To every wagging tail, gentle purr, brave parrot, and devoted pet parent across the National Capital Region — you made this year's Ottawa Pet Expo something truly special. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Two full days of agility, lure courses, TICA cat shows, live grooming championships & 200+ Canadian pet brands — we can't wait to do it all again.
The Ottawa Pet Expo only happens because of the independent, Canadian-owned businesses that show up for our community year-round. Between now and October 16–17, 2027, please keep your dollars close to home and visit the wonderful folks who made this year possible.
