The Pet Gala, to be held this year on May 19, will showcase show-stopping designs inspired by the 2025 Met Gala, recreated exclusively for dogs by renowned Pet Couturier Anthony Rubio. The event, dubbed “Pet Fashion’s Biggest Night,” benefits AKC’s Museum of the Dog.
This year, the festivities will unfold across three beautifully styled floors at their stunning new host venue, a luxury mansion at GH on the Park in New York City and include:
Grand entrance featuring a 28-foot red carpet and stunning flower wall
Multiple themed photo stations with flower walls, including features for each celebrity pup
Full runway show starring couture-clad canines, with live commentary by Anthony Rubio
Hosted by actress Rachel Pizzolato
Hot food and open bar on the first two floors
Exclusive gift bag featuring a 48-page, 9×11 Pet Gala History picture book — a collectible program of past looks

As the invite states, “get ready for a one-of-a-kind evening of glamour, fashion, and four-legged stars!”
Host Anthony Rubio says, “This is my favorite time of the year. The Met Gala designers get months to create their looks — I get just two weeks to translate them for dogs. Fashion Week is my vision, but The Pet Gala is a challenge in adaptation. The dogs’ comfort and safety always come first. It pushes me to be more creative, and I absolutely thrive on it.”
While this event remains primarily invite-only, a limited number of tickets are being released to the public. We invite you to join us for this unforgettable night and for the first time ever, your well-behaved dog may accompany you with the purchase of a Canine Ticket.
