Well, I'll be dog-gone. Is it time for the annual Southwest Louisiana Pet Expo already? Yea! Whether you have a longtime furry companion or a new four-legged family member, this is an excellent way to spend the day. The 2024 Pet Expo will be on Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm at the Burton Coliseum Complex, at 7001 Gulf Hwy. in Lake Charles.
What Type Of Things I Will Find At A Pet Expo?
If you've never attended a Pet Expo, think of it like a pet store on steroids. There will be vendors from far and wide selling a wide range of products, accessories, grooming items, health and wellness products, toys of every shape and color, pet clothes, bedding, and much more. Of course, there can't be a pet expo, without an option for families to adopt a pet in need of love and a forever home.
In addition to a day of shopping for your furbaby, you may see vendors that offer various other services and resources such as training, pet insurance, grooming, daycare, or special services for pets with disabilities.
