Prepare for an interactive journey with Hill's

 

Leading pet food brand, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, will be returning to the National Pet Show this year, promising to take visitors on an interactive journey through their pets’ life.

 

The National Pet Show will be at NEC Birmingham on the 2nd and 3rd of November 2019. The jam-packed weekend will showcase lots of amazing animals, as well as live performances, competitions, expert advice and shopping galore.

 

The Hill’s stand, located at C300, is set to provide visitors with an interactive experience for both dog and cat fans. There will be a Bark Park and Cat House with fun educational activities designed to educate visitors on their pets’ nutritional needs, how these change as they age and the way Hill’s food can support them with life-long health.

 

In the Bark Park there will be an age calculator for visitors to see how old their dog is in human years, and in the Cat House, a VR view finder using the transformative power of technology to allow cat lovers to see life through their cats’ eyes. An interactive digital weight tool will also allow visitors to identify whether their pet is at an ideal weight.

 

During the show, pet parents can also pick up a free sample of Hill’s Puppy, Adult or Mature dog food or Hill’s Kitten, Adult or Mature cat food and little ones can enjoy free dog and cat face painting.

 

Leading up to the event, Hill’s will be hosting a series of competitions on their Facebook and Instagram pages, with the chance to win a pair of tickets to attend the show. More details on how to enter can be found on their Facebook and Instagram pages.
