DogFest was a huge success this weekend, welcoming thousands of pet lovers to Ragley Hall for two fun-filled days celebrating all things dog.

Crowds gathered for the ever-popular Fun Dog Show, in partnership with Agria Pet Insurance, where 21 dogs took home titles including Waggiest Tail and Best Rescue. The coveted Best in Show prize went to Daisy, a therapy dog who brings joy to schools and retirement homes.

DogFest and Agria also highlighted their shared commitment to animal welfare. The Spaniel Rescue Foundation joined the weekend to raise awareness and connect rescue dogs with potential adopters. Thanks to visitor donations, the charity will be able to support more spaniels in need with food, care, and training.
