Seven things you won’t want to miss at this year’s Mowgli Dog Show

The much-loved Mowgli Dog Show is back at Claremont Farm this weekend, bringing two days of dogs, food, fun and fundraising – and it’s all in support of Claire House Children’s Hospice.

Now in its seventh year, the Mowgli Dog Show takes place on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June at Claremont Farm in Bebington, Wirral. Described by Mowgli founder and CEO Nisha Katona as “Glastonbury for pet lovers”, the show is a celebration of everything we love about our four-legged friends – and every penny of profit goes directly to Claire House, helping children and families who need it most.

Nisha said:
“The Mowgli Dog Show is my favourite day of the year. Dogs bring joy, loyalty and love to our busy lives, and this show brings everyone together in celebration of them – all while supporting the incredible work done by Claire House. Thanks to everyone who’s supported us over the years, we’ve raised over £300,000 for the hospice so far.”

Sponsored by Liverpool John Moores University, this year’s event promises to be the biggest yet, packed with entertainment for the whole family. If you’re heading down, here are seven things you won’t want to miss:
