The much-loved Woofstock 2025 Dubai festival is returning to Dubai Islands Beach on 22–23 November 2025. The festival will bring together thousands of dog lovers, families, and pet parents for an unforgettable weekend of fun. This is the UAE’s largest dog-friendly event, promising a blend of education, entertainment, and an opportunity to connect with fellow pet enthusiasts.
Woofstock 2025 Dubai: A Festival with Purpose
Woofstock 2025 dubai isn’t just about having fun; it’s a festival with a cause. Every dog attending the event undergoes a brief entrance assessment to ensure their safety and comfort during the festivities. Based on the results, dogs are given color-coded leash sleeves, signifying their sociability. For example: green for “come say hi,” orange for “approach with care,” and red for “needs space.”
A key aspect of Woofstock is its support for local rescue organizations. Proceeds from the assessment fees are donated to UAE-based rescue groups. These donations directly benefit animals in need, helping with vet bills and food for rescued pets.
Workshops, Demonstrations, and Rescue Meet-and-Greets
Across the two-day event, Woofstock will host a wide range of interactive workshops, demonstrations, and activities led by pet-care professionals. The workshops aim to educate pet owners on essential topics ranging from pet nutrition and hygiene to dog first aid and training.
