While it might seem easy to take care of an animal, there’s a lot that goes into it. You form a deep bond and a relationship that’s hard to explain to others, even if it makes perfect sense to yourself. If you want to celebrate your special pet, then there’s an upcoming event you have to check out.
In no time at all, PetCon NYC will be taking place. The event scheduled for December 14, 2019, at the Metropolitan Pavilion will be packed full of pet-centric fun and activities. It’s going to be a fantastic time for you and your furry friends. The annual convention celebrates pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages.
You’re welcome to travel with your dogs and bring them with you to the event. There will be plenty of photo opportunities and chances to meet with pet influencers such as Duke from Bush’s Baked Beans commercials and the Gone To The Snow Dogs. It’s you and your pooches’ time to shine, so make sure to have your camera ready.

Hotels That are Pet-Friendly
Pet-friendly accommodations exist throughout the city. But here’s a real #LifeHack: when you’re visiting Manhattan, it’s often easier and less expensive to actually stay in Jersey City, NJ. It’s just across the Hudson, and taking the PATH train into Manhattan is less congested than taking the subway.
The Hyatt House Jersey City is among the nicest options available for you and your furry friend to stay in Jersey City. Other great hotels that allow animals in rooms include Candlewood Suites Jersey City-Harborside, Meadowlands View Hotel, and the Westin Jersey City Newport.
A Tail Wagging Good Time Awaits You at PetCon NYC

If bonding with your best friends is something you’ve wanted to do more of lately, you’ve got all the reason to this December.
