About 71 million U.S. households have at least one of these little rascals, running about the backyard, snuggling under the covers or begging for attention. They're not children, but pets. Sometimes lovingly referred to as "part of the family," these creatures are what draw thousands of business people to Global Pet Expo. With most expos and shows, it’s about the buyer coming to, well, buy.[1] The Global Pet Expo is the pet industry's largest annual trade show. It is presented by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA). The 2009 Show featured 779 exhibitors, 2,306 booths and more than 3,000 new product launches. 41,000 pet product buyers from around the world attended. In 2010, Global Pet Expo will take place March 25-27 in Orlando, FL. Global Pet Expo is open to independent retailers, distributors, mass-market buyers, and other qualified professionals. (The show is not open to the public.)[2] From canine prescription lenses, dog car seats and hi-tech water bowls to microprocessor-controlled smart aquariums, DVDs for cats and cookbooks for birds, the products unveiled at Global Pet Expos over the years demonstrate the innovative thinking and entrepreneurial spirit of pet product manufacturers.[3] 2010 will mark the second year that The Pet Loo team has exhibited at Global Pet Expo.
