City of Whittlesea is hosting its second annual Pet Expo for animal lovers as part of the vibrant Community Festival on March 17.
The pet expo features stalls and performances tailored to all of the community’s pet-related needs, within a 50-meter fenced area of the Community Festival.
Within the hub there will be a range of pet activities and information including dog obedience and training demonstrations, booths supporting pet adoption and connecting residents with local rescue groups, the Pony Pals Playland for children, and an assortment of stallholders.
City of Whittlesea’s Animal Management team will also be on-site to answer inquiries including guidance on pet registration, microchipping, and checks, and strategies for cat management and innovative cat enclosure solutions.
City of Whittlesea chair administrator Lydia Wilson said pets had a crucial role in the lives of the community’s residents, improving wellbeing and taking their place as important members of the family,” she said.
“Our pets are a beloved part of our family, and we know from the positive feedback we received after last year’s inaugural Pet Expo that this feature of our Community Festival is sure to be a popular place for pet lovers.
“In addition to the jam-packed Pet Expo, there is so much to see and do at the Community Festival, from performers live on stage, free family activities and the announcement of the recipients of our Community Awards.”
The Community Festival will be on March 17 from 11am to 5pm at the Civic Centre, South Morang.
