The event took place in Stowmarket Recreation Ground, next door to Gladwells Pet & Country Store.The weather thankfully held out and we even saw some sunshine.

The show consisted of ten easy and fun classes to compete in with prizes for all winners. There was something for everyone from ‘Cutest Little Spooker’ to ‘Best Gruesome Twosome’!

Gladwells were joined on the day by their friends from all over including food and drink stalls, Paws of Parham, Suffolk Dog School, RSPCA and more!

This event was organised to raise money for the Winston Wheels Charity. Providing Wheelchairs and Strollers for dogs that need help to stay mobile. We are happy to say that £231 was raised for the charity on the day!

Here are a few pictures of the show with some brilliant efforts put in to costumes…

This year Gladwells Pet & Country Stores collected donations for local charities across the country as our Christmas Charity Campaign returned for it’s fifth year in 2024. Customers shopping during the festive season could add £1 to their total when shopping with us in stores. And there was no limit to how many times you could donate!

2024 has been a hard year for many and charities have been hit especially hard with the rising costs involved in keeping a charity’s doors open. Here at Gladwells we wanted to help give something back to our local communities and what better time for a gift than Christmas! 

Customers were generous to give what they could during Christmas, and we are excited to announce that the campaign raised £6588 this year!

A massive thank you to everyone that donated every single pound. 100% of the money raised goes directly to the charities our stores chose to support.

Gladwells Pet & Country Stores were headline sponsors of the event alongside our friends at Skinner’s. As a longstanding Suffolk business, originally started in Copdock, we couldn’t wait to support an event all about the dogs of Suffolk!

On the day there were plenty of fun dog classes with great prizes, agility, dog scurry and lots of attractions and trade stands to keep everyone entertained. Including our Gladwells Pet & Country Store stand! We met loads of lovely dogs and their owners and had plenty of puppy cuddles. Visitors had the chance to win pet goodies on our prize wheel which collected donations in aid of the hospice.

We were also accompanied by The Grooming Salon. The dog grooming salon recently reopened inside our Stowmarket store and was offering services on the day as well as meeting lots of new clients.

Proceeds from Suffolk Dog Day will go towards St Elizabeth Hospice care in Ipswich, East Suffolk & Great Yarmouth and Waveney to continue providing outstanding palliative and end of life care in the local community. The event managed to raise over an amazing £70,000! A brilliant day had by all and an even better total raised for the hospice.
