My Paw-fect Valentine takes place at Dobbies’ Gailey store on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 February, with a great line-up of activities, treats and photo opportunities.

Tickets are priced at £15 per pooch and include access to the Dobbies’ mini-Valentine’s Garden where dogs willl get a ‘forever’ rose toy for every dog; create a paw-print keepsake picture; and pose for a digital photo in front of a Valentine’s themed backdrop. One owner can enjoy a free hot drink in the restaurant while their dog has a puppuccino, with the purchase of a cake or breakfast roll. Each party will also receive money-off vouchers to redeem in store.

There is also a sniff-ari around the Gailey store which allows dogs to explore their environments with their noses. The dogs set the pace and direction, and there’s plenty for pooches to find and explore with scented baskets and Valentine’s balloons placed around the garden centre.
