The Pets Canada Industry Show, Western Canada’s largest B2B event, was held in downtown Calgary, Alberta, at the beautiful BMO Conference Centre on April 13th and 14th. Over 115 exhibiting companies filled the show floor, bringing together over 700 pet professionals to discuss and explore the latest trends in pet products, nutrition, technology, and sustainability.
“We are thrilled with the turnout and the excitement at this year’s show,” said Christine Carrière, President & CEO of Pets Canada. “The support from our sponsors and the active engagement from the pet community demonstrate just how vital this event has become in bringing the industry together.”
Thanks to the generous sponsorship support from Nutram Pet Products and Anipet Animal Supplies, the show was a great success, providing an outstanding platform for industry leaders to connect, learn, and grow.
Congratulations to Oven-Baked Tradition, for being voted as the ‘Favourite New Product’ at the Pets Canada Industry Show in Calgary! Their new CARE has been formulated for small breed, adult dogs as a complete food, to support urinary tract health. Bravo, Oven-Baked Tradition!
We were honored to have Jodhi Gondek, the Mayor of Calgary, present the Pets Canada Community Awards on Sunday evening. The enthusiasm was palpable, and the cheers were so loud that a neighboring show down the hall could hear the excitement!

Alberta MLA Janet Eremenko and Calgary City Councillor Sonya Sharp were graciously in attendance, where they had the opportunity to meet with their constituents and learn more about our responsible pet sector.
As expected, tariffs were a hot topic of discussion throughout the event. Pets Canada staff, along with our partners from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, made the rounds to gather insights and contribute to our ongoing lobbying efforts.
The winner of the $1,000 Staples Gift Card in the Visitor Zone Treasure Hunt was Kimberley from The Pet and Farm Supply. Congratulations to her and thank you to our fantastic Treasure Hunt exhibitors.
