Eukanuba and celebrity guest Ben Fogle are inviting members of the public to grab your leads and join them in support the Ulster Cancer Foundation?’s annual Dogswalk event at Stormont Estate, Belfast on Sunday 30th May.

Castaway star and Countryfile presenter Ben Fogle, will be presenting certificates and goodie bags to all those families whose dogs complete the walk and giving away a number of spot prizes during the event.

As well as the actual walk there will also be a kid's treasure hunt, face painters, dog handling and falconry displays, Ekido sword demonstration, clowns, refreshments and much more.?”
Sponsors of the event, Eukanuba are also running a competition to win a trip for four people to the world famous ?“Crufts?” dog show at the NEC in Birmingham. See details of how to enter at all Jollyes Pet Food Stores across the province.
