Pets’ Day Out Classics

This supersized version of Pets’ Day Out featured classic staples such as BirdCraze, where members of the public were allowed to interact with avian friends. Pets and their owners came from all over the island to make new friends, and once again, children learnt basic pet care and responsible pet ownership through role-playing games such as being a junior vet, pet groomer, pet trainer, or pet scholar at the popular Petzmania programme. As usual, adoption drives were also held to find furever homes for adorable critters!

As with every Pets’ Day Out event, the ever-popular free health checkup and microchipping services were made available to all furry friends to promote responsible care for pets!
The two-day extravaganza delighted all who attended, with many contented purrs, full bellies, and wagging tails. If you’re already excited about the next edition of Pets’ Day Out, it’s just around the corner on 16th November at HortPark, held once again in conjunction with Gardeners’ Day Out!
