AUSPET 2018 TO STAMP ITS PAW ON THE GOLD COAST
Announcement posted by AusPet 2018 26 Jul 2018
Pets leave paw prints on everyone’s heart and from October 19 to 21, The Pet Industry Association of Australia (PIAA) will be holding their annual event at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.
AusPet 2018 is the premier public pet expo for lovers of pets of any kind and is part of the prestigious annual conference and trade show for the Australian Pet and Aquatics Industry with major partner Blackhawk.
With an extensive array of entertainment, celebrity appearances, education and information sessions and exhibitors spread over a massive 6,000m2, there’ll be something for everyone.
The expo is not exclusive to traditional pets like dogs and cats. Visitors will be able to look at, touch, hold, pat and cuddle a diverse array of pets including fish, reptiles, guinea pigs, chickens, pigs and more. There’ll even be opportunities over the weekend to adopt a new family member!
AusPet 2018 will be a jam-packed weekend of grooming competitions and workshops, reptile introductions, pet first aid classes and you can even learn how to set up the perfect fish tank.
There’ll also be dog agility, police dogs, snake and reptile shows, face painting, jumping castles and more.
AusPet 2018 is also very proud to have Channel Nine’s Shelley Craft onboard as the expo ambassador who will be making appearances throughout the weekend.
The expo is also not just for human-kind to attend, the event is pet-friendly, and attendees are encouraged to bring their four-legged family members for a $2 donation that will be given to ‘The Sanctuary Women’s Refuge’.
PIAA CEO, Mark Fraser is excited to be bringing the premier pet trade show and expo to the Gold Coast and for the first time, open the program to the public.
“The PIAA are advocates and a voice for responsible pet ownership and we are thrilled we can bring a huge program of shows, demonstrations and activities that is sure to delight the whole community.
“Being able to pat, touch and learn about our animal friends will be a huge drawcard. We are thrilled to be giving visitors the opportunity to meet experts in their fields and learn more about life with pets, no matter their shape, size or species,” said Mark.
More information and tickets are now available online at www.auspet.net.au.
