My Dog Loves Central Park Country Fair

The 8th annual My Dog Loves Central Park Country Fair returns to Central Park. Hosted by Central Park PAWS, a program of the Central Park Conservancy, the Fair celebrates the Park’s vibrant dog community and promotes good stewardship of New York City’s great green space.

Fair highlights include:

Celebrity judges include Prince Lorenzo Borghese, founder of Royal Treatment Italian Pet Spa line of luxury dog products and former star of The Bachelor; and Wendy Diamond, a canine critic on the CBS reality show Greatest American Dog and founder and editor of Animal Fair magazine and website.
• An Ask the Vet booth, with licensed veterinarians from Banfield, The Pet Hospital on hand to answer your questions.
• A “pet tricks” casting call with crew from The Late Show with David Letterman.
• A Dog Tales booth, where you can record your Central Park dog story.
• Goodies and giveaways from sponsors PetSmart, Unleashed by PETCO™ and more.
• For the first time, a Children’s Corner with activities for young dog-lovers.
