28th October

Leader Natural Dog Nutrition are delighted to be hosting Madra Monday, as part of Savour Kilkenny. 

It’s no secret we are dog obsessed so, why not have a day that celebrates all things dogs.  

We’ve a fun filled afternoon planned for the whole family with amazing talks, special guests, tasty treats & nibbles to try (dogs only!!) a photobooth, face-painting & balloon making and the main event, the highly anticipated 2024 Leader Dog Show.  

You can also check out the full range of Leader Natural Dog Nutrition food and treats with our experts on hand to answer any questions.  

Madra Monday brought to you by Leader Dog Food is part of Savour Kilkenny Food Festival. As one of Ireland’s favourite food festivals, Savour Kilkenny takes place from 25th - 28th October celebrating the produce, food and culture of Kilkenny and the surrounding rich pasturelands.
