If your family includes a four legged companion, it’s time to leap into action this weekend.

The celebration of all things canine is to return to the Kent Showground in Detling, near Maidstone, on Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15.

Thousands of dogs are set to bring their owners along for the autumn show, now in its 13th year.

The show has been known to attract more than 10,000 people - and 10,000 dogs - for pet-related fun.

There will be masses of have a go activities including the Dogstable Course, Temptation Alley, terrier racing, plus non-stop arena entertainment from Conquest K9 display team, gun dog and agility displays.

One of the most popular attractions, the K9 Aquazone will be bringing Dash n' Splash! for brave dogs to try some doggy water sports.

See how far your dog can jump into the water, it’s fast and fun... but prepare to get wet (and that includes spectators).

Visitors can also compete in the Companion Dog Show, Flyball and Agility competitions or enjoy the shopping at a range of indoor and outdoor trade stands.

The show is open from 9.30am to 5pm both days. Visitors can also camp on site. Tickets cost £10 for adults, £7.50 for children from age three to 15. Tickets are subject to a booking fee.
