Catoro Cat World
Cat World will be the first hands-on interactive cat experience at the Pet Lover Show! Journey into the magical 10,000 sq. ft pop-up, grab a bubble tea or snack and relax with some adorable rescue cats and kittens that are in need of their forever homes. Studies have shown that spending quality time with animals can be a great way to de-stress and unwind and can help promote positive mental health and wellness.
President’s Choice SuperDog Star Search
Calling all aspiring superstars: it’s your time to shine. Back this year by popular demand, the President’s Choice SuperDogs will be auditioning talented dogs and their owners for a chance to perform with them next summer at the 2020 PNE Fair! It’s important to note that the application process is a little different this year. Instead of accepting audition videos before the Show, as we’ve done in year’s past, we’re inviting you to bring your amazing dog to audition on-site. As we’re expecting a large number of excited applicants, we recommend that you come early to ensure your pup gets the chance to show off their skills!
Nathan’s Super Hero Books
Accomplished Teen author Nathan McTaggart will be selling copies of his latest book, Brandy and Her Super Hero, to benefit charity! His latest work was inspired by the 2017 BC wildfires and the brave men and women from around the world who come together to keep our communities safe when there is a natural disaster. Part of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Pacific Assistance Dogs Society and Firefighters Without Borders Canada.
Rabbit Agility
These bunnies mean business! Come check out some amazing rabbits as they show off their agility skills. Animal agility (dog, rabbit or other) involves a course of equipment in a ring that an animal will manoeuvre over, under, around and through in a timed event. The animal that completes the course with the fastest time and without upsetting the equipment wins.
Lure Course
Gotta go fast! Coursing gives dogs an outlet to burn their boundless energy, but it’s also a lot of fun! If your dog likes to chase balls, they’ll most likely love lure coursing. Your well-behaved dog is welcome to take a spin through our famous Lure Course, where they will be able to chase a tantalizing lure surely getting your pooch’s heart rate up!
Bird Lovers
See owls and raptors up close! The staff from the O.W.L Society will amaze and educate people on how to prevent avoidable dangers to birds and other wildlife.
The B.C. Exotic Bird Society will be premiering the Indonesian Parrot Project documentary during their exhibit at the Show. The film showcases the history and current work of Indonesian Parrot Project, the challenges of parrot conservation in Indonesia, and the importance of protecting parrots as a flagship species. The B.C. Exotic Bird Society booth will also feature different species of parrots, to help educate families on parrot ownership and husbandry.
