Running a pet business takes more than passion. Whether you are a dog walker, groomer, trainer, behaviourist, pet sitter, daycare owner, retailer, nutritionist or any other type of pet professional, building a profitable and sustainable business requires strategy, confidence, education and the right people around you.
Founded by Vicky and Tegyn from The Pet Accountant, The Pet Pro Expo is the UK’s only dedicated business conference designed specifically to help pet businesses grow, become more profitable and build long-term success. Created for ambitious pet professionals who are ready to stop guessing and start growing, the event brings together some of the biggest names in business and the pet industry for a full day of learning, networking and powerful conversations.
After the huge success of the first Pet Pro Expo, the event returns even bigger for 2026, with industry-leading speakers, practical business strategies and an environment designed to help pet business owners move forward with clarity and confidence.
iPET Network are proud to be sponsors of the event and will be there to share information our our qualifications and how to join as an Approved Centre.
There are many pet events across the UK, but most focus on products, trends or social experiences. The Pet Pro Expo is different.
This event is entirely focused on business growth.
It was built to help pet professionals understand how to:
Too many pet business owners are talented at what they do but struggle with the business side. Many spend years undercharging, overworking and trying to figure everything out alone. The Pet Pro Expo exists to change that.
The event is designed to provide practical strategies, honest conversations and real guidance from experts who understand business growth at a high level.
One of the biggest strengths of the Pet Pro Expo is that it is open to all pet professionals, regardless of what type of business they run.
Whether you are just starting out or already established, the event is designed to help you think bigger, improve your business and surround yourself with people who are serious about growth.
Pet Pro Expo is ideal for:
No matter your niche, the challenges are often the same:
The Pet Pro Expo brings together people who understand those challenges and are committed to improving them.
The Pet Pro Expo 2026 features an exceptional lineup of speakers who are known for delivering real value, practical strategies and honest insight.
Speakers include:
The headline speaker for 2026 is Jason Graystone, entrepreneur, investor and business educator, known for helping people think differently about success, mindset, money and growth.
Each speaker brings unique expertise and experience, covering areas such as:
This is not surface-level motivation. The event is designed to give attendees practical takeaways that can immediately impact their business.
In fact, after the first Pet Pro Expo, some attendees reported increasing their profit within just one week of returning home by implementing what they had learned at the event.
That is the power of the right room, the right conversations and the right strategies.
One of the biggest benefits of attending The Pet Pro Expo is the environment itself.
Business growth is not only about information. It is also about the people you surround yourself with.
Spending time in a room full of ambitious, driven pet professionals creates energy, momentum and perspective that is difficult to find elsewhere. Conversations happen, ideas are shared, partnerships are formed and confidence grows.
For many attendees, one of the most valuable parts of the event is realising they are not alone in their challenges and seeing what is possible when they stop trying to figure everything out by themselves.
The Pet Pro Expo is designed for people who want more from their business and are willing to invest in growth.
The experience does not stop when the conference ends.
On the Saturday evening, attendees are invited to a networking party where they can relax, connect and continue conversations with speakers, sponsors and fellow business owners.
Some of the most valuable conversations happen outside the main stage. The networking party creates an opportunity to build genuine relationships within the pet industry, exchange ideas and create connections that can continue long after the event is over.
For many business owners, networking can be one of the most important investments they make.
Many business owners spend years trying to learn everything through free content online. While social media and podcasts can be valuable, there is a huge difference between consuming information and immersing yourself in an environment focused on growth.
Attending a live business event creates focus, motivation and clarity in a way that online content often cannot.
The Pet Pro Expo is not about hype or empty motivation. It is about helping pet business owners build real, sustainable businesses that allow them to increase profit, create freedom and enjoy long-term success.
The pet industry continues to grow rapidly across the UK, but growth in the industry does not automatically guarantee success for individual businesses. The businesses that thrive are the ones willing to learn, adapt and invest in themselves.
That is why The Pet Pro Expo matters.
The Pet Pro Expo has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting business events in the pet industry, bringing together education, strategy, networking and ambition under one roof.
Whether you are looking to improve your marketing, increase your profit, gain clarity or simply surround yourself with people who understand your journey, this event has been designed with pet business owners in mind.
If you are serious about growing your pet business, this is the room you need to be in.
The Pet Pro Expo 2026 takes place on 3rd October at The Eastside Rooms Birmingham. For those of you who cant make it in person the event is being live streamed so you can watch it from home.
Stop guessing. Start growing.
