Pet Puja: Un-Leash!

[otw_shortcode_info_box border_style=”bordered” css_class=”boxed”]Golden retrievers, Labradors, Beagles, German Shepherds and even Basset hounds, all gathered together for Sri Lanka’s only canine carnival – ‘UNLEASH’ with Shirin Merchant! In the history of Sri Lanka, a fun dog show had never been organised before in Colombo and Kandy and pet parents were eager to have fun with their dogs…[/otw_shortcode_info_box]

There was fun, music, decorations, dogs and over 400 people attending this fabulous event in Colombo!

Dogs played with other dogs, pet-parents socialised, and onlookers watched amazed as children ran around in glee! At the carnival – Unleash – the dogs got to try their skills on the fun agility equipment- jumping over hurdles, crawling through tunnels, weaving between poles and balancing on the dog walk! There were fun games for pet-parents and their dogs to play too – the games ranged from doggy musical chairs to the ice-cream eating contest!

The most popular event of the day, by far, was the Doggy Fancy Dress competition, with over 50 dogs participating in various costumes! We got to meet Doggy Superman, Hawaiian dancers, doggy flower girls and even a doggy court jester!

The talent competition saw dogs and humans shaking a leg on the dance floor to Elvis’ hits and prizes were won by all! The children had a special section all to themselves where they could get their faces painted, jump on the trampoline and even run and play with their dogs! All in all, a fun evening where every dog went home with his tail wagging and the pet-parents with smiles on their faces!
