This year’s Hay Bale Races are off to a flying start and we’ve loved meeting all of your four-legged competitors so far.

The Hay Bale Race is one of DogFest’s most popular have-a-go activities and this year it’s sponsored by Book Your Pet.

Book Your Pet – the pet booking software solution making it easier to connect pet owners with their local pet care providers.

The Book Your Pet team will be onsite ready to answer questions throughout the remainder of the DogFest 2023 season. They’ll be talking about how their booking software can simplify the booking process for both pet parents and pet business owners.

If you’re a pet parent looking for a dog walker, sitter, groomer, photographer, boarder, trainer or daycare service, or if you’re a pet business looking to make it easier for clients to book with you, then make sure you stop by to speak to the team.

Where did the idea for Book Your Pet come from?

The idea for the app was born when founders Ralph and Anita were struggling to secure a dog grooming appointment for their two Yorkies, in desperate need of a trim.

When their regular groomer was unavailable and with their fur babies turning into mini woolly mammoths, Ralph and Anita spent the best part of a week Googling, reading reviews, and trying to get hold of people who didn’t call back.
nDid you know, most dogs in the UK require some form of grooming every four to six weeks?

Fed-up and frustrated, Ralph and Anita were left wondering what best to do for their dogs – and that’s when inspiration hit!
nUsing their tech expertise, they decided to build a platform that would simplify the booking process for everyone involved, making it easier for owners to find a reliable pet service near them, and simplifying the way business owner’s operate.
