A dog has got to have a lot of patience to let you dress it up and create professional photoshoots for Instagram, so you better reward your long-suffering fluffy mate with a trip to Central Park Mall for Dog Day Out.
It’ll be a pet-focused affair, with market stalls dedicated to doggo health checks, treats, photography and day care providers setting up on the grassed area. There’ll also be a pet-adoption tent, for any yet-to-be pet parents.
But if you came here to slay, enter yourself and your fashion-forward pup in the dog dress-up comp for the ‘best duo’ prize – yes, a tailored dog-human team outfit could be necessary. If you take out the top gong, you’ll score dog-friendly prizes worth up to $1,000. To enter, you’ll need to make a $5 donation to the animal rescue group Sydney Cats and Dogs Home.
Anyone else attending on the day can also contribute to this local charity, with all proceeds going towards building their new animal shelter and community facility.
