Mad Paws Easter Egg Hunt 2019

Overview

If your pup's been trying to sad-eye his or her way into your Easter celebrations, but without much chocolatey success, here's a solution for you both. From midday on Saturday, April 13, Mad Paws, an Aussie pet-sitting network, is bringing its annual Dog Easter Egg Hunt to Melbourne for the first time.

For two furry hours, your drooling, slobbering one will be the focus of all attention. More than that — it'll get to scour Fawkner Park for dog-friendly Easter treats. The pupper who finds the most will also win prizes, so your cute pooch could enjoy a very indulgent day indeed.

While the main attraction is part of a country-wide push to hold the world's biggest dog easter egg hunt (with simultaneous events happening in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Darwin), there'll also be games, dog trainers offering advice and plenty of four-legged cuties everywhere you look. Last year's Sydney festivities featured agility courses, best-dressed comps, pupcakes and massages —here's hoping they all make the leap to Melbourne.
