THE THEMES

2004

The theme in year 2004 was “Doing it the Hawaiian Style” where participants donned the Hawaiian outfits whilst enjoying a relaxing beautiful Hawaiian environment.


2005

In year 2005, the theme was “Who Let The Dogs Out?” Everyone joined in the fun by coming in casual, comfortable, and colourful western-style outfits and experienced an exciting Wild Wild West environment right in the middle of UPM.


2006

The theme for year 2006 was “PIRATES-All Paws on Deck”.
The beautiful grounds of UPM were transformed into the mystical sea and land of the Pirates which included Buried Treasure, Water Lagoons, and Cutthroat Island! It coincided with Dogathon's 10th anniversary and was a great success where more than 2000 people came with 700++ dogs!


2007

In 2007, the theme was
“KINGS AND CASTLES-A Loyal Dog is A Royal Dog”
- where the ground of UPM's Bukit Ekspo was livened up with a grand atmosphere where dogs were given the royal treatment by their owners in this fairy-tale like event.


2008

The theme for year 2008 was “AEROSPACE - Astronaut, Asteroid, Astrodogs Woof Off!!!”. In 2007 we had the first Malaysian to go into space – hence in 2008 we successfully broke the record of “BIGGEST DOG GATHERING IN MALAYSIA” in the MALAYSIAN BOOK OF RECORDS by gathering a total of 611 dogs!!!


2009

The theme for last year was
“CARNIVALE CANINE-Tails Up... It's Show Time!!!”.
Dressed up in funny clown costumes, our furry friends and owners had a fun parade in a carnivale & fun fair atmosphere at Bukit Ekspo.
It was a great success - 800+ dogs came to Dogathon™ 2009!


2010

Together with the mysterious theme of Ancient Egypt,
Dogathon™ 2010 aims to bring you even more fun and excitement.  
Expect the unexpected in this year Dogathon with bundles of new fun filled games, goody bags and free merchandise up for grabs.
This is a chance of a lifetime to give your furry friends
a goody doggy dog fun day!
