There were also several pet contests hosted throughout the day, with prizes being given out for the loudest bark, waggiest tail, and best trick. The animals also showed off their athleticism with a ball and spoon race, and put on quite the show in the pet parade.
A total of five goodie bags provided by MrPets were given out to the winners, along with countless handfuls of dog treats.
