PATS Sandown takes place over Sunday and Monday (February 10-11) for the first time, and visitors can expect to find more exhibitors than ever with over 150 companies showcasing hundreds of new products.

UK retailers and international buyers will also have the opportunity to take advantage of an impressive number of show offers, and discover trade secrets from leading figures in the pet and grooming industries.

Organiser Annie Foord said: “There has been a tremendous amount of work going on behind the scenes to make sure that PATS Sandown delivers the widest range of exhibitors, new products, seminars from experts and grooming demonstrations…all under one roof.

“There is so much to see and do inside the exhibition halls I would advise visitors to arrive early at Sandown Park in Esher, Surrey – the show opens on both days at 9.30am. We can’t wait to greet everyone.”

Ms Foord said there are a number of reasons to visit the show.

She added: “The new Sunday and Monday opening days create the perfect opportunity for retailers to browse all the latest launches without impacting on valuable sales time; the change to a February date will offer retailers the chance to stock up with all that’s new for 2019 well before the retail shows get going in the Spring.”
