The aim of the event is mostly to promote responsible pet ownership:
“At Ireland’s Family Pet Expo we emphasize the importance of responsible pet care of a wide variety of pets, teach the principles of proper pet selection and training, offer a vast array of fine pet products, promote pet adoptions, and help people to better understand and appreciate all the wonderful ways in which pets make our lives better. Join us in our celebration of pets!”
