Charity Fun Day at Ark Animal Centre

What to pack for the big doggy day out?

• Chairs and picnic blankets
• Leash for your four-legged friend
• Comfortable walking shoes.
• Umbrella, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat and appropriate outdoor weather clothing - gazebo's are allowed for additional shade. There is natural shade from the trees around the area.
• Pet sunscreen if your dog has a fair/white coat, a pink nose and/or ears or hairless skin.
• Poop bags to collect 'doggy deposits'.
• Cash for food, refreshments and the fantastic pet products and merchandise on sale - or even to make a donation!

What not to pack?

• Do not bring your own food or cold drinks - exceptions are made for special dietary requirements and small children/babies. Food and Drinks will be available for purchase on the day.
• No glass in any shape or form.
• No alcohol due to regulations.

What if it Rains?
This event is an outdoor event with no shelter, the event will go ahead come rain or shine. As the weather can be temperamental, we can only prepare until the day before the event.
When you make the decision to purchase a ticket to an outdoor event, you choose to attend an event that will face the elements and that means you too! :)

Safety:
It's important that all participants - four-legged and two-legged alike - have a safe day. 

• All four-legged friends should be socialised, fully vaccinated and on a leash at all times. 
• Children MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times.
• Bring only the necessary items, leave valuables at home.
• There will be a car guard on the day, but please ensure that you do not leave any valuables in your car.

This will ensure that we all have a fun day out!
