An important message from our Co-Founders

Jason and Sally Humphris

Hi Dog Lovers!

Thank you for supporting our Festival! We’ll have 100s of dogs there this year. We’re working hard to ensure it is run under controlled conditions, for the safety of dogs and people, but we could never deliver this level of care if every visitor brought their own dog. So, we ask please don’t bring your own dog. Here’s our strict policy. Have a super fun day out at the Festival and make sure you bring home lots of treats and gifts for your dogs!

Paws Sincerely,

Jason & Sally Humphris & Sunday & Betty (our inspo!)
