The event will take place at Helmingham Hall, near Stowmarket, on Sunday, September 10.
This is one of the biggest events in the Suffolk calendar will give dogs the chance to have their day and raise money for St Elizabeth Hospice charity.
Gladwells Pet & Country Store and Skinners have been announced as headline sponsors for the event.
The sponsors and their four-legged friends recently visited the hospice to meet patients and staff, as well as the charity’s young adult service, Zest, with a host of four-legged friends.
The Gladwells Pet & Country Store team said: "Gladwells are happy to be supporting the event.
As a longstanding Suffolk business, originally started in Copdock, we can't wait to support an event all about the dogs of Suffolk.
"St Elizabeth Hospice is such an amazing charity to support in their takeover of the Suffolk Dog Day event this year.
They provide vital services to the area, and we are honoured to be supporting their important work."
