In today’s pet industry, independent specialty and big-box scale aren’t opposites—they’re complementary forces. At Connect…Canada’s Pet Trade Expo, we bring together retailers of every size to explore trends, build partnerships, and grow stronger together.
The most successful brands in the pet industry are no longer choosing between business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) events, they’re committing to both. And for good reason: when done well, participating in both formats creates a powerful loop of influence, reach, and brand growth. "Consumer shows give us the opportunity to hear directly from the end users, helping us gather real-time feedback and adapt quickly when needed." - Gord Walker
