A How, What and Where Show - Places, Products and Services To Know About
Bookmark and Share
Dog shows and pet expos are great places to learn how to interact with your pets in new ways and discover what kind of unusual products, places and services are available that can provide help for you and your pet. I've done the work by sniffing out some unusual and good things to know about when I attended the 2010 International Kennel Club Dog Show in Chicago and the 2010 Chicagoland Family Pet Expo in Arlington Heights. Listen to the interviews and see the photos of what I found out.
