Animal lovers have another reason to look forward to the upcoming Pet Expo 2017, with this year’s event returning with a renewed focus on animal welfare.
Taking place from 14 to 16 April at the Singapore Expo, the fourth edition of the Pet Expo will be the largest yet. Visitors can look forward to adoption and donation drives and indulge in retail therapy with over 80 participating brands. There’s also a range of fun activities, catered towards both human and animal participants.
Here are some highlights you can look forward to:

All pets – with the exception of birds and fishes – are eligible for the free check up, and consultation is limited to one pet per owner.

Where: Aqua Zone, Singapore Expo Hall 7
Fish owners can also look forward to this year’s Pet Expo, because the event is hosting a number of fish competitions for the first time. Owners can get to know and feel some of their favourite marine animals and learn how to take better care of their aquatic pets at the Interactive Aqua Zone.
Unadoptables by Joyous bArk
When: 15 April, 1pm to 1.45pm
Where: Stage Area, Singapore Expo Hall 7
Animal welfare group Joyous bArk will be holding an adoption drive to help rehabilitate and rehome ‘unadoptable’ dogs – dogs that are older or have medical or behavioural issues – at the Pet Expo 2017.
Get to know these ‘unadoptables’ better and maybe even give them a second chance at a loving home. Other animal welfare organisations such as LostPaws Singapore, Oasis Second Chance Animal Shelter and Purely Adoptions – as well as the AVA – will also be holding adoption drives at the Pet Expo.
Tickets for Pet Expo 2017 cost $5 for a one day pass and $12 for a three-day pass, and can be purchased on online. Visitors who purchase their tickets via the POCCA app will enjoy $1 off each ticket.
