Fur, feathers and feline fair

From fluffy felines to dashing dogs, Berwick’s Wilson Botanic Park will be open for local families to show off their pretty pets and meet some new creatures.

To be held from 11am to 2pm, the Pet Expo will include workshops and demonstrations, as well as presentations by the Melbourne Bird Vet Clinic, and RSPCA in collaboration with Zoos Victoria, who will talk about the Safe Cat Safe Wildlife campaign.

There will also be live music by Sage Kelly, a wildlife show, roving performers, food trucks, a sausage sizzle and a coffee van, as well as face painting.

Casey Council active communities manager Angie Peresso said the event will be fun for the whole family.

“We know many of our residents really look forward to the annual Casey Pet Expo,” she said.

“It’s a great opportunity to meet other pet owners, socialise your dogs and chat with stallholders who will be showcasing the latest in pet products.

“There will also be some great presentations on the day, a wildlife show, plus plenty of food and entertainment.”

As on-site parking is limited, a free shuttle service will be running from Federation University to the park between 11am and 2pm.

Safety regulations prevent us from allowing pets and children under seven years on the shuttle.

Visitors are encouraged to drop pets and young children at the drop-off zone in the park with appropriate supervision prior to joining the Park and Ride service.

All furry friends must be on a lead at all times during the event.
