The West End Dog Show was created on May 13th, 2008. This special event helps build a stronger pet community in the Vancouver area by celebrating our deep love for our dogs; and by raising money for a unique charity every year.
This year the West End Dog Show will be donating ALL proceeds from the event to the BC Guide Dog Services so they can train more seeing-eye dogs for the visually challenged people who need them.
This inclusive event will feature many fun activities for local dog owners & dog lovers to take part in. There will be lots of fun things to do at the West End Dog Show. Sit back and watch a doggie fashion show, get some free dog treats for your baby pooch, have your dog washed for charity, or watch to see who will win the softest dog award ; )
The layout for this event will feel much the same as a farmer’s market… but for dogs! You can take a walk around and say hello to your local pet shops and animal hospitals; mingle with the other dog owners, or you can enter your dog in a tail-wagging contest.
All dogs are welcome and please remember to bring your leash and some poop bags. There is also a fantastic off-leash area at Nelson Park if your dog wants to go for a run with some of her/his friends!
We look forward to seeing you and your best friend there.
WOOF!! WOOF!!
The West End Dog Show
P.S. – This event will take place inside the off-leash dog area at Nelson park which is located at the corner of Bute and Nelson streets in Vancouver, BC.
Nelson Park is the one located right behind the St. Pauls hospital.

My dog and I always get frightened looks when we walk down the street. Really we’re rather friendly… however people take one look at my dog and pick up their children or small dogs and walk to the closest exit….
My dog’s name is Mr. Muffin Head… and that pretty much tells you what his attitue is like.
Come see him saturday, if you dare…

Wish I’d known about this sooner! It sounds great, and maybe I could have been a sponsor too. My dog Rumble and I will be there.

Quite a few friends mentioned that they didn’t know about the event. Perhaps more advertising needs to be done. I’m sure plenty people would be more than happy to put up posters all over the Lower Mainland. It’s such a great event, it needs more attention and also needs to be done more frequently!!!
