It’s a Dog’s Life!

Pups and their pawrents came together to celebrate all things canine and raise much-needed funds for PTSD Dogs Australia. Deb Caruso tells the tail.

It truly was a dog’s day out for the annual A Dog’s Life: Pet Expo on the stunning Noosa River.

Exhibitors and exhibitionists were on display for the always pupular Furry Fashions on the Field hosted by Hello Sunshine Magazine’s Fashion Editor and Furbaby Mumma Carlie Wacker.

With CATegories (sorry!) including Attention to fashion deTAIL; PAWfect Posture; Taking the LEAD in fur kid fashion trends; DOGgone cuteness; and PAWsonality, the PUParazzi and superstar DOGfluencers had a HOWLing good time!

This vibrant event celebrated our furry companions and had plenty on offer to keep them happy and healthy, including displays and demonstrations, nutritional and grooming advice, obedience training, education and more with the latest in training, treats, fashion and trends to be explored.

The Puppy Play Zone was a big hit as were the Training Demonstrations and  SUP and Skimboarding sessions.

The day raised more than $10,000 for PTSD Dogs Australia to help them continue to rescue Veterans and First Responders, we’ll wag our tails to that!
