Puppy Summer Fun Expo

The First-ever grand summer indoor “Puppy Summer Fun Expo” in Hong Kong will be held at AsiaWorld-Arena, from August 13 to 15, with shopping, amusement, parent-child bonding, and charity all in one. Pet owners and their dogs as well as all dog-lovers can enjoy a pleasant and cool weekend together.

The overall carnival will be decorated in tropical Hawaiian style, which covers an area of approximately 11,000 square metres, gathers over 100 exhibition booths including many well-known brands, and provides a diversified one-stop shopping platform for dog owners.

Different from other ordinary pet exhibitions, this expo stands out with a number of large-scale entertainment facilities, such as the first majestic inflatable maze for people and dogs, artificial sand land land “Happy Puppy Desert”, Hawaii-themed “Puppy Welcome Party” and enthusiastic “Camp Fire” photo-taking areas area to name a few.

To mark the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (“SPCA”), “Puppy Summer Fun Expo” is one of its key celebrations. Phoenix Exhibitions will donate a portion of the event income to the only beneficiary SPCA, and join hands with caring owners and their pet dogs to improve animal welfare.
