Central Coast Council’s popular ‘Dogs Day Out’ returns on Saturday 22 February from 9am-3pm at Terilbah Reserve in The Entrance North.

This beloved community event promises a fun-filled day for our furry friends, their owners and the entire community.

Now in its fourth year, this year's event is bigger and better than ever, with 30 local businesses hosting stalls, training programs and demonstrations.

Central Coast Council Director Environment and Planning, Jamie Loader said the event is a fantastic opportunity to promote responsible pet ownership in a fun and engaging way.

“This annual event celebrates our furry friends while reminding us of the importance of responsible dog ownership,” Mr Loader said.

“Since the event's inception, we've seen a remarkable increase in participation from local businesses and pet service providers and this year's event features a diverse range of stalls, services and training programs.

“Our partners at SoCares will once again provide free microchipping and check-your-chip services, while the Animal Welfare League will offer free health checks, low-cost vaccinations and valuable pet care advice.

“By promoting free microchipping, we aim to increase the number of microchipped pets on the Central Coast, facilitating the safe return of lost pets to their owners.”

Event highlights include:

  • Grooming presentation
  • Agility demonstration
  • Fancy dress competition
  • Best trick competition
  • Pug race
  • Free dog microchipping and health checks
  • Low-cost vaccinations
  • Acoustic music from Toby Wells
  • Doggy toys, clothes and treats
  • Food and drink stalls for the humans

Council Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said dogs play a vital role in many local families' lives, offering companionship, social interaction and a sense of security.

“Our community deeply values their pets, and Council’s Dogs Day Out offers a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the special bond we share with them, while socialising with other dogs and their owners from across the region,” Mayor McKinna said.

“This event promotes responsible pet ownership and increases community awareness about the importance of providing our pets with the love and care they truly deserve.”

Event details:

  • Saturday 22 February 2025
  • 9am-3pm
  • Terilbah Reserve, Wilfred Barrett Drive, The Entrance North

Locals are encouraged to bring along their dogs to the event but remember they must be on a leash.
