The COVID pandemic has brought many social events to a halt. Amongst them is the annual Pet Fiesta, where thousands of pet lovers from all over Malaysia; predominantly from the State of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, gather at one location to share our appreciation for pets and animals.
In Malaysia, only a handful of places allow pets. Pet Fiesta is one of the two major events held in Malaysia which allows pets to come along and enjoy the day and moment with their human companions, rightfully or legally π (why legally? We have many parks in Malaysia that does not allow pets. It is an illegal act and you will be fined! if caught).
Hence, it is a big deal for us, pet owners and lovers alike, that we are allowed to bring our pets to where we go because of the rules and regulations in Malaysia.
Who can attend Pet Fiesta?
Pet Fiesta is an event that is open to the public. Even if you are not a pet owner, you can simply head over to pat a pet or even get swooned by adorable pets from the shelters that are looking for a forever home; and voila! you are officially a pet ownerπ π #adoptdontshop
Pet shelters will take this opportunity to showcase the animals in need of adoption. This is a great opportunity for us to help another living being and get supplies on the spot (in case, you decided to bring home a companion), socialize with the like-minded, enjoy good food (both humans and animals), etc. all under one roof!ππ

Why attend Pet Fiesta?
Aside from the aforementioned adoption drive from various animal shelters at one location, during the annual Pet Fiesta, various and numerous treats, toys, grooming equipment, bedding, consumables i.e. vitamins/supplements, food, pastry, etc. and all pet-related products and services offer promotions and discounts all under one roof. Many visitors took this opportunity to grab a once a year offer and/or special deals. We did too! woot woot!βπ½
There were two sections, indoor (exhibition area with booths by various vendors) and outdoor(a few tents were set up for all breeds to socialize and chill, notably for the larger breeds due to the ample space, in comparison with the indoor area). Various dog breed communities i.e. the Malaysia Golden Retriever Group, Malaysia Maltese Group, Malaysia Husky Group, etc. will also take this opportunity to gather during this event, where our furkids can socialize. Pets are only allowed indoors if they are in carriers or strollers. Hence, we got Suki the largest trolley we could rent and went in quickly to grab her goodies.
