All of these events have been run very successfully during past National Pet Weeks. It doesn't matter how big or small your event is. Choose one that fits in with the amount of time, energy and resources you are able to dedicate to it. However, make sure that you are promoting at least one of the aims of National Pet Week. All events can be run by one or a group of organisations.
Events can either be charity fund-raising or proceeds can be used to cover costs.
Pet shows can be judged with prizes or purely educational giving the public the chance to learn about pets. Animal Shows may need the approval of the relevant governing body, i.e. Dog Shows should be run under Kennel Club rules. Contact Floss for further details.
