Baw Baw Pet Expo coming this April

Published on 06 February 2020

Pet owners, animal enthusiasts and their furry friends are invited to the free and exciting Baw Baw Pet Expo set to take place in Warragul this April.

This expo aims to celebrate all that is great about pets and pet ownership, while providing current information, updates and education on responsible pet ownership and the wellbeing of pets.

Pet owners are encouraged to bring their furry, feathered or scaly friends along to meet other pet lovers in the area and support local businesses holding a market stall on the day. All animals must be safely contained on a leash or appropriate cage. Pet owners are also reminded to bring bags and pick up after their pets.

Expo details

When: 10am - 3pm on Sunday 5 April Where: Burke Street Park, Warragul

The free-entry expo will feature:

Over 30+ market stalls with products for pets, pups and pooches. Come-and-try dog agility equipment. ‘Best trick’ and ‘pet lookalike’ competitions with prizes. Expert showcase of dog obedience and training methods. Fly Ball competition by the Australian Fly Ball Association. Animal stunt show Flipping Disc Dogz as seen on 'Australia’s Got Talent'. Pet experience zone full of toys to play with. Enjoy food trucks and live music all day long.

The first 300 pet owners to arrive on the day will receive a Kong showbag for a donation to selected charities – the CFA and Wildlife Victoria.

The expo hopes to raise over $500 for the CFA for their incredible efforts over the 2019/20 bushfire period. Wildlife Victoria has been inundated with injured animals as a result of the bushfires and need urgent donations. More information about donation will be available on the day.
