Don't Miss Pets in the Park at Bergfeld Park in Tyler, TX

The Pets in the Park event put on by the Pets Fur People organization in Tyler, TX each year and I am so excited that it’s coming up on Saturday. We all know that pet overpopulation is a serious problem, especially here in East Texas which is why we need to support these animal shelters as much as possible. The Pets in the Park event is free to attend and it’s a lot of fun for the entire family including your furry family members.

You’re encouraged to join in on the fun this Saturday, October 1st at Bergfeld Park beginning at 10:00am but you can stop by any time before 3pm. There will be a variety of events throughout the day and you won’t want to miss out on all the pet friendly vendors that will be offering all types of goodies for the pets in your life. Plus, for kids there will be bounce houses set up, face painting, and a children’s craft station.

Pets in the Park Events You Won’t Want to Miss

There will be pet contests, so if your pets will wear a costume there are some chances to win great prizes. You cannot miss out on the always popular Weiner dog races; they are so much fun to watch. Also, at the Pets in the Park event there will be microchipping available for $25 and nail trims for $10.

Just a Few Rules for Pets to Attend

We encourage all pets to attend but their rabies vaccination is required, owners must pick up after their pets, we ask that they are on a leash and have good social manners. Cats are welcome to attend but with so many dogs in attendance they are attending at their own risk. The event is being sponsored by Pet Supplies Plus, we hope to see you on Saturday!

LOOK: Here are the pets banned in each state

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.
