Bark in the Park - phoenix park - saturday 7th september

Leave a Comment
Next Saturday there will be the 4th and last Bark in the Park 2013.
Bark in the Park is a sponsored dog walk to raise funds in aid of the work of The Irish Blue Cross animal welfare charity.

There will be a walk (dog on leash) and a raffle, music, goody bags (sponsored by Maxi Zoo) and prizes for the dog with the Best Bark, Shiniest Coat, Happiest Smile and Waggiest Tail

I have been at the 1st Bark in the Park in St. Annes Park and it has been a very nice experience!
The sun was shining and a lot of dogs were there!
I met a lot of new people, new doggies and Jago had the chance to play with many new friends!

It's very good to know that we can have a nice day out and in the same time help a good organization like the Irish Blue Cross.
The Irish Blue Cross is an animal welfare charity that provides low-cost veterinary services for people on a low income around Dublin.

National chipping month + competition!!!

2 comments
I wrote few days ago an article about the compulsory microchipping in Ireland.

September is the Ireland's National chipping month

That means that there will be initiatives all around the country and there will be more opportunities to have your dog microchipped at reduced price or free of charge!

There are many sponsors and associations involved and you can find updated information here:
http://www.ncm.ie/ and here on the facebook page

There is also a competition  promoted by National Microchipping Month campaign to raise awareness about the benefits of microchipping pets and animals.

The overall winner will receive FREE pet insurance for their pet for one year and FREE pet food for the same animal for a year courtesy of our partners, Royal Canin and Allianz Pet Insurance.

You will find details about the competition here:

It looks like a good opportunity!

If you are not sure about the microchip details you can check it for free at maxizoo stores:

Another dog friendly pub in Dublin

Leave a Comment


Another place to add to the list of dog friendly pubs
Tonight I've been in Schoolhouse pub / hotel in Ballsbridge Dublin 4 for the leaving party of a friend.


I brought Jago as I knew they have a big outdoor space.

There are tables and chairs and nobody was complaining that I was there with Jago.


So another dog friendly pub found! Finally in Dublin city!

He even met a dog, off leash, I suppose coming from the houses in the nearby and they have been playing for a while together!

This is the website: http://www.schoolhousehotel.com/

(I didn't ask anything to the staff to be honest, so I hope they don't mind I am writing this post :P maybe they won't be happy to have many dogs?)
