Austin Pet Expo - Participant Feedback
This was our first time as an exhibitor. We had a great turn out. A lot of opportunity to connect with pet owners and educate them. Can’t wait till next year! 
North Austin Animal Hospital
Well organized & well informed. Plenty of event staffers on hand to direct participants.
Town Lake Animal Center
We enjoyed our experience at the event. We are a very small shelter (no kill) who survives fully on donations. The people who came to the events like yours are generous & all believe in the same things we do when it comes to animals. We did have an adoption, which is always a good thing. We made a lot of contacts with other exhibitors that hopefully will benefit all of us.
Elgin Humane Society
The Austin Pet Expo was a great opportunity to meet a variety of pet owners. The event and entertainers drew a lot of interest.

There are many things we were able to help pet owners with as far as low cost vaccines & testing are concerned. The expo helped us reach out to the community & pet owners that either can’t make vet visits during week days or just can’t afford them.
