Pet Show Ends
Dr. K. Bowi Darkwa, Executive Director of the La Veterinary Hospital, Saturday said the notion that pet keeping is mainly a pre-occupation of the wealthy is gradually being discarded.
He said that more people in Ghana keep showing interest in the rearing of pets, as they gain more knowledge about the benefits of keeping them.
Dr. Darkwa who was speaking to the Ghana News Agency at the end of a three-day pet show held in Accra, described the show as a success as far as patronage is concerned.
Dr. Darkwa who is also chairman of the organising committee of the show said one main problem that organisers faced was that of finance.
He expressed the hope that in future individuals and organisations would help with sponsorship, adding that publicity bears immense cost.
About 20 companies including a foreign one took part in the show, which was under the theme, “a good pet a friend forever.”
A dog and equestrian display were held to mark the end of the show.
Pet owners whose animals excelled in various competitions held as part of the show received a number of awards and prizes.
The show was organised by Infocus Public Relations under the auspices of the Ghana Veterinary Medical Association.
