Cool Down Zone

Welcome to the Cool Down Zone, where your furry friends can relax and recharge! Treat your pups to a refreshing oasis with chilled water stations, cozy shaded lounging areas, and interactive cooling activities, ensuring they stay paws-itively cool and content during the festivities.

NEW FOR 2026

We are delighted to welcome Merry People as sponsors of a brand new festival feature…

✨ The Merry People Splash Pool ✨

While our dock-diving daredevils can still make a splash over at P in the Pool, we’re introducing a more relaxed and shallow water experience for dogs who prefer paddling, splashing and cooling at their own pace!

P in the Pool will return this year!

Ready to make a splash? Whether your dog prefers a gentle walk down the ramp or a full speed leap into the pool, P in the Pool is the perfect opportunity to experience this! Our experienced team will be on hand at all times to help build confidence and ensure everyone has fun!

£5 per go - payable by cash or card on the day.

Sessions will operate on a first come, first served basis. Please note queue may be temporarily closed at busy times to allow us to work through demand and help ensure visitors are not waiting for extended periods.

We are delighted to announce P in the Pool this year will be sponsored by Track & Trail Canine Outfitters who are an independent, specialist dog gear shop based in Dumfries.

We asked Amy to tell us a bit about Track & Trail Canine Outfitters and what to expect over the festival weekend so be sure to check them out!

We specialise in gear that’s safe and comfortable for dogs. Every product we stock is hand

selected by us and tried and tested by the team. If we wouldn’t trust it or use it on our own

dogs, we don’t stock it.

We’re official stockists of Ruffwear, Non-stop Dogwear, Twiggy Tags, Sporting Saint, Dog & Field and Acme Whistles.

We hand pick the very best dog gear available to bring you a collection of independently

strength tested leads, collars, harnesses and accessories that are strong, high quality and

suitable for even the strongest and most active dogs.

Our team is nervous and reactive dog friendly - our staff all have experience working with

spicy and nervous dogs (most of us have owned one at some point) and we’re all about

being patient with your dogs, respectful of their needs and giving them the space they need

to feel as comfortable as possible.

At this year’s festival we’ve teamed up with our friends at Ruffwear to sponsor the P in The

Pool area where you’ll be able to try out some of Ruffwear’s new season cooling gear and

life jackets. Over on the stand you’ll find some show-exclusive deals on Ruffwear gear and

some great offers!

We’ll have some competitions and prizes to be won too!

We’re offering our signature harness fitting service - where we help you to find the right

harness for your dog and get them properly measured and fitted in one of our dedicated fitting areas.

We can also help you get measured and fitted for all kinds of great dog gear - from raincoats

to life jackets and even doggy backpacks! Everything you need for safe, non-restrictive

adventures and activities with your dogs!

We’ll have all of our canicross kit too as well as a great range of gundog training dummies.

Amy & the Team - as well as some of the Ruffwear crew - are really looking forward to

meeting you all and seeing some familiar faces again at this year’s P in The Park. Max is

really looking forward to the dock diving for sure!

Come over and have a browse, ask questions, get fitted and don’t forget to take a selfie!
