Umbrella Pets attends several events throughout the year. We love to support local pet rescues and animal shelters, and their events by setting up our booth, possibly donating products and services and sometimes helping with the planning of the event itself.
Below is a schedule of all the upcoming events for Umbrella Pets. If you have an event you are planning and need some help or just would like us to be a vendor/sponsor, please contact us with the details.
