Before you head over…
All pets will need to have their passports and vaccination report. They will also undergo a temperament assessment to see if they are a good boy or girl before they enter the venue. A red, yellow or green ribbon will be attached to their harness or collar which must be worn at all times inside the venue. Dogs will have to be on a leash at all times (no extendable leashes allowed).
The pet festival opens its doors to more than just dogs, so cats are welcomed too but in a cat carrier.
