Pooches on parade treat at Expo

WITH 30 entrants parading to win one of three great prizes, Lidcombe Shopping Centre’s Pet Expo held earlier this month left shoppers feeling all warm and fuzzy.

Winners were judged based on outfit, overall presentation and how the crowd responded to their ‘aw’ factor.
The first prize of a Kazoo Coat and $150 gift voucher from Best Friends Pets, went to ‘Milo’ (a Bichon Frise) and owner Kaiju; second prize of two weeks’ free membership, free gloves and wraps from 12RNDS Fitness, went to ‘Peanut’ (a Mini Dachshund) and owner Natalie; and third prize of a $100 Rashays gift voucher went to ‘Barry’ (a Shmoodle – toy poodle and Maltese shih tzu cross) and owner Mylee.
The day also included free puppuccinos from Leaf Café, free face painting and animal balloons; Nova Casanovas handing out free merchandise and live feeds back to the radio and free showbags with Lidcombe Shopping Centre-branded tennis balls, dog leads, dog ‘poo’ bags, water and retailer offers.
Completing the action on the day, participants were treated to an agility course, dog lotto, free nail clipping and ‘meet the vet’ with Best Friends Pets plus dog biscuit decorating for the kids to make and give to their pets.
“It was such a fun day for everyone and also included the latest and greatest from pet suppliers Big Dog Pet Foods, Advocate, Ziwi Peak, Steph & Joe Art Co, Kazoo Pet Co and Jack Russell Rescue,” a spokesperson said.
