“We work tirelessly throughout the year to continue to improve the Global Pet Expo experience for exhibitors, buyers and media alike,” Darmohraj said. “As the largest annual pet products trade show, we’re thrilled to be sold out nearly a month ahead of the show opening. We expect Global Pet Expo 2017 to be another record-breaking event.”

The 2017 show will feature 1,130 exhibitors, 27 percent of which are international companies, 3,435 booths and 223 first-time exhibiting companies. With more than 3,000 new product launches, Global Pet Expo will showcase the latest and greatest products available for all types of pets including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small animals and horses. The show has also grown in recent years with added special sections including the “International Pavilions,” “Natural Pet,” “Boutique,” “Everything Aquatic” and “What’s New!”
