he demand for pet boarding and daycare services is at an all-time high, and pet parents are not willing to settle for the first facility they come across. Dogs and cats are no longer regarded as “just pets,” but are now considered loved members of the family.

If you’re ready to get with the times and outshine your competition, you won’t want to miss the 2023 Pet Boarding & Daycare Expo!

Taking place in Hershey, PA, November 6th-9th, the largest industry event for boarding and daycare professionals will feature more new speakers than ever before sharing information that is invaluable to all pet care businesses, no matter the size.

This duo will take you on a journey highlighting the dynamic landscape of today’s pet owner and its impact on the businesses that service them.

Seminars will continue all day Tuesday through Thursday covering a variety of topics, all specific to the boarding and daycare industry, from marketing and staffing to dog behavior and cleaning.
