Scratch Patch

Overview

If you thought your pooch was spoiled before, just you wait until they find themselves living it up at Scratch Patch — the activity-filled pop-up dog park of their twitchiest doggy dreams.

The brainchild of ethical pet food company Scratch, Scratch Patch has arrived at Edinburgh Gardens from Saturday, March 5–Sunday, March 27. And oh boy, is it a mood. The playground is filled with fun obstacles and activities for the four-legged crowd, from high jump and agility poles to ball pits and totem tennis. There's even a dog-friendly pop-up pool.

If your pup is more of a book worm type, we're sure they'll be pretty stoked with a visit to the on-site stick library. Meanwhile, a tuck shop is slinging an array of healthy Scratch pet food and treats for big appetites. And, since no pet parent can call themselves such without a camera roll full of adorable snaps to prove it, there'll be installations offering photo ops galore.

Scratch customers and City of Yarra residents can enjoy Scratch Patch for free, with a $10 cover charge for everyone else. Bookings are required — you'd better snap up a play slot for Luna so she doesn't get left out and have to hear about it from all her mates forevermore.
