Whiteman Park Doggies Day Out2024 13 web
We’re celebrating our four-legged visitors with a fun-filled Doggies Day Out especially for the Park’s pooches!

Hosted in the lush surrounds of Mussel Pool West, there's loads of space to roam in and around the event to find local pet services, pick up loads of great pet products and generally have fun with your four-legged family members.

The event will start gently with a Quiet Hour from 10am - 11am, to help those who need a little bit of chill to enjoy the day. Behavioural experts will be on hand during this time to assist too.

The kids won’t miss out either, with face painter, doggy-themed bouncy castle and more to keep them entertained. This is truly an event for the whole family – pooch and all!

  • Happy Dog @ 1.00pm – Whose pooch best emulates our iconic ‘Happy Dog’? We’re looking for the dogs with the widest grins and the waggiest tails!
  • Dog’s Got Talent @ 1.45pm – Is your dog a ‘booper’? Can they catch a treat or shake paws on demand? If so, this is the competition for them!
  • Lookalikes @ 2.15pm – Do you and your dog share more than a home? If you’re looking a bit twinsy, this mini-comp is for you!
