In this post we will share with you the booths we will certainly be visiting and that you shouldn’t miss. There will also be many fun activities and contests to keep you occupied all three days! At the end of the post, there will be a guide on how to conquer Pet Expo 2018 like a pro.

Basically, everything you need to know about Pet Expo 2018 is right here!

10 Pet Expo 2018 booths you wouldn’t want to miss

Now, I will admit that I go to Pet Expo purely to shop. You will find distributors, local treat bakeries, designers, and also overseas pet exhibitors. Booths we go to every year includes Howlistic Life, Ginger and Bear, and Happy Tails Pet Insurance (bringing our friends to sign up!). This year, there are new exhibitors that we are excited to visit! Here’s our to-visit list:

1. B2K

B2K is the distributor of popular brands like Primal pet food, Absolute Bites, Absolute Holistic, godog, Outward Hound, and Zippy Paws. Every year, B2K’s queues are long with people stocking on pee pads and dog food.

Find them at E1.

2. Barking Good

The duo behind Barking Good is so kind, humble, and friendly that it shows in their bakes. You can expect new mouthwatering flavours launching at Pet Expo 2018 – Nasi Lemak, Bak Kut Teh, and Durian Durian.

Find them at the Made-in-SGPAW Square, F15.

3. Ginger and Bear

Ginger and Bear is always able to delight us with their well-curated premium products from all over the world. They would be launching their new Mutt Hatters toys at Pet Expo 2018. If you are looking for something special for your dog or for gifting, you have to pop by their booth!

Find them at the Made-in-SGPAW Square, F15.

4. Happy Tails Pet Insurance

We always advocate for dog and cat owners to purchase a lifetime healthcare insurance for their pets. Pet medical expenses are very high and can come unexpectedly. Register for Happy Tails Pet Insurance before your dog turns four to enjoy the lowest co-insurance and better coverage. Also, you will get 15% off premiums and a goodie bag when you sign up at Pet Expo 2018.

Find them at A02.

5. Howlistic Life

Howlistic Life‘s booth is another one that would be packed to the brim as their promotions every year prove irresistible. You will find our favourite brands – K9 Natural, FuzzYard, Zee.dog, Dom & Cleo, and more. They will also be launching their new brand, Kin + Kind at Pet Expo 2018. We personally love Kin + Kind’s Healing Clay shampoo so do check it out!

Find them at D15.

6. The Rosehip Specialists

Latte is currently eating a scoop of Rose-Hip Vital® a day for joint health. We like that it’s 100% natural and smells really nice too. They currently have a one for one promotion for their 500g tub – S$139.90 for two.

Find them at B20.

7. Ohpopdog

Our favourite designers, ohpopdog, will be at Pet Expo this year. Selected off-season pieces will be going for S$15 to S$25.

Expect new capes, bowties, and bandanas, and if they can make it in time, their new human and dog wear collection!

They will also be showcasing their Pawranakan collection, featuring Peranakan inspired bandanas with a playful twist of doggie elements at the Good Dog People Singapaw Showcase happening on 7 April 2018, 4.30pm.

Find them at the Made-in-SGPAW Square, F15. Read our interview with ohpopdog here.

8. Paws Avenue

Paws Avenue is focused on bringing in natural and good products to Singapore. Check out brands like Augustine Approved and Essential Dog if you are looking for ingredients lists that we approve.

Loyalty Pet Treats will also be available at the booth. Each pack of treats is made of a single human-grade ingredient in Australia with a patented dehydration process that preserves nutrients and flavour. It’s so good you can eat it yourself!

Find them at C15.

9. The Barkery

Latte’s favourite anchovies and tripe are from The Barkery. Here’s your chance to stock up on treats and Lactogold!

Find them at the Made-in-SGPAW Square, F15.
