Creep On Cute Doggos At Camp Canine, A Furry Fiesta In Honour Of Man’s Best Friend

Overly attached to your pet pooch and wish there was more you could do together in Singapore?

On 24 September, there’s an event happening that both you and your furry friend can enjoy – Camp Canine.

Happening from 12pm – 6pm, Camp Canine is the brainchild of the people behind pet thug-wear label FOURS and the events team behind Camp Kilo.

Born out of a love for pets, the dog-fest will take place at Camp Kilo Charcoal Club, a restaurant near the serene Kallang riverside that’s well-known for its tasty, hearty roast and chill, laidback atmosphere.

With an interactive dog fashion show, a friendly dog race, a pet market and more, you and your furry pal are sure to have a ball at Camp Canine. And the best part? Admission is free!

For The Dogs

Stylish Owner, Stylish Pet

First off, there will be a Dog Fashion Showcase where human and dog models decked in matching FOURS outfits will walk around, interacting and mingling with guests. An interactive fashion runway, watch these outfits in action – not just on the runway.

In the same vein of fashion, there will also be a Best Dressed Contest, where both Man and dog (mostly dog) will compete! The 3 categories are: ‘Twinning’ (best human-pooch pair), ‘Fresh AF’ (pooch with best street style), and ‘Squad Goals’ (best pooch group).

[caption id="attachment_29865" align="alignnone" width="2048"] Image Credit: FOURS Facebook[/caption]

The judges will be moving around, seeking out humans and dogs who are dressed according to the various categories.

So, deck yourself and your furry children in your Sunday’s best. Who knows? You and your dogs may just walk away proud winners of one of these titles!

Pooch Race

If fashion ain’t you and your dog’s thing, maybe racing is.

Another highlight at Camp Canine is a friendly Dog Race you can sign your furry little guy up for. All in good fun, dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes are welcome – as long as they can play well with others.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a pet, Camp Kilo Charcoal Club has also partnered with Exclusively Mongrels to set up an Adoption Drive. Get to know the adorable dogs and if you have the means to care for them, give these animals a home!

For The Humans

While being surrounded by dogs in all kinds of crazy costumes and watching them scurry around will already fill your heart with joy, there’s more in store for us humans.

Enjoy the wide BBQ selection Camp Kilo Charcoal Club has to offer, from a whole roasted pig to pork ribs. There will also be seafood like a whole Snapper, Stingray and more! Chow down on a hearty meal of meat with your friends and/or family, and let the good times roll!

Finally, pamper your pooch with goodies from the Pet Market. With a host of vendors from various pet brands, there’s no better way to end the day than with a small gift for man’s best friend.

Ultimate Guide To Dog-Friendly Places: Hang Out With Your Doggy All Day, Every Day!

Have you had your little pooch begging you with those innocent puppy eyes hoping that you’d bring them along with you? Well, you are not the only one. We too, spend at least 5 minutes every single day at the door assuring them that we’d be back in a few hours. However, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t guilty leaving them all alone. *inserts crying emoji*

Why not bring your pooch along to your next gathering? We have compiled a fun list of dog-friendly places: cafes, beaches and even a hotel, that allows you to spend some time with your fur-kid! No more sad, droopy eyes staring back at you. Plus, they also get to socialise and make some new friends. That’s definitely a win-win for doggy and us!

Dog-Friendly Restaurants/Cafes

Admit it, all of us dog owners secretly wish all cafes are dog-friendly.

We’re glad to announce that this secret dream of ours is actually coming true. There are quite a few dog-friendly cafes with excellent food in Singapore.

Not all of them have separate menus for our furry friends though, but we are sure that they are contented just lying around and spending time with us!

1) The Coastal Settlement

A superb area located in Changi, The Coastal Settlement has both indoor and outdoor seating areas. It is a cosy and spacious cafe with pretty awesome food for the humans. Also, water bowls are complimentary for our little ones.

There are a few fenced up areas in Singapore called dog runs. These facilities are created just for our cute little ones. Remove those leashes and set them free, so they can enjoy the freedom of being in the great outdoors at least for awhile. We reckon they’d be so happy (and tired!) afterwards.

1) Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park

An area that spans over 3km – we get why this place is a hot favourite on the weekends! There is also a fenced area designated for the bigger doggies out there.

2) West Coast Park

A place for the Westies! The park is open at all times so you can head there for a workout with your dog any time of the day.

On top of providing biodegradable poo bags, water taps are also available, just in case our little ones get thirsty.

Though the dog run is not that big, we are sure it is sufficient for a mid-week workout and training for our furry kids.

All dogs are required to be leashed up (except for Marina Barrage) at these places, but we are certain that doggy won’t be blaming you for that leash, since they will be spending some quality time with their favourite person!

1) East Coast Park

One of the most popular parks in Singapore, East Coast Park, is huge so there are plenty of spaces for your pooch to run around. A picnic with both your dog and human friends sounds really great!
