A Pet Party

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

It's the third annual Petpalooza party. Petpalooza is a holiday for all the animals in Virginia. Animals are very welcome of course. This is a great day for the whole family including their pets. Virginia Beach K-9 unit will be the facilitator of the event; they will provide a full day planned activities for the entire participants to enjoy. Petpalooza is a time to have fun and capture some memories with pets.

Petpalooza will feature some demonstrations regarding some pet tricks. Some highlights include dog agility course, an animal behaviorist and a rabies clinic. Also, Pet adoption will also be conducted for pets to find a family of their own, and for families to find an additional member. Fire trucks and many other amenities will be available for the publics comfort and security.

Virginia K-9 wants the public to be more aware of what the event is all about. Organizers believe that the more they educate the public about animal safety the more they can avoid certain diseases. The Petpaloozalongs to strengthen the bond between animals and humans in a certain household. "Pets provide good comfort" some kids would sometimes run to their pets to find some comfort, and companionship, which is why being aware and informed regarding pets should be a part of family activities.

Petpalooza is open to the public and is free of charge. It will be held on an open field to provide better space for the activities of the day. Booths will be displaying different dog and cat accessories; some will be providing cute dog tags and many other paraphernalia. In addition to having petpalooza, the Virginia Beach Animal Control is informing the public that they are extending their kennel hours.

Owning a pet is a major responsibility, for life of another creature is involved. It involves safety and hygiene concern, too. And while each pet needs certain kind of care, there are basic dos and don'ts for all kinds that you should keep in mind and take into considerations. Grownups should always provide supervisions to kids while interacting with pets.
