More than 130 companies and brands have booked exhibition space at PATS Sandown, the industry’s spring pet trade show.
Firms exhibiting at the show include Burns Pet Nutrition, Cotswold Raw, Danish Design, AATU, Just 6, Barking & Meowing Heads, Johnson’s Veterinary Products, Pet Trade Innovations, Su-Bridge Pet Supplies, Trixie, and We.pet.
The show takes place at Sandown Park Racecourse, Esher, Surrey on Sunday March 26 and Monday March 27.
PATS Sandown has also attracted almost 40 new exhibitors, including The Animal People Recruitment Company, PetFocus and Belgian company Coucour, whose founder Robert Huygh discovered the idea of healthy dog treats on a trip to the Himalayas. A number of other businesses, including Earthbound, Long Paws, Proflax and Westland Pet, are also returning to the Sandown exhibition after a break.
Event organizer Gordon Thomas said: “We are almost sold out, which is great news and proof that the UK pet industry is fully behind an event where manufacturers and suppliers can meet up face to face with retailers under one roof at a major venue.
“We also know that visitors to PATS value the opportunity to touch and feel new products, which is a huge consideration when buying stock for the new season.”
The popular New Product Showcase, sponsored by PBW News, enables visitors to check out all the new lines available at the exhibition in a single location, while the two days of the show will also feature grooming demonstrations by some of the country’s leading practitioners.
