The Pet Show Melbourne
Back by popular demand, the event will showcase a multi-zone examination of dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles, and tiny animals.
Overview
Australia's First National Pet Show will return to Melbourne Showgrounds this weekend, promising an even better and larger event. Expect a multi-zone examination of dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles, and tiny animals, as well as over 250 experts and exhibitors.
Managing Director Cameron Just is hoping for large crowds after the show sold out in 2023. "Perfect for those who are already proud pet parents or looking for a new pet but unsure of where to start, The Pet Show is all about education, entertainment and the latest in products for pets from scales to tails and everything in between," he says.
The Pet Show offers the latest goods and professional guidance to inform and amuse existing and potential pet owners. Presenters include Dr Lisa Chimes, a veterinarian and TV host, veterinarian Dr Katrina Warren, wildlife expert Ben Dessen, and Kelly Gill, owner and trainer at the Wonderdogs.
Keep an eye out for the Dog Arena demonstrations, a Scales & Tails touch zone, face painting, food trucks, a kid's agility course, and more. Attendees may also enjoy entertainment from the popular children's show Bluey and Bingo. Wander through exhibitions from organisations including Refuresh, Kitty Rescue Squad Aus, and Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs.
A portion of the online ticket sales will be donated to RSPCA Victoria.
The Pet Show kicks off in Melbourne on Saturday, 12 April and Sunday, 13 April, with daily tickets ranging from $30 per adult to $70 for a family. Later the show makes its way to Adelaide in May, Brisbane in June, and Sydney in November. Stay tuned for more updates.
