Pet Expo 2010

OC Pet Expo 2010

Tomorrow is the start of the the OC Pet Expo 2010 at the fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA. As usual Guide Dogs of America will have a booth. We were all set to volunteer on the first day of the Pet Expo, but we haven’t heard back on what time. So for those of you keeping track we will most likely be a the GDA booth from either 10am-2pm or 2pm-6pm on Friday. Here’s a map of the fairgrounds and the location of the GDA booth:

I believe that’s the same place it’s been for the past few years. If you have a pet or hope to someday have pets I highly recommend visiting the Orange County Pet Expo. If you are at the Pet Expo this Friday then please stop by the Guide Dogs of America booth and say hello.

Every year I get excited when I think about the Orange County Pet Expo. The OC Pet Expo is usually scheduled from Friday to Sunday in the middle of April and this year is no different. In 2010 the Pet Expo in Orange County is going to be held from April 16th to April 18th. Right now it’s only January and I’m already getting excited.

Here’s a look back at some of the articles I wrote on the Orange County Pet Expo over the past few years:

The OC Pet Expo is one of our favorite events and way back in 2006 it was the trigger that got me started on guide dog puppy raising and rescue dog fostering.

We’ve had a ton of fun the past few years at the OC Pet Expo. Back in 2008 Stetson was still a Guide Dog Puppy In Training and was allowed to accompany me into the Pet Expo. I decided last year Derby was a little too young and inexperienced to attend the event.

The exhibitions at the OC Pet Expo are great for the entire family. Last year we watched the Police Dog demonstration, the dog agility relays, Splash Dogs, visited the GDA booth, and the many dogs and dog rescues.

If you’re looking for some of the latest and greatest dog products then look no further than the Orange County Pet Expo. Last year we picked up the Water Rover – Portable Dog Bowl. If you’re looking for a great water bottle slash dog water bowl then check out the Water Rover. We love using it on all of our outings especially on hikes or on our Guide Dog field trips.

Of course, dogs aren’t the only attraction at the OC Pet Expo. There are also cats, birds, fish, snakes, lizards, llamas, ponies, rabbits, and many more.

So, if you’re a pet lover like me than visit the Orange County Pet Expo 2010 this year…you won’t regret that you did!
