Located in the heart of Brussels, the Clinique Vétérinaire Champ du Roi cares for all companion animals: dogs, cats, and even exotic pets such as small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Open daily by appointment, the clinic also offers a 24/7 emergency service with veterinarians always present on-site. With a team of 40 dedicated professionals (vets and vet assistants), the clinic provides comprehensive care for your animals, whether in cases of emergency, intensive care, imaging, internal medicine, or specialized surgery.

DogConnXion was founded by a child psychiatrist who struggled for years with his dog Winston’s aggression and anxiety. After receiving no results from various trainers, he traveled to Los Angeles to train with Cesar Millan.

Using his unique experience as both a psychiatrist and a dog owner, DogConnXion helps dog owners improve their relationships with their pets, providing in-home consultations and group sessions to address behavioral challenges. At Woofstock, DogConnXion will offer group sessions to demonstrate socialization techniques, as well as tips for creating better communication and harmony with your dog.

Hélène
A third-year psychology student at ULB, Hélène has spent her life navigating the challenges of physical and mental health. While trying to find peace, she discovered that traditional relaxation practices, like solo meditation, often caused her more stress than comfort. This inspired her to create a compassionate, safe space for self-care without the pressures of conventional methods. Thus, Calm Butterfly Studio was born.
Cani’Medi is a mindfulness experience designed to strengthen the bond between humans and their dogs. It includes a short session of relaxation and meditation, offering a secure and welcoming environment for both humans and their four-legged companions.
