ABOUT
Join us for a fun dog walk filled with sun and sea air on Sunday the 4th of December 2022, along the Umhlanga Promenade.
This 2,5km dog walk is a non-profit community event brought to you by Absolute Pets. Other than providing a great opportunity to spend some quality time with your favourite four-legged friend, the event helps raise funds for local animal welfare and promotes responsible dog walking which ensures that public spaces stay dog-friendly. At the event you’ll have the chance to interact with and get great advice from local pet businesses from grooming to microchipping and training as well as meet your favourite brands across pet nutrition, tick and flea treatment, toys and more.
There will be fantastic lucky draw prizes and giveaways! Does your dog do amazing tricks? Are they tail-wagging happy? Then you can enter them into our fun competitions for a chance to win fabulous prizes!
