Thinking About Bringing Your Pet?


If you are planning to come to one of the portrait makers, by all means bring your pet. If not, due to the large number of pets performing in the many demonstrations and seminars, we believe you will have a greater enjoyment of the Expo, if you do not bring your pet. However, well socia liz ed pets, providing they are kept on a leash, are permitted at the World of Pets Expo. Dogs will not be allowed in the Cat Event Area.
