What is Dogapalooza?
Dogapalooza is Western Canada’s Go To Canine Extravaganza!
This year Dogapalooza is situated nicely within multiple areas of the world famous West Edmonton Mall, our Top Dog Sponsor. Newly expanded into a 2-day festival, Dogapalooza celebrates everything wonderful and engaging about canines and the other critters in our lives.
Animals in West Edmonton Mall? You Betcha!
This is the first time that the public's pouches are allowed into select areas of West Edmonton Mall to partake in the festivities! There are dog and family activities in Phase IV... PLUS dog demos, a large silent auction, and a trade show in the Ice Palace. Please use Entrance 56 (lower level next to HMV) to enter the Mall with your dog. There is a $2 admission fee with the proceeds going towards our fundraising causes.
Dogapalooza has Something for Everyone!
Fun, quirky and just plain out there - there are plenty of attractions for man, his best friend and the whole family to enjoy. Animal lovers are truly unique, so come out on Saturday, November 12th from 10am-6pm and Sunday, November 13th from 10am-4pm to celebrate with the furry-ones that they make our hearts pitter-patter.
Ever Wondered What Your Dog is Really Saying?
Get advice from actual experts - you know... someone with a PhD who studied animals and their quirky behaviour. Well this is your chance to learn from the best and brightest! She has her own radio-syndicated show and is being flown in from sunny California just for us! Take advantage of this opportunity in our own backyard.
Check out the 2011 Dogapalooza Seminar on Animal Behaviour featuring Dr Jill Goldman on Monday, November 14th. Tickets are available online.
