Dog Events in Connecticut

When you want to really spoil your dog, or just meet other dog owners in Connecticut who are as crazy about their pets as you, there’s no better place to bring Fido than a dog event. Attend any of the dog shows, agility competitions, costume parades, festivals or fundraisers in Connecticut on our Dog Events Calendar and you’ll meet hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dog lovers.
