Health 24/7 – a Dogs Victoria Breeders Education & Health Committee initiative to be run at KCC Park on Friday 24 July 2026.

This event gives Dogs Victoria members the opportunity to have access to book in with veterinary health professionals who will be conducting a range of health testing and services directly from KCC Park in Skye.

 This will enable you to have a ‘one stop shop’ to speak with the professionals about any health concerns with your dog or breed, educate yourself about DNA testing and have access to general services such as vaccinations & microchipping.
