The World of Pets, This Weekend!


Maryland’s own World of Pets!

This weekend: Friday; Saturday and Sunday, all day. January 25, 26 and 27.
Don’t want to spend another boring weekend this weekend? Then take the whole family to the World of Pets at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, just north of the Baltimore beltway. Fido, included (optional for him). Kids have a ball.
The World of Pets: Where Education is Fun, and Tasty, too!
It is like hanging out at the state fair in winter, with food galore, dog agility,  and shopping for dog treats, cats, ferrets, birds, reptiles, gerbils, and guinea pigs.
The 18th annual pet expo this year, as last year, features Dock Diving for Dogs, the newest dog sport and fun for everyone. Cheer on your favorite canine competitor.  Some of them even wear swimsuits!

Even the videos on YouTube are fun!
Agility trials will also take place all three days here and at the Westminster Kennel Club show in New York City in February (where All-American dogs will compete too), so, get a leg up and learn all about agility. This is the sport where dogs run through tunnels, jump on tables and lie down, race over an A-frame, weave through poles and even high jump – all for the best time – and have fun doing it.
Shopping Extravaganza and Continuous Entertainment
Everyone's favorite, Dog is Good will be there with their new designs**.
Need a new dog leash, collar, coat, dogbed*, antler (to chew), or toy? Or a gnawler? Or even a dog? The Maryland SPCA will be there. So will Pinups for Pitbulls. Dog rescues and shelters will be there, too. Pet a greyhound, pet a golden.

Want to learn more about rats and rabbits or tutles? By the way, what’s a cavy? What’s a sugar glider?
Experience a rainforest. Indoors!
Dog Tricks. Parrot training demos. Pet and Owner Talent and Beauty Contest. Parade of Breeds. gerbils, Guinea Pigs and a petting zoo.
Artwork by Pets on a Palette -  your pet’s portrait with personality.
