Cardiff Dog Days of Summer

Cardiff has an annual Dog Days of Summer Festival between the streets of Chesterfield and Birmingham. If you love sun and dogs this is the place for you. Lots of fun pet related vendors such as Canidae, Dirty Dogs, Rancho Coastal Humane Society, It’s the Pits Rescue, and our very own Unilocal where you can get your picture taken with your pooch.
They also had some discount vets, yummy food vendors (hello bacon hot dogs) and a beer garden sponsored by Lost Abbey.
They have an agility course where you can test out your dogs skills and also a big tank for those dogs who love to dive in the water.
Every breed of dog imaginable and tons of food and treat samples to be had. I’m in the middle of trying to switch my dogs food as she is very picky and the samples were a great way to find out what dog food my dog would actually eat without spending a fortune and wasting food.
I also scored some discount Comfortis which I was needing to buy. The vet did a free quick exam and I was able to buy Comfortis at a incredible discounted rate. Over $ 7.00 off per pill!!! Also saved me the cost of a $ 50.00 vet visit just to score flea meds. If anything the trip to this festival was worth it for that alone.
Parking can be a little tough but we managed to find close parking both times. We left at noon and went home for a bit and decided to return a few hours later. That’s how much fun we had and our dog had.
So keep your eyes peeled for next years Cardiff Dog Days of Summer. You don’t want to miss out.
