All kennels were then auctioned at the event by Bonhams raising funds for Goodwoof’s 2025 charity partner, Wild at Heart Foundation to help them compassionately reduce the world’s stray dog population and educate communities about dog welfare issues.
Elsewhere, the Goodwoof High Street was thronged as visitors beat a path to the exciting Dog Hotel, presented by global favourites, Jellycat, as well as Goodwoof’s very own pop-up Fortnum & Mason branch, beautiful flowers from Wild at Heart and a super popular pampering parlour expertly managed by King’s Road grooming cognoscenti, Love My Human Townhouse.

Out of the woodland, Fortnum & Mason provided picnics and feasts and there was a wide range of food outlets to suit any palate dotted around the showground.
The Taittinger Champagne Bar bustled throughout the day as did the canine visitors’ favourite meet up spot, Fido’s Lido, presented by LeShuttle, where hot dogs took a cooling dip before heading for the oasis of calm, the Randox Health Studio for a spot of doga or massage.
Overall, the sight of happy dogs strolling (or often being carried) back to their cars at the end of another Goodwoof day, together with the money raised for charity and a wonderfully enjoyable dog-centred day, with something for everyone included, made sure that visitors – both two and four-legged, had enjoyed a Goodwoof to remember.
