Global Pet Expo, presented by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA), is the pet industry’s premier event featuring the newest, most innovative pet products on the market. Taking place March 22 to 24 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, the show is open to independent retailers, distributors, mass-market buyers and other qualified professionals.

Global Pet Expo features more than 900 exhibiting companies with the latest and greatest in pet product innovations, many of which make their debut at the annual event. In fact, Global Pet Expo 2023 will feature a larger show floor with expanded specialty sections in Natural Pet and What’s New! to meet demand in these trending product categories.

In addition, the New Products Showcase displays the latest products debuting on the market within its dedicated section on the show floor. The New Products Showcase gives exhibitors the opportunity to highlight their newest products and gives attendees a chance to preview all the newest products hitting the industry in one location at the Show. This 45,000-square-foot space on the trade show floor is set aside to recognize the year’s best creative efforts in New Product and Point-of-Purchase Displays. With nearly 1,000 entries, the New Products Showcase “Best in Show” awards are the most coveted awards given in the industry.

Global Pet Expo hosts numerous media- and influencer-exclusive events throughout the show. The Global Learning Series delivers over 40 hours of educational content developed for retailers, distributors, exhibitors and special interest groups in the pet care community.

“We often receive feedback that Global Learning Series is one of the most anticipated and valuable offerings at Global Expo, so we strive to make sure each year’s sessions are information packed and offer attendees actionable takeaways they can apply to their own businesses,” said Celeste Powers, president of PIDA. “Our presenters are experts in their fields, including industry trends, business development, workplace best practices and more. From the latest data on pet ownership to best practices for pet retailers, each session offers real-world insights that propel attendees and their businesses to new heights of success.”

Composed of four Learning Pathways, each Global Learning Series session is designed to reflect sound adult learning principles and the best thinking in the field, informed by theory, research and practice. Sessions are presented by inspiring, experienced speakers and subject matter experts sharing essential learning for organizational growth in today’s business climate in a variety of formats including workshops, presentations, exhibits and conversations.

“Each year, the APPA and PIDA teams make a concerted effort to continue evolving the Global Learning Series in order to deliver content that is of most value and interest to attendees, which is why we have expanded the popular Retail Market Tour into two sessions with a midday joint presentation for both tours, for example,” said Pete Scott, president and CEO of APPA. “We look forward to delivering value to the pet care community through this year’s Global Learning Series while celebrating our mutual successes from new product launches to business achievements, New Product Showcase Awards winners and more at Global Pet Expo 2023.”

For nearly two decades, Global Pet Expo has brought together pet products manufacturers, importers, retailers, distributors, thought leaders and creative minds advancing the $123.6 billion pet care industry. The 2023 show has “Everything You Need” to discover the latest pet products, reinvigorate your business and reimagine how we support our beloved pets.

Global Pet Expo offers ample opportunities to network with old colleagues, meet new ones and learn a thing or two along the way. When it comes to exhibitors, there are plenty of brands that are showcasing a wide range of pet products to pique the interest of retailers and distributors. What follows is a sampling of quality brands and why you should check them out during the 3-day trade show.

 

Alzoo

Alzoo shampoos provide a light, naturally derived fragrance that cleans without irritation.

Alzoo is a brand known for making shampoos that provide a light, naturally derived fragrance that cleans without irritation. The brand is planning to showcase three sustainable concentrated shampoos, which follow the same principle of the hypoallergenic shampoo that the brand introduced last year at Global Pet Expo: No single-use plastic, no transport of water, a reduction in cost and CO2 emissions.

Alzoo grooming products have three exceptional features: performance, results and scent.

Alzoo shampoos are superior performers. These gentle formulas clean quickly and thoroughly without having to use excessive product. A light, natural lather disperses throughout the dog’s fur, rinsing clean and quickly making bath time much more enjoyable for both the dog and pet parent.

Alzoo asks the question: Why should the benefits of a bath last only a day? Alzoo shampoos impart results that extend beyond bath day. A coat that looks and feels healthier, shine and luster can still be seen days after the bath.

Scent is important, and Alzoo offers a scent that isn’t overwhelming. Dogs have sensitive skin, and every ingredient that goes into a formulation can have an effect – both positive and negative.

One product to watch is Alzoo’s 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner for dogs. Thanks to surfactants in the formula, the product cleans dog hair and removes dirt while untangling and moisturizing the hair.

Grab the Crab! Help the Kelp! Polkadog’s crunchy Green Monstah is the newest addition to their line of healthy, limited-ingredient, eco-friendly, ultra-sustainable treats.

Finding ways to manage the over-abundance of green crab populations in New England waters is the challenge.

And because high-protein kelp, one of the healthiest, richest sources of amino acids, faces increasing stress from warming waters and invasive crab species, New England kelp farming is restoring balance to the natural ecosystems.
