With blue skies and the occasional breeze, the weather seemed perfect for a day out at the beach. Pet owners and their furry friends headed down for some fun in the sun where they got to see, hear and smell (for the dogs, at least) all the excitement and buzz in the air!
?With over 20 booths ranging from the sale of pet products to a ready supply of pet care information provided by the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) and the animal welfare groups, pet owners definitely had lots to explore and buy for their pets!
?At our booth, puzzles and games were laid out for all ages to play! These games contained our RPO messages which meant that participants could have fun while being educated on better pet ownership. We met many people who share a love for pets as well. It was indeed heartening to see many adults and children, especially, wanting their best for their pets by showing a keen interest on learning how to take better care of them!
?
In accordance with the theme of ?Olympics by the Beach?, a line-up of competitions from Champion Catcher to The Sportiest Looking Pair was held for pets and their owners to participate in.
At 11pm, a ready crowd gathered at the stage in anticipation for the first competition to be held that day ? Royal Canin?s Canine High Jump.
?
After many ?oohs and aahs?, it was a red and white border collie who came out tops in the Canine High Jump (?Maxi-dogs category?), where he cleared a 36 inch jump and subsequently took the gold medal in the Champion Catcher competitions.? However in the mini dogs category, Don, a silky terrier cross was a clear winner after clearing a jump of 18 inches!
?The cats were not forgotten at this event!? With a whopping 50 cm measurement, a Scottish-Fold definitely had the most to boast about when he took home the title of ?Most Impressive Feline Chest?. Even the small hamsters had their chance in the spotlight with the ?100cm Sprint? competition where the winning hamster clocked in a 5.41 seconds record!
?However the segment most looked forward to was the ?Sporty Look? competition.? Pets and their owners displayed their creativity as they came dressed in costumes showing their love for sports! Rocky, a Shetland Sheepdog and his owner who were dressed as boxers concluded the round by beating the other good-lookers to taking home the gold medal!
?Despite the two heavy showers that poured over the event, the enthusiasm that filled the place was definitely not dampened. The hustle and bustle continued till 5pm and the event ended on a high with contented pets and proud owners!
