Here's more information:

Join Equafleece at the Macmillan Dog Day and help raise funds for cancer care

Equafleece, the outdoor clothing specialists for dogs and their owners, will be presenting Macmillan Cancer Support with a cheque at the charity's 2009 fundraising Dog Day.

The Macmillan Dog Day, held at the Royal Chelsea Gardens, London on 30th June, is the canine social event of the year. There will be lots to see and do, including a fun dog show with celebrity-judged classes.

Equafleece will be donating 10 per cent of sales from its range of hi-viz clothing for people and dogs, from 1 st May to 30 th June, to the charity that provides practical, medical, emotional and financial support for cancer patients.

Give your pet a great day out and while you're there visit the Equafleece stall to see for yourself how brilliant the hi-viz range is.

Equafleece hi-viz jumpers and coats for dogs give 360-degree visibility, unlike flashing collars or collar attachments that can only be seen from certain angles. So whether you are walking in the park, hiking through fields or trekking up mountains, your dog will be safe and seen with Equafleece.

Follow your pet's lead and get an Equafleece for yourself too. Equafleece clothing for people stands out in the crowd because of its stylish variations and vibrant colours but it is always practical and designed with outdoor pursuits in mind.

Special guests in recent years have included Elizabeth Hurley, Jade Jagger, Trinny & Susannah, Ben Fogle and the Duchess of Cornwall who all attended with their fabulous four legged friends. Last year the event rose over £60,000 for leading cancer care charity Macmillan to help them continue providing services which help make a real difference to the lives of cancer patients and their families.

 

Along with celebrity dog lovers, guests can join in the canine fun and enter their dog into a variety of classes including ‘Waggiest Tail', ‘Perkiest Pup' and ‘A Bit of Ruff'. In between classes, there are opportunities for some doggy retail therapy, with a variety of stalls selling everything a dog could ever need, as well as face-painting fun for children, a luxury Grand Prize Draw, a special doggy deli and behavioral consultations for naughty pups with Dog Borstal's Rob Alleyne. Supported by Burlington Arcade, tickets start from £20 for adults and £5 for children.
