Looking for an excuse to spoil your pup, or just go crazy petting everyone else's doggos? Head over Paddo Inn this month for its first Doggy Day on Sunday, September 29 from 10am–2pm. The front bar will be filled with furry friends and is set up to pamper their fluffy ears off.

First up, Vets on Crown will be in the house, offering free medical checks. There will also be pet photography shoots by GoBarkly and personalised accessories by Porters 4 Pets. On the pooch-only menu, meatballs and biscuits will be up for grabs. And the first 30 dogs will receive a complimentary gift bag from Healthy Everyday Pets, too.

Humans aren't forgotten either. Chef Mark Holland has created a special brunch menu for the occasion, with full english breakfasts, vegetarian omelettes, bacon and egg rolls and pastries galore, plus bottomless bloody marys and mimosas (two hours for $35). If you head in after noon, you can also nab the pub's much loved Sunday roast.

Entry is free, but you can book a table over here.
