Columbia Treats Unleashed hosts Pet Expo for a Cause
Posted on 09.10.2024Treats Unleashed is hosting its annual Columbia Pet Expo at the Columbia Treats Unleashed store (1400 Forum Blvd. in Columbia, MO) on Saturday, September 28 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
This pet-friendly expo is free to attend and open to all ages. On event day, make your way toward the big-top tent to browse all the wares from different pet-related vendors and sponsors.
Enjoy free samples from multiple fan-favorite pet food brands, stop by educational booths to learn more about area pet resources, grab some baked treats (some for you, some for your pet), browse wares from local pet providers, and more. Don’t forget to swing on by booths from multiple local animal shelters to meet with adoptable pets that would love to find their forever home.
After you finish browsing the tent, make your way to our Activity Zone, where you and your pet can do mess-free paw painting, hit the kissing booth for a photo-op, participate in our annual photo contest, dig for treasure in our sand/ice pools, and more! New to 2024, you and your pet can visit our “Tropiclean Ride the (Scent) Waves Walk”, and sniff each marker along the way to
see what scents get your pup smiling, then find the locally made products that feature those scents.
Finally, don’t forget to hop inside the Treats Unleashed store to take advantage of special, one-day only sales that are exclusive to that location.
The event takes place in conjunction with Neighborhood Pet Store Day to inspire Columbia residents to not only shop local, but to give back to area rescues and causes for pets.
Raffle tickets will be on sale at the event. Each ticket is an entry to win multiple raffle baskets and goodies from the vendors and sponsors. Raffle tickets can be purchased on-site and by clicking HERE to submit your donation and purchase your tickets early. All ticket proceeds from the event will benefit the Central Missouri Humane Society and The Spay Neuter Project.
