Dog beauty contests
A total of 3500 dogs from Latvia and abroad will compete for prestigious titles on both days of the International Dog Show. These will include well-known breeds such as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, French Bulldog, etc., as well as many unseen hunting breeds and rarities: German Spaniel, Braque d’Auvergne and Braque du Bourbonnais Bird Hunting dogs, Toy Fox Terriers, Tenterfield Terrier and Continental Bulldog.

The beautiful and noble cats
There will also be plenty to see for cat lovers – more than 400 magnificent pets will be competing for victory! The most widely represented will be the Maine Coon cats. If you are interested in this particular breed, keep an eye out for the Speciality Show on Saturday, 11 March, at 12:30. But there will also be rarities: the beautiful, elegant and sociable Sacred Cats of Burma, the pitch black Bombay cats with copper/gold eyes and the big, powerful Ragdolls with four different coat patterns.

Wide entertainment program
Alongside the dog and cat beauty contests, visitors will also be able to watch exciting demonstrations during both days. Four-legged family pets, dogs, will demonstrate their obedience and agility in displays of agile moves, dancing and breed performance. In addition, for the first time, the dogs will also demonstrate a new sport – nosework (scent recognition). Meanwhile, the beautiful purring cats will show off their fur in the black cat “FUN” show, several specialised shows and even the tortoiseshell-toned cat ladies’ show!

To each their own pet
It’s no secret that many people have chosen a chinchilla, a tortoise or even a reptile as their pet in recent years! Therefore, at Ķīpsala you will be able to see these animals and find out everything about their proper care. Come and learn all about exotic pets!

Ponies, rabbits and birds – for the children’s enjoyment!
We have also thought about the youngest guests of the show, who, after petting the fluffy rabbits and ponies and taking a look at the small rodents and birds, will be able to enjoy various amusements alone or with their parents. The bravest will get the chance to take a ride on one of the ponies of the Mežezeri equestrian club!

Everything for spoiling your pet
At PetExpo 2023, at the zoo industry goods and services exposition, you will be able to buy dog and cat food, treats and vitamins, as well as toys and accessories. Treat your pet! You will also be able to get professional advice on choosing animal feed and genetic testing.
