With more than 130 companies and brands exhibiting their vast ranges, there was plenty for visitors to see and talk about during two days of non-stop activity at this year’s PATS Sandown show.

Organisers of PATS Sandown, which celebrated its 25th show last month, said the event continues to go from strength-to-strength.

Will Baggaley, international sales and marketing director at Earth Animal, said: “Without exception PATS is the most important pet trade event in the UK. It’s the ideal show to forge and build relationships within the industry.”

PATS Sandown celebrated its 25th show at a special drinks reception, sponsored by OvertheCounter’s sister publication, pbwnews, after the first day. The event also marked the 50th anniversary of Pedigree Wholesale.

Gerard O’Mahony, Pedigree Wholesale’s managing director, said: “It’s wonderful to celebrate our milestone alongside PATS. We’ve had a great relationship with the exhibition over the years and it’s great to see it go from strength-to-strength.”
