Join an estimated 10,000 people and 3,000 dogs for an unforgettable day packed with activities, shopping, and fun- all in support of local charities.

Things to do at Pawlooza:

- Take your dog dock diving or swimming in the Pawlooza pond

- Test agility skills and race through the lure course

- Go off-leash in the FunZone

- Learn new tricks and get obedience advice

- Watch exciting agility demonstrations

Admission:
$15 per vehicle in advance, or $20 per vehicle at the gate (parking included). Carpool and bring your friends, family, and dogs!

Why it matters:
Pawlooza is run entirely by volunteers, with proceeds benefiting ARF Ontario, rescuing and rehoming stray animals, and LEADS Employment Services, supporting people with disabilities in Southwestern Ontario.

Come out, have fun, and help raise awareness about Canada’s pet overpopulation crisis, all while spoiling your dog at this one-of-a-kind festival!
