If you’re a dog lover, this is your ultimate two-day paw-ty invitation. Over the past decade, the Melbourne Dog Lovers Festival has blossomed into one of Australia’s top dog-dedicated events, offering a slice of heaven for anyone who believes their pooch is more than just a pet – they’re family. From its humble beginnings in the mid-2010s to surviving the ups and downs of the COVID era, the festival has continued to grow, educating and entertaining dog owners at every wag of the tail. This milestone event promises an unforgettable celebration of our furry friends, inviting Melburnians to enjoy an ultimate birthday bash like no other. Festival founder, Jason Humphris, is pawsitively thrilled to mark this decade-long journey with new festival attractions and reflect on all the amazing accomplishments. “Expanding to the Melbourne Showgrounds is the perfect next step,” says Humphris. “With an exciting line-up of doggie entertainment, educational zones, and talks from top Aussie pet experts, we can’t wait to share our special day with all dog lovers.” This year, the festival is rolling out the red carpet for some tail-wagging new features.

Stylish Hound is the doggo brand you and your beloved four-legged friend have been waiting for!

Updated: 21/02/2021

Boutique doggo brand Stylish Hound was launched in late 2019 by hound lovers, Karen and Edward. And now thanks to this innovative and creative couple, your fur baby has a gorgeous range of doggy products such as harnesses, leashes, collars, and seatbelts to choose from to suit their individual personalities and needs. From the playful ‘High Top’ range to the sweet ‘Newtown’ lineup, you’re bound to find a design that suits your doggo’s personality, size, and temperament. Does she have a tendency to pull when you go walking? Then take a look at Stylish Hound’s ‘No-Pull Dog Harness’ – the brand’s signature product that came about after Karen suffered a broken arm and found walking Bagel the beagle next to impossible. Affordable, functional, and super cute, there’s now no excuse for not spoiling your fur baby! And remember, when travelling with your friend in the car, it’s illegal not to have your furry friend restrained in the car with their own doggy seat belt (so as to not distract the driver). It also acts as a restraint to keep the dog safely in the car. The fine in NSW if caught with an unrestrained dog can be in excess of $400 and a penalty of three demerit points. So if you were unaware of this law, or have been hoping not to get caught, the risk of being fined far outweighs the cost of having a sensible (and stylish) seat belt and harness. If you and your fur baby enjoy water sports, Stylish Hound also… Read More
