Interest in pet ownership on the increase
Growing number of consumer shows suggests more people would like to own a pet
 

Consumer pet shows are springing up all over the country with organisers claiming that interest in owning a pet has never been higher.

The latest company to announce their plans for 2013 are Sherwood Media & Events, who have decided to take their consumer show Pet Expo to
Glow at Bluewater, Kent, on October 25-27.

“Glow’s integration with Bluewater Shopping Centre means it provides so much more than any other events venue in the South East," said event director Marie Murphy.

"We believe the benefits of being co-located with a major retail and entertainment centre will offer a significantly stronger package for both
exhibitors and visitors, including free car parking and discounted restaurants meals."

For those families considering getting a pet for Christmas, a strong theme at Pet Expo 2013 will be to promote responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. Animal charities, retailers, breeders, associations and pet services will be there specifically to meet visitors and answer any questions.

Marie Murphy added “We’re really excited to bring Pet Expo to the UK and it’s going to be such a great show for all the family and for anyone interested in their own pets or even considering getting a pet.

"There’ll also be lots to do and see including a Children’s Pet Corner. an on-going series of seminars and interactive workshops to entertain, enlighten and educate the whole family on choosing, owning, and caring for their pets.”
