Successful turnout at the 3rd Salou Pet Friendly Fair with over 200 families attending
Salou. Costa Dorada. 08 November 2026. This Saturday, the Comunitats Autònomes square in Salou was filled with life as it hosted the third edition of the Pet Friendly Fair. The event managed to bring together over 200 families and their dogs for a festive day focused on harmonious coexistence and responsible pet ownership.
Activities kicked off in the morning with a dog training workshop led by Link a Dogs, where attendees learned techniques to improve communication, play, and socialization with their pets. Following this, the festive atmosphere moved to the promenade with a popular walk to the Ponent dog beach, which culminated in hot chocolate and traditional sponge cake (coca) for all participants.
One of the most anticipated and applauded moments was the exhibition by the Salou Local Police Canine Unit, supported by other police units from the region. The dogs, mostly Belgian Malinois, showcased their discipline and the key skills they use in public safety tasks.
The fair featured a wide variety of complementary activities, such as raffles, the presence of various animal welfare organizations (L'Última Llar, Galgos 112, SOS Gats, and Link a Dogs), and children's drawing workshops aimed at raising awareness among the little ones about civic responsibility and hygiene in public spaces.
The mayor of Salou, Pere Granados, accompanied by the Councillor for Animal Welfare, Beatriz Morer, and councillors Júlia Gómez and Hèctor Maiquez, strolled through the venue to learn firsthand about the concerns of pet owners and enjoy the activities.
This initiative, promoted by the Salou City Council's Animal Welfare Department, consolidates the municipality's commitment to fostering an environment of respect and integration for companion animals.
