Discover the fun

We’re bringing the North East of Scotland a brand-new dog event designed for the whole family to enjoy. Big Doggy Day Out is all about spending quality time together, having a laugh, and making memories — with your dog right at the heart of it all.

From fun, easy-to-join competitions and interactive activities, to live demonstrations, workshops, and friendly expert advice, there’s something for everyone — whether you’re visiting with kids, seasoned dog lovers, or first-time dog owners.

It’s also a great source of information for anyone thinking about adding a dog to their family for the first time. Meet experienced owners, chat to professionals, learn about different breeds, and get honest, helpful advice to help you make the right choice.

Let the kids enjoy the excitement, watch the dogs in action, try something new together, and enjoy a relaxed day out filled with wagging tails, happy faces, and plenty to see and do.
