The Annual Pet Show is a fun family event hosted every year by the Museum of Arts and Sciences’ Museum Guild and Coliseum Northside Hospital. This year it will be held on April 22, 2018, from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Celebrating its 62nd year this year, the Annual Pet Show is the longest running event in the Museum of Arts and Sciences’ history. This event will be located on the front lawn of Coliseum Northside Hospital and is open to the public and free to attend.

Pet show registration begins at 2 p.m., and pet judging starts at 3 p.m. The cost is $2 per pet registered.

Children can show their pets in categories including Best Dressed, Best Behaved, Cutest Walk and Most Unique. Winners from each category will then compete to be named “Best in Show.”

In addition to the pet show, the event will include a presentation by, “The Freedom Fidos,” who will be demonstrating how they train rescue dogs to help war veterans, and a petting zoo with a large variety of animal friends to meet. There will also be various booths from special guests, games, refreshments, and so much more for the whole family to enjoy. Central GA C.A.R.E.S. will be on site offering discount vaccines at their “Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic.” Rabies and Distemper/Parvo shots for dogs will be $12 each. Rabies vaccines for cats will be $12 and FVRCP/FELV vaccines will be $20 each. The Museum is also accepting donations of pet food for animals in need.

This event is proudly sponsored by the Pediatric ER at Coliseum Northside. In the case of rain, the 2018 Pet Show will be canceled and will return next April for the 2019 Pet Show.
