The show is a grrr-eat family day out and has something for everyone, including a sponsored dog walk around the park, a Summer Fair, children’s games such as ‘beat the goalie’, trade stands and stalls selling PDSA goods and refreshments.

The Dog Show gives proud owners the opportunity to show off their four-legged friends in a range of classes, such as cutest puppy, most obedient, ‘waggiest’ tail and of course, best in show! Registration begins at 11am and judging will take place from 1pm.

Nikki Andrews, PDSA Events Officer, says:- “PDSA’s Fun Dog show in Arrowe Park has something to keep every member of the family happy – especially the dog! So, why not bring the family down for a ‘grrr-eat’ day out and help us raise vital funds to treat the sick and injured pets of local people in need.”

On Saturday 1 September the show will also host regional heats for the national Scruffts Family Crossbreed Dog of the Year competition.

Classes include, Handsome Crossbreed Dog, Prettiest Crossbreed Bitch, Child’s Best Friend and Golden Oldie.

The first place winners will then be eligible to enter the national Grand Final held at Discover Dogs on Sunday, 11 November, in London.

Funds raised at the dog show will help provide free veterinary treatment in the local area, where Everton and Huyton PDSA PetAid hospitals care for the sick and injured pets of people in need.
