Inquisitive and pet-loving children will welcome a visit to the 22nd Super Pet Expo. Kids can bring their dogs to watch a comedy show, check out the latest in dog fashion, watch their pup run in races and for doggie enrichment, there’s lure coursing.
Children can also visit Repticon and learn all about reptiles and how to best care for their animal friends.
The kids are invited to bring pets with unique talent from dogs and ferrets to rats and birds to meet Hollywood’s trainer of pet stars for tips and an audition.
They will join thousands of pet devotees who will enjoy the expertise of 100 exhibitors addressing pet adoption, pet care and health, grooming, food and daycare. An exceptional array of creative pet gifts, treats, fashion, grooming accessories and toys will be for sale at the largest pet shopping extravaganza on the East Coast.
New this year:
Dexter the Dog is a 7-year-old Brittany Spaniel from Ouray, Colorado, who taught himself to walk on his two back feet after losing a leg and weakening another in an accident when he was a puppy.  He’s a social media star who has inspired many to overcome disabilities.
And pets and owners are invited to join the laughter from Must Love Dogs and Comedy where co-founders Jolie Dudley and Nicholas Polanco create joyfully chaotic events. They simultaneously raise funds for animal rescue and wellness organizations while providing a platform for underrepresented performers.
The well-dressed pet won’t want to miss Celebrity Catwalk, where pooches strut their stuff dressed in fashions by top designers for couture-loving canines to wear from weekends to weddings.
Pawsitively FAMOUS Animal Talent Agency & Podcast’s Dawn Wolfe, trainer of Hollywood pet stars, invites visitors to bring their dog, cat, ferret, rat or bird with unique talent for an audition. She’ll share some secrets too.
Favorite returning features include:
Performing celebrity dogs whom visitors will recognize from national commercials and feature films, including members of champion stunt dog trainer Chrissy Joy’s Bone-A-Fied Talent Group. They’ll show off their Frisbee skills and tricks and demonstrate a toss-and-fetch event—part gymnastics and part Ultimate Frisbee for dogs. Chrissy Joy will do several presentations, with tips on how to get canines involved in show business.
