Now in its third year, the Dog Lovers Show<\/strong> is gracing or rather licking the face of Melbourne<\/strong> between April 29 to May 1 at the Royal Exhibition Building<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After attracting 20,000 doting dog owners in 2014 and 30,000 a year later, the show is looking to celebrate the love for man\u2019s best friend by bringing 500 dogs, 200 exhibitors and various famous vets together in 2016.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Among the likely highlights include: an appearance by TV vet Dr Chris Brown<\/strong>, a tribute to Australian Military Working Dogs<\/strong>, panels on dog health<\/strong> and a Guinness World Record attempt for highest dog jump<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 2014 the show was voted Best Australian Show and Best Consumer Show, so this is one event not to be missed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every man and his dog will be there (literally), although you can\u2019t actually bring your dog along! OH&S issues make that a sad reality.<\/p>\n

Single ticket <\/strong>prices range from $12 to $30 with online ticket purchases cheaper<\/em><\/strong> than buying them on-site.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Melbourne instalment of the Dog Lovers Show is open 9.30am to 5pm across the 29th<\/sup>, 30th<\/sup> and 1st<\/sup> of May. <\/strong><\/p>\n

You can buy tickets right here<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

And never fear Sydney dog lovers, for the show will be licking your wonderful city\u2019s face between August 6-7.<\/p>\n
