SINGAPORE – Macaws took to the air while cats and dogs sat pretty in prams with their owners pushing them for a stroll around the sheltered running track at The Kallang over the weekend.
Joggers took a back seat as pets and their owners at the Good Pet Fair – Kampong Edition took over the 888m-long Great Eastern Promenade encircling the National Stadium.
The fair, held on Aug 22 and 23, had booths from more than 100 vendors and animal welfare groups.
Some furkids even had portable fans to help them battle the weekend heat as their owners checked out stalls selling myriad pet products, including treats and accessories.
