Pawfest 2025

A Pawsome Day at Pawfest!

Baxter and I had a great time at Pawfest, held at the beautiful Betteshanger Park in Kent.

We started the day with a visit to Dogiko, where Baxter was offered a wellness puppuccino. It was a lovely little treat, with some of their digestion supplements added in. Baxter absolutely loved it!

Next, we joined the woodland walk, where Baxter had the chance to explore peaceful forest trails and meet some new Beagle friends. Seeing him happily trotting alongside others, sniffing around, and enjoying the natural surroundings was such a joy.

After the walk, we made our way to the experience zone. Baxter impressed me by navigating Temptation Alley with such focus, he ignored the tempting toys and treats and came straight to me! Then, during the scentwork, he quickly found the hidden rabbit ear, showing off his love for using his nose.

Feeling a little peckish, I treated myself to a cookie and Baxter to a pupcake from The Acre Kitchen. The cookie was soft and delicious, and Baxter’s pupcake looked almost too cute to eat – but he didn’t hesitate! We both really enjoyed our treats.

We made sure to visit the wellness zone, where we took part in a canine massage workshop hosted by the Canine Rehab Co. I learned a few different massage techniques and must have been doing it right, as Baxter visibly relaxed! Then, we tried dog yoga, hosted by Chloe. Baxter kept close while I practiced my stretches and enjoyed some time on the mat with me.

Pawfest really lived up to its promise. It was a day filled with sniffing, exploring, learning, chilling, and most importantly bonding with your dog. We left feeling happy, refreshed, and grateful for the chance to share such a special day together
