About the day

A brand new day out for the Echuca-Moama community.

Doggy Day Out brings together dogs, their families, local businesses and animal lovers from across the region for a day of connection, education and celebration. Believed to be the first event of its kind in Echuca-Moama, we are building it to become an annual tradition.

Based on expressions of interest, we are expecting around 200 dogs and hundreds of community members through the gate. Most importantly, every dollar raised helps The 4S Legacy Inc continue funding private cremation and memorial keepsakes for families in financial hardship, so they can farewell their companion with dignity and compassion.

What's on

  • Regional pet businesses and market stalls
  • Pet costume parade competition
  • Food and drink vendors
  • Educational talks
  • Demonstrations
  • Raffles and prizes
  • Grooming
  • Family-friendly fun

Bring your best mate

Every shape, size and personality welcome.

Before the day

All dogs attending Doggy Day Out must be up to date with their vaccinations. By attending, owners confirm their dog's vaccinations are current and that their dog is free from any contagious illness. This is an on leash event for the comfort and safety of every dog on the day.

Registration is now open. Dog entry is capped, so register your dog via TryBooking to secure your spot.
