Eastern Regional Pet Expo  Printer Friendly

Council held its annual Eastern Regional Pet Expo on Sunday 7 April 2013 at Knox Park Reserve on Ferntree Gully Road, Knoxfield.

The aim of the Expo is to promote businesses, organisations and clubs at one event, incorporating all types of animals as pets, with the theme being "Responsible Pet Ownership".

Craig "Huggy" Huggins from Gold 104FM hosted the event letting everyone know what was on and when.


Come speak with the experts

Visitors could speak with local vets, dog trainers, breeders, animal welfare groups, groomers and lots more.

There was a wealth of knowledge and information available to all, visitors could find out which pet best suits their lifestyle, and what is needed to keep them a happy and contented pet.
