Dog-friendly car retailer Motorpoint has made in-car canine safety one of its pet projects as part of its new 2023 partnership with the nation’s favourite festival for dogs and their owners.
The UK’s largest independent retailer of nearly new cars and vans Motorpoint is the official auto brand partner of DogFest and will be at all seven events taking place at some of the most stunning stately homes across the country.
The partnership kicked off recently at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, where thousands of people and their dogs visited Motorpoint’s unique experiential space to enjoy a wide range of fun activities and competitions.
Tess Drew, Festival Director at DogFest said: “After the success of last year’s Motorpoint’s involvement we are absolutely thrilled to have Motorpoint aboard as our official auto sponsor for DogFest 2023. It’s great to have their support and their genuine enthusiasm for all things dogs makes them the pawfect partner.”
Despite all the fun, there was a serious underlying message, with Motorpoint providing owners with top tips on how to keep their furry friends safe and comfortable whilst travelling in a vehicle.
