It's a Dog's Life

Overview

Knowing when to treat yo'self is an essential life skill. Spoiling your furry, barking, four-legged best friend is just as important, of course. Pampering your pupper is hardly difficult — who doesn't want to shower their adorable little canine with everything its little heart desires? — but we're guessing you haven't yet taken your pooch to a tapas bar for dogs.

Imagine how your woofer's face will light up when they see all that food — and that's just part of the fun at It's a Dog's Life. A puppy party that also doubles as a mini marketta, it'll also feature an indoor off-leash area, a pooch-friendly ball pit, pupcakes and doggy doughnuts, pooch portrait sessions, a kissing booth, a pupper beauty station and a range of businesses showcasing canine products. For humans, there'll be a licensed bar and cafe as well.

If your very good dog is keen, head to Smoked Garage in Fortitude Valley from 11am on Saturday, February 1. Tickets cost $29, and it's recommended that you nab one in advance as places are limited — but, as well as entry for you and your pup, you'll receive a Pimm's cup or Aperol spritz on arrival.

With the weather set to be warm, you and and pooch will also be pleased to know that the whole shindig takes place in air-conditioned comfort.
