The Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services hosted a pet show at J.K. Grounds in Mysuru, India, attracting many visitors and pet owners from surrounding districts.
Around 702 dogs and 52 cats representing 55 breeds participated in the event, which awarded prizes in multiple categories and shortlisted five dogs for a Best in Show championship. German Shepherds, Beagles, and Pugs were among the breeds displayed.
Organisers noted a 20% rise in participation from the previous year’s show, with many young people and women attending. Attendees like Sushmitha, a resident of Mysuru, and Chethan, a student, brought their own pets and enjoyed interacting with other animals. The event also included information on responsible pet ownership, dog care, and rabies prevention displayed on LED screens to educate the public.
