Australians go barking mad for the inaugural Pet Show…
November 14, 2022: Australia’s first national Pet Show took place at Sydney Olympic Park earlier this month (November 5 - 6), marking the first of four events to be held across Australian capital cities.
Bringing together a range of experts and exhibitors from the pet industry, the multi-zone event gave attendees the opportunity to hear from celebrity vets, be entertained with stage shows and activations, interact with pets and breeders and participate in photo opportunities.
High-profile talent involved in the show included Dr Katrina Warren, Dr Kate Adams, Dr Kate Mornement, Dr Audrey and Dr Alison Shen, Ben Dessen and Dr Kiara Simonis.
A huge success, the show donated part proceeds to assist Sydney Dogs and Cats Home and saw adults and children attend the event across the two days, all eager to celebrate positive pet ownership and learn everything they could about dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles and small animals.
Cameron Just, Managing Director of The Pet Show, said: “Launching a new show is always a large undertaking. We’re so grateful for the support from Sydneysiders and are overwhelmed by the positive feedback received from those who attended.”
“The weekend was a great experience not only for our audience but also for all of the experts and exhibitors involved - many who will be joining us again for future shows. We can’t wait until the new year when we get to do it all over again and bring the show to a new group of pet lovers.”
As part of the capital city rollout, The Pet Show is set to take place in three additional capital cities. Kicking off 2023, will be the Melbourne Pet Show, taking place at Melbourne Showgrounds, Ascot Value February 11th - 12th. Then the show will head to Brisbane (April 22nd- 23rd at Brisbane Showgrounds, Bowen Hills) and Adelaide (July 8th - 9th at Adelaide Showground, Wayville) before returning to Sydney in November.
