If you’re in the pet industry and not at SuperZoo then like me, you must feel like your world is on hold. I have FOMO – Fear Of Missing Out – really badly right now and it’s certainly not just because I’m missing all the cool products being showcased.<\/p>\n

SuperZoo is HUGE<\/h3>\n

While SuperZoo is stated to be, “The National Show for Pet Retailers” it is so much more. It’s a congregation of EVERYTHING in the pet space. I know pet sitters, bloggers and heads of pet professional organizations that are there. Their theme this year is, “better together” and I think that is super fitting!<\/p>\n

To give you an idea of the size it’s 282,000+ square feet – that’s more than four miles of aisles! – and just majassive! And here are some stats from 2016 courtesy of our friends at BlogPaws<\/a>:<\/p>\n

So while I can’t scroll through Facebook, Twitter or even avoid the emails from LinkedIn, I know what will come from SuperZoo are amazing new products, amazing new connections made between people in the pet space and amazing things for pets.<\/p>\n

It’s All About Pets<\/h3>\n

Even if you are just a pet owner, this is the time when great things happen for your pets. While the show is certainly mostly focused on product showcasing, it also has a grooming contest and loads of educational seminars to make all those who affect our pet’s lives better for the pets.<\/p>\n
