Save the date! Dogs Unite for Guide Dogs, London, Saturday 14 June

Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s main event on Saturday 14 June. It’s going to be the biggest day of furry, family-friendly fun London has ever seen!

So dust off those walking shoes, get your team and sponsorship together, make sure you have this foldout, wristband and walk number to hand, and fly straight to the registration tent.

Please make sure that your dog is on the lead throughout the day, that they’ve been vaccinated and that you remember your walk start time!

And remember: dogs and children aged 12 and under when accompanied by an adult go free.
