There will be a variety of vendors including manufacturers, veterinarians, boarding and grooming facilities, rescue groups, retailers and more. Whether you’re looking for the tried and true, the off-the-wall, or anything in between, you’ll find it at the I Love My Dog Expo!
All proceeds from this event benefit Domesti-PUPS, a service organization that provides assistance dogs for persons with disabilities, pet therapy programs, classroom dogs and educational programs. Help us help others while attending this event with your furry friend.
