorable contestants), and picked up some fab treats and bits from the stalls. Everyone was so welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do, it really made the day feel special.

The setting at Betteshanger is always perfect too, loads of open space, easy parking, great food options, and plenty of shady spots when the dogs needed a break.

Huge shoutout to the organisers – it was well thought out, smoothly run, and just a genuinely lovely way to spend a weekend. We’ll 100% be back next year!
