Hot Diggity Dog (and cat and fish and bird)!

Whether you've got a furry friend, a scaly sidekick or a feathered flock, we all agree that pets rock! They bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love into our lives. They're our snuggle buddies, our adventure partners, and our loyal companions. This summer we'll celebrate the special bonds between humans and their pets.

Join us as we turn the dog days of summer into the cat's meow with thrilling rides, challenging games, mouth-watering food, incredible exhibits, and top-notch entertainment during our Summer Pet-tacular at the 2025 San Diego County Fair!

Check back for updates on competitions, educational programs, entertainment, and ticket information. And while pets are generally not permitted at the San Diego County Fair for safety reasons, stay tuned for exclusive, paw-some activities just for pets and their people!
