Athletic dogs battle it out in canine Olympics

- The High Jump Championsh­ip.

The BCC Hall on the 5th floor of CentralPla­za Lardprao will be transforme­d into a mini war zone for four-legged rabble-rousers during the “Pet Expo Championsh­ip 2018”, which will kick off this Thursday and run until Sunday from 10am to 8pm.

Held under the “Friends’ Battle Fun” theme by NCC Exhibition Organizer, the four-day event will feature four major competitio­ns conducted according to internatio­nal standards on the weekend. This is the first time the official “FlyBall Championsh­ip” will be held, in which dogs race each other and jump across obstacles to get the ball and bring it back to the starting line.

There will also be a “Dog Agility Championsh­ip”, which involves 10 devices, the “High Jump Championsh­ip” where dogs will have to jump above a cross bar that will get higher with each round, and the “ZigZag Championsh­ip”, which requires them to run along posts erected in a zigzag pattern.

Amusing games for both canines and their owners will include “dog collecting a ball”, “dog staying still”, obstacle races, magic carpet, and “fun with four-legged friends” games.

Other pet zones will see a display of various species of furry rabbits, cavies and chinchilla­s, as well as rodent competitio­ns. Exotic pets will also be showcased with experts on hand to offer advice.

Thonglor Pet Hospital and Rattanatib­eth Referral Animal Hospital will provide free health check-up and counsellin­g services for dogs, cats, rodents and exotic pets. More than 130 shops will also be there to present special offers on a variety of products and services for pets.
