Amazing Pet Expos

Dallas Pet Expo (6/8) is TODAY | #amazingpetexpo

Written by Rachel Phelps

Note:  Don’t forget when you stop by my booth to say I’m a huge PrestonSpeaks.com fan and I heard about your Kumfy Tailz Harness promotion.  We will give you a free harness valued at $50!  We are giving away Kumfy Tailz cooling harnesses all day on Saturday (limited sizes and colors) to our super fans just like you. Also don’t forget to enter our giveaways including a free nights stay from Red Roof Inn, six months of flea and tick treatment from PetCareRx and a designer pet bed from Enchanted  Home Pet.  We will also be talking from the main stage at 12:45 pm.

Big things happen here.” The official slogan for the city known as The Big D is also an apt description for the Dallas Pet Expo, where pet parents and their pups can enjoy a day devoted to all our furry, finned and feathered friends.

Celebrity Spotting

  • Making a ‘Pit’ stop in Dallas, Animal Planet personality Shorty Rossi (and his canine companion, Hercules!) will welcome attendees to the expo, pose for pictures with Pit Boss fans, and take the stage to talk about the ongoing battle against BSL (Breed Specific Legislation).
  • Doggedly devoted to the welfare of our canine companions for the past two decades, celebrity dog trainer Harrison Forbes will host a pet Q&A session.
  • Stop by and say “Hi!” to DogTipper.com’s Paris Permenter and Rachel Phelps from PrestonSpeaks.com, who will touch on the topic of saving money on your pet care during their 12:45 p.m. on stage discussion.

Activities

  • The idea behind this product is great….design a harness which includes an insertable heating/cooling gel pad to rest up on the dog’s neck and stomach. They have a chart that advised the measurements you need to take to determine the size…the problem is, there is about a 2 inch gap where it is “in between” two sizes…and THAT is exactly where my dog lies. So, on the advice on the web site, we ordered the larger (medium) size, and the product hangs there with a gap that makes it useless. So now what, order the small and see if it’s too tight? I wrote to them, and have had NO response. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
