What is TIFF?
TIFF - Toronto International Film Festival - is one of the world’s largest publicly attended film festivals in the world. Founded in 1976, TIFF has grown into one of the most important film festivals in the world and according to Time in 2007, Tiff had “grown from its place as the most influential fall film festival to the most influential film festival, period”.
This year the festival runs from September 8 to September 18 - 11 days of international and Canadian cinema.
The festival is known for regularly welcoming almost half a million attendees, and over 5,000 industry professionals, and for generating “Oscar buzz” - meaning there are plenty of major celebrities, actors, and actresses walking down the red carpets!
What is the Doggos SNIFF Party?
Doggos sniff is an event inspired by the red-carpet events that lead up to a feature film at the Toronto International Film Festival. We wanted to celebrate TIFF with our pup-loving community and showcase our main stars here at Doggos - you! Our community could not have grown and we can not continually run events without our dog-loving fur-iends.
So we’re rolling out our very own red carpet to celebrate our extra special very important pets (and owners!) with all the pomp and circumstance inspired by TIFF’s festival activities.
At Doggos sniff, dog owners and pet pawrents can experience walking down the red carpet with their fur babies, watch a feature film, and enjoy post-film snacks and photo ops!
Here’s How You Can Throw Your Very Own TIFF-Inspired Pup-Friendly Party!
Can’t visit our Doggos SNIFF Party but want to have your own TIFF-inspired pup-friendly party? We got you!
Throw your very own SNIFF party for your friends and your pups in the comfort of your own home! We’ve got all the pawty ideas to make the event super special!
1. Get Your Own Runway
Head on over to your nearest Party City and pick up a Hollywood Red Carpet Runner - make sure to check the labels though!
Party City stocks carpet runners in lengthy 40ft sizes and their smaller, more manageable 15ft sizes.
2. Set a Dress Code
When inviting your friends, remember to set a dress code for the party so they’ll be photo-ready when they walk down the red carpet runway.
3. Make Some Pup-Friendly Mocktails
Champagne? Check! Classy finger food? Check!
But wait - don’t forget to make your pup a fancy mocktail so they can get the VIP experience too! May we recommend making a paw-termelon margarita?
Simply grab a cup of frozen, seedless watermelon cubes, and blend it with 2 tablespoons of coconut milk before serving this sweet, extra-special drink to your very own doggy superstar.
4. Prep the Red Carpet Playlist
Put everyone in the mood for some glam photos with the pawfect playlist to help your friends and guests pose. I 100% recommend checking out our very own sniff pose playlist to help get your own red carpet playlist started.
5. Take-Home Goody Bag
Make the night memorable and fill a take-home goody bag filled with tons of fun products, maybe some doggy toys and snacks! Here are a few ideas of what you can fill in your goody-bag:
- Tennis Balls
- Pup-safe pastries and biscuits
- Dog stickers - you can buy packs of them online on Etsy or Amazon
- Poop bag rolls - because no dog owner can ever have enough poop bag rolls!
6. Award Your Own Custom Doggos' Choice Award
Make it an extra special TIFF-themed party and have your guests vote for their favourite runway pup and award the winner with their very own Paw-ple’s Choice Award!
