London’s second Dog Week taking place 23rd – 29th March 2020 will be a glamorous affair as it prepares for one of its hotly anticipated events, its first ever Pet Gala, promising pooch prestige runway looks in a doggie Fashion Show and a glamorous Award Ceremony.

LDW’s 2020 Pet Gala has all the hallmark’s of upstaging New York’s annual fundraiser known as the Met Gala or Met Ball where Hollywood’s elite showcase conceptual designs for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Exhibition. 

Following on from the success of last year’s inaugural London Dog Week, Londoner’s are in for a treat as line-up of tail-wagging activities and events designed to celebrate the therapeutic power of our furry friends will soon be unveiled to dog owners and lovers. And in true doggie fashion, this year LDW will launch its own online boutique of poochwear fashion giving puppy lovers the chance to parade their furry friends to the world and proudly support [i]Hearing Dogs, LDW’s official 2020 charity, an organisation that trains dogs to help deaf people leave loneliness behind. 

London won’t be the only community to enjoy the fun as the U.S.A prepares for its own first ever Dog Week in Los Angeles. Taking inspiration from its London dog community, L.A. Dog Week will launch with its very own Pet Gala in September 2020. Our stateside pooch lovers and owners will be bringing out the diamante dog collars for its very own Pet Gala as the glitterati of California proudly strut their pooches in Hollywood’s most iconic location to be announced - a little dog nod to its London sister, LDW.

London Gets Cuddley

Londoners will get the chance to pet a pooch as London Dog Week partners with the Cuddle Club, a series of pop ups across the capital offering dog lovers and owners the chance to release those endorphins and open up their social network as a result across all generations. Last year saw brands such as L’oreal, London City Airport, Virgin Limited, The Office Group, King’s College Hospital and Thames Reach get cuddly with the puppy love. 

Co-founder Aneka Johnson, says, “Our first London Dog Week was a massive success as so many businesses were immediately receptive to the idea of making London more dog friendly. For 2020 we want to really drive home how dog ownership can alleviate London’s epidemic of loneliness and to just generally encourage people to celebrate positive interaction with dogs. This time we are pulling out all the glamour stops! “

Co-founder Lois Mallett Walker says, “We’re so happy that people from across the globe were really interested in taking part in our first LDW and Los Angeles was the next step to spread the love of dog ownership since the community in California are totally in tune with what dogs can bring to the individual and a community. We can’t wait to bring Dog Week to the States.

10% of proceeds will go to Hearing Dogs charity - https://www.hearingdogs.org.uk/
