Programme list

Pet Asia Entrance

The long awaited Pet Asia 2013 is finally here! It's the 4th time this pet and accessories exhibition has been organized. This is the first time it was organized at Marina Bay Sands Expo Hall. We signed up about 1 month before to go as traders, just to have a look and feel of the event. Other than that, we also met and talked to other traders of the pet industry from other parts of the world. There were traders from Japan, Taiwan and also Singapore. The 4 days event was lined up with activities including seminars, DGA grooming certification, dog obedience and agility competitions.

The exhibition was crowded with visitors from all over. There were also parents bringing their kids there though they don't have a pet animal. Some of the booths were decorated nicely with different themes and I heard from an insider that one such booth costs over $X0000! Goodness.... There were alot of visitors who were grabbing goodies from the booths as great deals were given everywhere like the Great Singapore Sale.

The last day of the exhibition ended with the agility competitions. This was a open standard competition and the participants were all by invitation only. It was also the first ever Pet Asia Invitational competition. The dogs were all veterans in the competition arena, having at least won some titles before. It took quite some time for the organizers to set up the ground, and we waited for a good 40 mins before the first dog started. Lucky we were indoors! Usually agility competitions were held outdoors.

There were small, medium and large breed dogs categories. My favorite was the Chihuahua! It was unbelievable that he managed to complete the course with such grace. Everytime he jumped I keep imagining a "bionk" sound in my head. Though there was some hiccups in between, but he was so cute that made everyone smiled. I was actually wondering if our Peanut can do anything like that. Nah.. impossible. He's too fat.

Anyway, above is a video clip of the rundown, hope that you guys enjoy it. Sorry for the shaky hands.. old already...

And finally, we have come to the end of Pet Asia 2013. We were glad to be part of this event. Looking forward to the next one in 2015. Remember the date! See ya!
