Nine leading UK suppliers of petcare products will be exhibiting their latest innovations on the British pavilion or individually at Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida from March 22-24. 

The British exhibitor group is being organised for the seventh year running by the UK’s pet trade association, PetQuip, and six of the exhibitors will be receiving cash grants secured by the association from the Department for International via its Tradeshow Access Program.

Grants of £2,000 could be made available for eligible British companies who are in a position to act very quickly and that can comply with the terms and conditions of the funding scheme. Interested UK companies should contact PetQuip, in the first instance

Among the new products on show are complete dry pet foods, home cooked pet food mixes, natural health supplements, dry shampoos, a high performance cooling coat for dogs, a dog bed with orthopaedic memory foam fill, a new force in pet urine cleanup, dog food packaging and automated chicken coop door openers.

Strong new business has been secured as a result of the PetQuip-organised British group at the last six editions of Global Pet Expo. Due to the fact that the association has secured a prime new location for the British pavilion at the heart of the show, considerable interest in the UK products from US and international buyers is expected.



The British companies and their products are as follows:

The standard model is fitted with a timer only; the premium version has both a timer and light sensor; and the extreme model is designed for heavy duty doors of up to 4kg.
