From the brand-new Dino-Paws and Dino-mite Party to the much-loved Easter Bunny Breakfast, there are plenty of activities at Dobbies to make this year’s Easter eggs-traordinary.
Dobbies’ Sandyholm store in the Clyde Valley is inviting families and pets to join the Easter fun, with a fantastic selection of events to enjoy.
From the brand-new Dino-Paws and Dino-mite Party to the much-loved Easter Bunny Breakfast, there are plenty of activities at Dobbies to make this year’s Easter eggs-traordinary.
The store is hosting a brand-new event, Dino-Paws, in support of Dogs Trust, taking place on Saturday, April 4 and 11 as well as Sunday, April 12.
Well-behaved dogs are invited along to enjoy a fun-filled event that includes dinosaur themed treats, toys and games with their owners.
Dogs can unleash their inner dinosaur at Dino-paws, with the opportunity to step back in time and enjoy some fossil fun.
The event includes a Dino Dig Site for dogs to sniff, dig and unearth hidden treats, a dino-themed toy, a dog cookie to take home, and a digital photo in front of the dinosaur-themed backdrop taken by a Dobbies’ colleague.
Dogs will also get to take part in a sniff-ari around the store, where they can explore their surroundings and will be guided on a scent adventure. The sniff-ari activity helps dogs decompress, make their own decisions and build confidence, leading to a more content pup.
After taking part in the dino activities, dogs and their owners can enjoy a puppuccino and a hot drink in the dog-friendly restaurant, which is free when owners purchase a slice of cake or breakfast roll.

Tickets for the Dino-Paws event are priced at £15 per dog and the experience is taking place in 50 stores. The Dino Dig is recommended to last ten minutes, followed by the 25-minute sniff-ari.
By joining the event, guests are invited to donate to Dogs Trust’s vital work to provide care, rehabilitate and rehome thousands of dogs each year.
Also new to Dobbies’ Snadyholm store this year is the Dino-mite Party, a dinosaur themed afternoon event for children and families. The party will be filled with fun, prehistoric activities and games, and children will have the opportunity to meet the Dobbies’ dinosaur.
The Dino-mite Party is suited to families with children aged three to 10 years old, and children under three can still take part in some activities with the support of an adult.
