Pet expo, dogs day out

The ‘must do’ event on every dog-lovers social calendar A Dog’s Life: Pet Expo is rescheduled to take place on Sunday 30 July after high winds prevented the event from going ahead earlier in the year.

The event which has attracted dog and pet-related stallholders is set to provide a fun day out for dog-lovers and their pampered pooches, while raising much needed funds for an important local charity.

Find everything you need to keep your furry friends happy and healthy including nutrition advice, grooming advice, training tips, treats, doggy art, all your favourite accessories and more.

There will be a Best Trick competition and Furry Fashions on the Field with ‘Best Dressed Pooch’ and ‘Best Canine Mini-Me’ categories, judged by local Fashionista Carly Wacker.

There is so much to watch, learn and participate in. Listen to educational guest speakers and panel discussions on main stage, watch training demos and dogs demonstrate their skills in the showcase arena and let your pooch participate in the PTSD Dogs Ball Pit for a chance to win cash prizes sponsored by Bendigo Bank.

The day is a celebration of the special bond between humans and their furry companions – a relationship that can save lives, as charity partner, Angie Weeks from PTSD Dogs Australia, knows only too well.

“PTSD Dogs Australia rescue dogs and train them as Psychiatric Assistance Dogs which are provided at no cost to Veterans and First Responders suffering from PTSD. This event is a major fundraisier for us and the entry fees from the expo go directly towards training our dogs which is life changing and can even be life saving for someone with PTSD,” she explained.

Come down to the Lion’s Park on Gympie Terrace, Noosa River with your pampered pooch for a fun-filled day out, and a celebration of all things canine at the A Dog’s Life: Pet Expo on Sunday 30 July from 9am-3pm at Tewantin Noosa Lion’s Park, Gympie Terrace, Noosaville (Near Pirate Park)

Entry $5 per person / $15 per family. Get your tickets online at www.adogslifepetexpo.com.au or at the gate.
