Insider Tips
SuperZoo Tips for First-Timers
- SuperZoo is a trade-only event. Bring valid business credentials (business license, resale permit, or industry proof) for registration.
- The New Product Showcase is a must-visit. It highlights the most innovative pet products launching at the show — great for spotting trends.
- If you are a groomer, do not miss the grooming competitions and demonstrations. They draw crowds, so arrive early for a good viewing spot.

- The education sessions cover everything from retail merchandising to pet nutrition to social media marketing. Pick a few that align with your business goals.
