Great Lakes Pet Expo

The 9th Annual Great Lakes Pet Expo is Coming.

Over 500 of Wisconsin’s furriest residents will strut their stuff and show off their talent at the 9th Annual Great Lakes Pet Expo on Super Bowl Saturday, February 2, 2013. Animal lovers big and small will have a blast at the biggest pre-game party in Southeast Wisconsin.  Come out and cheer on the puppies in the Puppy Bowl.  In the mood for kittens and puppies? A llama or minihorse? Maybe a reptile or two?  Whether you’re looking to interact with hundreds of species or just kick back and watch a parade, the Great Lakes Family Pet Expo offers the best in show for family entertainment.

 

This ninth annual charitable event will be held at the Wisconsin Exposition Center at State Fair Park in West Allis, WI. from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. The Expo will showcase hundreds of exhibits featuring captivating animal acts on the main stage, educational presentations, and hundreds of the newest pet products to hit the market.  Watch local firefighters compete against canine agility stars or kick back and watch the dancing horses.   Interact with over 300 animals available for adoption! The reptile education area provides chills and thrills to those daring enough to enter and interact with snakes, gators, spiders, lizards, and more.   All new in 2013, the Expo features a speed dating area where you can hang out with and meet your future family “mate.”   Visit our New Product Showcase area to view all of the new products offered and enter to win one or all of the products.
