PFEXPO East 2025 Had Us all Feeling Lucky!
We were all betting big this September when PFEXPO East 2025 arrived at Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino for two non-stop days of shopping big, connecting more - and having a LOT of fun!
Did we mention the risotto?
With 694 retailer attendees and a whopping 107 exhibitors, we felt luckier than ever to be part of the pet specialty industry -- a family so committed to partnership, loyalty, passion -- and of course, pets! With so many memorable moments, we couldn't possibly recap them all. But here are just a few of this year's PFEXPO East highlights!
✅New Product Showcase
This year's New Product Showcase was packed with new innovations from 50+ brands! And retailers got an up-close look at the freshest finds in pet wellness, nutrition, and enrichment. From toys to treats, this exclusive sneak-peek gave buyers lots of goodies to get excited about!
"I love the New Product Showcase! I saw product that I might have missed and specifically went to those booths to order!” - Retailer Attendee
🐕 From the Show Floor...
There was definitely a buzz in the air! This year's show floor was alive with meaningful moments, memorable conversations and ongoing collaborations between pet specialty retailers and leading brands. Not to mention grilled cheese snacks, ice cream breaks, specialty coffees, a cheesecake bar -- and did we mention the risotto?😲 PFEXPO East had it all...but we were just getting started.
...to the Dance Floor!🕺
When the show floor went dark, the lights turned up at Comix Roadhouse -- on an 80's party that made us want to rock 'n' roll all night! Featuring live music from Mac Daddy, a signature cocktail, karaoke, a costume contest -- and a surprise performance from our President and CEO, Michael Baker, that brought the house down -- this party was, like, totally awesome!
"My, so many [great things]...the 'air', the helpfulness of PFX staff, the upbeat attitude, the flow, the size...of course the food and drink!” - Retailer Attendee
