On October 3rd, 2025, Hilton Dublin Kilmainham once again opened its doors to some very special guests: pets and their proud owners. The hotel’s annual Pet Day has quickly become a beloved tradition, celebrating Hilton’s commitment to creating inclusive, memorable experiences for both people and their furry companions.
This year’s event was a resounding success, attracting pet lovers from across Dublin. Guests and their four-legged friends enjoyed the day filled with treats, entertainment, expert advice, and charitable giving – all in support of the DSPCA, the event’s primary charity partner.
Community, care and companionship
Highlights of the day included complimentary pet health check-ups and screenings carried out by Village Vets, who also offered a special prize of a free annual pet health plan to one lucky attendee.
UCD Vet Clinic were present to spread awareness about canine blood donation, educating owners on its importance and helping sign up interested pets.

Delighted pets enjoyed pampering sessions that had tails wagging all afternoon with grooming and beautification by Woofglam, while Woofland joined to promote their dog playgrounds, offering a complimentary group voucher for up to six pets redeemable at any of their locations.
Healthy food bowls prepared by Hilton’s kitchen team, ensuring every pet enjoyed a gourmet treat of their own, while food, refreshments, and ice creams were served throughout the afternoon, making it a festive day for all attendees. Nutritional supplements were provided by Blue Pet Co., with gift boxes distributed to every pet on departure – a thoughtful and healthy takeaway.
Raffle prizes that included luxury stays and dining experiences at Hilton Dublin Kilmainham, adding an extra touch of excitement for guests, and a donation drive for the DSPCA raised nearly double last year’s total, with Hilton Dublin Kilmainham pledging to match the amount raised in support of the charity’s incredible work.
A Hilton tradition of pet-friendly hospitality
Speaking after the event, Kevin Brennan, general manager, said: “At Hilton Dublin Kilmainham, we see pets as part of the family. Our Pet Day is about celebrating that bond, while also supporting the amazing work of the DSPCA and our fantastic partners. It’s been heartwarming to see the smiles on our guests’ faces – both human and animal!”
The event was part of Hilton’s wider Travel with Purpose initiative, reflecting the hotel’s commitment to sustainable and community-focused hospitality.
