America’s Family Pet Expo, the world’s largest pet and pet product expo, is coming to Puyallup, Washington, July 8-10, 2011. The Pet Expo will host amazing animal performers including horse vaulters, dock diving dogs, creepy crawly critters and more, over an exciting weekend event that’s fun for the whole family.
After 22 successful years in Southern California, the expo expands to Washington to provide a weekend of entertainment, with animal performances, stage shows, shopping and the chance to interact with various breeds of dogs, cats, birds, fish, llamas, reptiles, rabbits and exotic animals. There is also the chance to get up close to some of the animals and hold, learn about and adopt them.
Savvy shoppers will enjoy the Pet Product Shopping Mart, where thousands of pet products from major pet manufacturers and local retailers will be on sale at special show prices. Additionally, a key fixture at America’s Family Pet Expo is the Pet Adoption Fair, where local adoption agencies and rescue organizations will have hundreds of pets available for adoption. VCA Animal Hospitals, pet adoption sponsor, will support the onsite shelter/rescue organizations’ efforts to ensure each adoptee has a healthy start by offering a certificate for a free first exam at one of its hospitals. Whether you’re looking to learn about different dog breeds, adopt a furry friend, ride a pony or get up close and personal with exotic animals, America’s Family Pet Expo promises to be a weekend of educational fun for the entire family.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to Monique.
I went to this once when I was single with a Chihuahua living in Southern California. I found the best dog toy there and haven’t been able to find one like it since! I’ve had two kids and added three cats and an additional Chihuahua since the last time I went. I’d love the chance to take my kids to see the animals, find new toys for the pets and learn about new, green pet products.
would send these to a friend who lives in the area- help her save money
i would have a wonderful memory that would last forever mverno@roadrunner.com

I would love to go. We are looking to adopt a dog and would love a chance to meet some adoptable dogs and see all the other animals as well. My son is also interested in getting a snake and would love to talk to someone who knows reptiles.
