Leading UK firms heading for Gobal Pet Expo in March

 

Among the many new products being launched by leading British suppliers exhibiting on the British pavilion at Global Pet Expo will be luxury dog accessories, a range of pet treats and coats, pet cleaning and hygiene products, flea and bug repellents, chicken coop safety features and pet treat packaging.  

 

The British exhibitor group at Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida (21 to 23 March 2018) is being organised by PetQuip, the UK pet trade association, for the eighth consecutive year.  In addition to supporting the UK pet product exhibitors, the PetQuip association is organising and manning a British petcare information booth (1270) for the benefit of visiting buyers.

 

The British companies and their products are as follows:

 ChickenGuard (Booth 1173) is a leading manufacturer of products for the backyard chicken owner.  The company is well known for its ChickenGuard range of automated chicken coop door openers that provide protection against predators.  ChickenGuard has been upgraded with new features requested by chicken owners, and three models of a new door kit have been developed to complement the ChickenGuard unit.

 

 

CarPET - Pet Hair Remover (Booth 1167) produces one of the best selling pet hair removers available.  It has gained worldwide acceptance by retailers in the pet, motor, caravan and equestrian sectors.  The company has chosen Global Pet Expo to launch a practical and effective cleaning product for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other pets; the latest addition will complement its existing products.

WildWash (Booth 1171) is showing its recently launched Pro Flea and Bug Repellent that has impressive eco credentials.  The product represents a year of work for WildWash, sourcing natural and ethical ingredients from around the world that have been selected as the most effective insect repelling botanicals in their country of origin.  The resulting product uses a blend of essential oils recognised for its flea repellent properties, while also deterring flies, ticks, mosquitoes and other parasites.  The careful, caring combination of Horsetail, Eucalyptus and Nettle can be applied freely and liberally and is suitable for use on both dogs and horses.  As an added benefit, the repellent helps to condition and brighten the coat for a glossy shine.
