America's Family Pet Expo and Giveaway!

The family and I have attended America's Family Pet Expo almost every year. We always have a graet time and we are excited to head back this year.

America's Family Pet Expo is touted as the world’s largest pet and pet product expo with more than 1,000 animals including dogs, cats, birds, fish, llamas, pot-bellied pigs, reptiles, miniature horses and more on display in stage shows, competitions and demonstrations. Pet products, animal experts, pet adoptions, hands-on petting and learning opportunities are also featured.

My kiddos had a great time being able to pet dozens of furry friends and learning all about them.

The Pet Expo will be coming to the OC Fairgrounds from April 16th-18th.

I have a family 4 pack of tickets to give away. All you have to do is leave a comment and let me know why you would want to go. That's it! You have until next Tuesday to enter. For additional entries become a fan on facebook, twitter or follow the blog.

Good luck!

I am a huge pet lover. Have always wanted a pot bellied big. I have rescued almost all of the dogs that I have had. It makes me feel good to give a very good home to a much deserved animal. My pets are a big part of our family. They are my babies. I have always wanted to go to a pet espo but wither have been busy at the time or did not have any money. My son will have a blast and so will my parents. They love animals almost as much as my son and myself.

We LOVE animals, but we don't have any pets right now!! We'd love to go!!

Michelle said...

I absolutely have to take my daughter!!! She's been trying to convince me to get a dog and has been on pet finder for the last few days looking at tons and tons of dogs. She'll love this....but it might get me in some trouble :)

Adele said...

We are all animal lovers in our family. In fact, the pets outnumber the people 2 to 1. Last December we adopted an angora rabbit from the animal shelter. He came to us with mats and I am still having trouble getting them out. If we win tickets to the pet expo, I am sure I can finally find somebody who can give us advice so that our beloved Duster will be more comfortable.

My son is 2 and we take him to PetSmart and the Fish Store ALL the time. We don't have any pets yet so we just love to go and look around. I think he would LOVE to go.

Our family would love to go to the pet expo! My daughter is 3 and absolutely loves animals!!! Recently funds have been tight, so its been hard to find things to do as a family that we can afford. It would be awesome to spend time as a family doing something we all love.

My two year old LOVES animals, and we're planning to adopt a kitty soon. Seems like the perfect place to do just that.

We lost our family dog about a year ago. My daughter misses her so much. We would love to take her to the fair to see if we can find another dog for her.

Last weekend there was a mini-petting zoo set up in a local parking lot. When we found it it was way past nap time so we didn't stop. When we went back, it was gone. My 14 month old daugther loves animals and I would am going to enjoy taking her to this so she sees a real petting zoo! Thanks for posting about it - would have never known about it otherwise.

amanda said...

I would love to take our 3 kids. We have never been to it. Your review sounds like it would be a blast! I bet you had fun! We love animals and love to donate our time when possible at the shelters. I follow your blog, twitter and facebook. You could say I am a huge fan!

I would love a chance at this pet expo. I'm a huge pet lover and have been considering getting a pet for my daughter. This would definitely be a good place to get questions and concerns answered.

Mrs Jones said...

We would love to go to celebrate all the animals and possibly find a cat to adopt! :))

My husband and I plus my Mom and Dad go every year to this. We have 2 dogs and my parents have a dog and a cat. My dog are like my babies at the moment and I'd love to win these tickets so I can spend more money there at the expo. Awesome giveaway!

Unknown said...

My children love all sorts of animals, especially my 5 yr old daughter. Unfortunately we are not allowed to have pets where we live so this is going to be very exciting for them! Can't wait!!

Patty Moreno said...

I'd love to take my cousins to see this event. They are 12 years old and aspire to become a veterinarians!

rebeckynelson said...

I would LOVE to attend the Pet Expo this year because my kids are driving me crazy, I am running out of things to do to entertain them and they tend to act like wild animals when they get bored.....they will fit right in! ;o) Thanks!!!!

ihearthellokitty said...

My boyfriend and I love animals:D We would love to go and interact with all the animals that will be there and definitely learn more about them!

RJRosas said...

I think we are gonna head out to this one! Dad will be home and my daughter loves dogs but can't have one because we have a crazy cat! Hopefully she'll get her fix this way! ;)

Thanks for the info! :)

Dove said...

We would LOVE to go to the Pet Expo this year....went a couple years back and my 9 year old still talks about watching the dogs leaping into the swimming pool after tennis balls....some of them made it over 20 feet before hitting the water! It was amazing...actually worth the price of admission in itself because it just made him laugh and laugh. It never got old. He is a huge dog lover...his whole bedroom has been dog themed since he was 3. I ask every year if he wants to change it and he always says no. It would be a true treat to take him this year because the icky economy has forced us to cut down on all those fun little weekend activities we used to enjoy once upon a time. :)

My kids are pet-crazy, but of course we don't have any! They would be thrilled! We'd love to go!

Roshelle said...

Was so excited to see this Pet Expo is coming. Looking for a new family pet for the kids! They would be so excited to see all the animals. It would really make their day :)
