PUPPIES, puppacinos, and performances were among the many aspects of this year's festival for dogs.

What could only be described as a dog’s dream, the popular event returned to Burley Park and saw over 10,000 canines and their owners entertained at a fun-filled day out.

Four-legged friends could enjoy a vast range of swimming pools, dog-catered cafes, and more.

Festival goer Maddie said: “I haven’t been to a festival quite like this. I love seeing the range of dogs here, everyone is so friendly and the food is so good.”

There was something for everyone, festival goers could also choose from a range of food stands from churros carts to Crepe Roulette and paella.

Spectators could also admire the work of dog agility with several showings including Bournemouth’s own Crufts champion, Jodie Forbes, and her dogs.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue were also on hand to offer advice on fires, with the help of their resident fire dogs, Saxon and Louis.

Praise was also given to local businesses selling their trade.

Organisers Rich, Dom, and Bella said: “A huge thank you goes to all our fabulous stallholders, we love to champion the small, the artisan, and the independent producers. These were treats, gifts, and some of the best local street food on show.

“A big ‘paws up’ to our sponsors, headlining with Naturo Pet Foods and supported by Animal Friends, New Forest Cottages, and the super dog-friendly Montagu Arms Hotel.”

Dogstival took place at Burley Park on June 1 and 2.
