We are very pleased to announce that JULIUS-K9®will be returning to DogFest in Yorkshire and Bristol this September.
The 9th and 10th of September dates at Knebworth House, Hertfordshire have been cancelled. This is due to the MET office predicting temperatures over 27 degrees Celsius. These temperatures can get very uncomfortable for dogs, especially if outdoors for long periods.
DogFest have taken the smart decision to cancel the annual event at Knebworth House in the best interests of the canine’s taking part in activities and visiting dogs.
Dogs are comfortable in temperatures between 15-25°C. At hotter temperatures dog’s can overheat, become dehydrated, and suffer heatstroke. Find out more about in our article: Heatstroke and keeping your dog cool in hot weather.
