The “Pet Expo Thailand 2018” will be packed with a myriad of products, services and activities for pet lovers for four days starting today until Sunday from 10am to 8pm, at all zones of Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, Ratchadaph­isek Road.

Held under the “Pet Sphere” theme, the eighth edition of the expo will gather up to 250 shops, offering everything pet keepers will need, at special prices — from pet foods to supplement­s, coat treatment products to medical supplies, pet apparels to accessorie­s and pet equipment to skill developmen­t tools.

This is also the right place to check out the list of hotels and accommodat­ions across the country that allow companion pets and the list of recommende­d clinics and hospitals for all kinds of pets.

While Royal Canin will offer a healthcare service and nutrition tips for dogs and cats, the Thonglor Pet Hospital will bring a team of expert veterinari­ans to provide health check-ups and vaccinatio­ns for dogs, cats and rodents and Rattanathi­bet Referral Animal Hospital will offer general examinatio­ns and products for pets with specific diseases.

Participat­ing pets will be displayed at three major zones. The “Rodent Zone” will see Czech Frosty rabbit, cavy guinea pigs and prairie dogs; the “Exotic Pet Zone” will introduce luminous scorpions, rare snakes, a giant tortoise, eclectus parrots, bearded dragons, a desert fox, capybara and silkie rooster; and the “Clever Pet Zone” will delight visitors with the appearance­s of sun conure parrots, Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs, meerkats, raccoons and Macaws.

Besides fun games and competitio­ns, there will also be a dog agility show on Saturday at 3.30pm, followed by a mini concert by Bright AF9 on at 5pm and a dog fashion show on the theme “Space” by Thonglor Pet Hospital on Sunday at 3pm.
