"At Ireland’s Family Pet Expo we emphasize the importance of responsible pet care of a wide variety of pets, teach the principles of proper pet selection and training, offer a vast array of fine pet products, promote pet adoptions, and help people to better understand and appreciate all the wonderful ways in which pets make our lives better. Join us in our celebration of pets!"

Some of the headline attractions this year include Wooly Ward's Farm, where kids can see and pet animals like bunnies, chickens, goats, pigs and lambs. Kids can also have an animal tattoo painted on. The National Bird of Prey Centre will also be at this year's expo, showcasing and educating members of the public on birds like hawks, eagles, owls, and falcons.
