The Great Iowa Pet Expo welcomes anyone who loves animals and pets. Whether you’re a current pet owner or just thinking about bringing a companion animal into your home, the Great Iowa Pet Expo is for you. It’s a great event for family entertainment, and with the largest pet-related trade show in the state, it’s a must for your holiday shopping list!

For safety reasons, only well-trained, well-behaved adult pets are allowed to attend the Great Iowa Pet Expo. Please leave your younger pets at home! Puppies will be turned away at the door.

Please make sure your adult pet is on a short leash (6 foot maximum, no retractable leashes.)

All pets are required to be accompanied by a Critter Release form that you will be required to fill out at the gate on on our website ahead of time. All pets in attendance must be current on shots. Any unruly or threatening pet will be asked to leave. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
