Two British companies – Litter Kwitter and Baggee Ltd – exhibiting at Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida, as part of a UK group organised by the PetQuip association, found themselves on the show's daily TV news feed...

Litter Kwitter's Jo Lapidge told the Global Pet Expo TV reporter: "This is where all the buyers are. You can't afford to miss it."



And Conal Cunningham, from Baggee & Doggee, said: "We thought we'd have a stab at going to America and see what the reaction would be to our new product."
