SPONSORS
Promoting responsible pet ownership!
The Dachshund Club of America opposes dachshund races, not only on the grounds that the breed has a genetic predisposition to back injuries, but also because they
are afraid that greyhound or horse tracks will use the events to attract potential customers to see a sport that many animal rights advocates condemn. Please note
that the Wiener Race at Pet Fest is not held as a competitive sport, is not held on a race track and is so short, you'll miss it if you blink. Prizes for all entrants are
generously donated by Hills, Science Diet and PetSmart. Pet Fest supports the humane treatment of all animals and does not endorse dog racing for sport.
You don't need to have a pet
related business to participate
in Pet Fest. If you want to
reach the pet loving public
while they're enjoying a
fun-filled day - Pet Fest is the
place to be!
