With spring fast approaching it's time to get outside with our pooches with the family and we thought you might need some great suggestions for the next couple of months.....Enjoy!
Pawgust (Australia Wide!)
PAWGUST is fun yet challenging event that encourages people and their pooches to walk 30 minutes a day for 30 days during August. That’s roughly 2km per day, which is no small feat in winter weather!
It is the PAWfect excuse to get active and spend some quality time with your dog, while supporting a worthy cause.
The great thing about this challenge is that you can do it whenever you want to. You and your dog can walk morning, noon or night; whatever suits you best!
By participating in PAWGUST you will improve the health and well-being of yourself and your dog.Not only will your dog love you for all the extra walks, you’ll feel great knowing that you are changing lives.
Your support will give our puppies the best start in their journey to becoming Guide Dogs.
