HDP Medical Supplies, the official UK distribution partner of SafeShel, recently attended the prestigious Windsor Championship Dog Show — and brought something new to the ring: the SafeShel emergency shelter.
From Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th June, thousands of visitors, breeders, handlers and dog lovers gathered at one of the UK’s premier dog events. Among the many innovations on display, SafeShel stood out as a versatile inflatable shelter that’s gaining traction — including in the world of dog events and outdoor shows.
A New Kind of Protection for Dogs and Handlers
While SafeShel is widely recognised for its role in supporting first responders, sports clubs, and public events, its use at the Windsor Dog Show highlights a growing interest in the animal care and pet show community.
At multi-day events like Windsor, where dogs and handlers spend long hours on their feet — often in unpredictable UK weather — having a cool, shaded space can make all the difference. SafeShel offers:
- Rapid deployment in under 15 seconds.
- Weatherproof protection from sun, wind, and rain.
- Space for dogs and handlers to rest or cool down between classes.
- Lightweight, portable storage in a backpack.
Visitors to the HDP Medical Supplies stand were impressed by just how quickly SafeShel inflates and how adaptable it is — from canine care to crowd safety and emergency response.
Expanding SafeShel’s Use Across Pet Events in the UK
HDP Medical Supplies’ presence at the Windsor Dog Show marks the beginning of SafeShel’s expansion into more animal-related events across the UK. Organisers and pet professionals alike are recognising the value of having an on-site shelter that can serve many purposes — including providing privacy, dignity, and climate control in unexpected situations.
If you missed the event but are interested in how SafeShel could support your next dog show, pet expo, or training trial, HDP Medical Supplies is happy to offer a demo or more information.
