Currently, the combined pet shop and garden centre sector is worth £5.2bn to the British economy. With Brits spending an average of £2,000 per year on their pooches, and spending on pet gifts having grown by £286m in the last five years, it’s now up to pet retailers – and retailers of pet products – to take advantage of this. Introducing, Pet Innovation!

The purpose of this exciting new section of the event is to help garden centres across the UK source not only the products, but also systems and services that will enable them to enhance their pet offering, boost retail capabilities, and maximise revenues.

We are delighted to be partnered with the Pet Industry Federation: 

The Pet Industry Federation (PIF) serves as a primer membership association for the UK’s pet sector. With a rich history of representing various pet businesses for over 75 years, PIF is dedicated to enhancing industry standards and fostering the prosperity of its members’ enterprises. Through advocacy efforts, PIF ensures that the voices of its members are heard at the governmental level, championing the industry’s interests.

PIF’s membership encompasses a diverse array of pet-related businesses, including pet groomers, dog walkers, kennels, catteries, home boarders, pet sitters, retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers. By offering an extensive range of benefits, from cost-saving opportunities to tailored training programmes, PIF empowers its members top thrive in the competitive marketplace.

To learn more, book a consultation and meet the Pet Industry Federation at this year’s show. You can also email them to enquire about their Associate Membership plans email: info@petfederation.co.uk
