Pet Fest & World's Ugliest Dog Contest

Petaluma, CA

Pet Fest & World's Ugliest Dog Contest

The old saying “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is exemplified at this event! The internationally observed event celebrates homely hounds and the humans who love them. This Contest has been a testament that all dogs do not have to meet AKC pedigree standards to be man’s or woman’s best friend. The owners of all kinds of dogs are also all kinds of people, from youngsters to senior citizens, each proud of their pet despite missing fur, crossed eyes, duck waddles or mismatched ears. They proudly walk both pedigreed pooches and Heinz 57 mutts down the red carpet to the cheers and clapping of the crowd. Pet Fest will be held 2 PM - 6 PM and the contest starts at 6 PM.
