May I Bring My Pet?
For safety reasons, only well-trained, well-behaved adult pets are allowed to attend the Great Iowa Pet Expo. Please leave your younger pets at home! Puppies will be turned away at the door.
Please make sure your adult pet is on a short leash (6 foot maximum, no retractable leashes.).
All pets are required to be accompanied by a Critter Release Form that you will be required to fill out at the gate. All pets in attendance must be current on shots. Any unruly or threatening pet will be asked to leave. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
