MÁLAGA – Larios Centro is once again supporting animal welfare with the second edition of ‘All you need is a dog’, a three-day event taking place from 12 to 14 November, transforming the shopping centre into a meeting point for dog lovers.

Over the three days, visitors will be able to enjoy a special programme of free activities, including creative workshops, live music, showcooking demonstrations and educational activities designed to help people spend quality time with their pets.

Highlights include workshops where participants can personalise dog bandanas and waste bag holders, as well as a live painting session with artist Omar Janaan, who will create personalised portraits of pets. There will also be a showcooking demonstration led by Francisco González Trejo, a veterinarian specialising in animal nutrition, who will share advice on choosing the right diet for dogs.

The programme will also feature the K9 Dog Training School, which will host an educational workshop entitled ‘Héroes de 4 patas’ (Four-Legged Heroes), as well as a new ‘CANcierto’, a musical experience presented by artist Alicia Tamariz and specially adapted to dogs’ hearing sensitivity.

A celebration of responsible pet adoption

The Málaga Society for the Protection of Animals and Plants will once again take part as a partner organisation, with an information stand where visitors can learn more about its work. In addition, a special parade featuring dogs currently looking for a home will take place, helping to raise awareness of responsible pet adoption.

With this second edition, Larios Centro reinforces its commitment to being a pet-friendly shopping destination, offering families in Málaga the opportunity to enjoy unique activities while promoting respect for animals and their well-being.

All activities are free of charge, although some require advance booking. The full programme and registration details are available at www.larioscentro.com.
