Pet Expo

Council’s much-loved, long-running Nillumbik Pet Expo is back!

Packed with fun for the whole family, the event will feature loads of fun and activities to celebrate your pets.

There will be a Vision Australia puppy performance, help with barking dogs courtesy of Leading the Hounds, and a range of rescue organisations on-site. See the full program below.

Craig Huggins from GOLD 104.3FM will be our event MC.

Plus, there will be face painting, pony rides, bubble games, kids’ activities, food and retail stalls, and entertainment.

Enter your pet into one of our competitions, with prizes for:

• Best trick

• Best pet/owner lookalike
• Most unique pet
• Crowd favourite pet

Our Community Safety team will also be available to answer questions, provide free goodie bags, and help with pet registration.
