Pet-a-Palooza is described by its organizers as “the social event of the year for dogs and their people.” There will be a doggy fashion show, a pie-eating contest for dogs, and several pet exhibitors to check out.
Bring your pup down for brunch, then pose for a picture in the superhero-themed photo booth. There will even be an 80-foot pool party complete with DJ and canine cabanas.

The highlight of the event will be the dog races, with categories including French bulldogs, wieners, and corgis. And for the pups that prefer peace and calm, their owners could sign up for doggy yoga sessions.
Cheer on your favourites and see if they win Best In Show – Snaggle Tooth Showcase.
