Petindex announces seminars

The Pet Care Trade Association, the membership association for pet trade specialists, has a wide-ranging and exciting seminar programme in store for visitors to this year’s Petindex show, taking place in Birmingham from 19 to 21 September. “From reptiles to creative grooming, designing a website to endo-parasites, cat welfare and pet bereavement, there’s something for everyone at this year’s event,” said Janet Nunn, the chief executive. “We’ve worked hard to ensure that every sector is represented and that the topics cover issues to help strengthen your business in today’s challenging climate, and how you, as a professional, can increase your knowledge base.” Groomers have a selection of grooming demonstrations and talks on specialist qualifications on offer on Sunday and Monday; retailers have an array of seminars each day to choose from to help their business, and Tuesday includes presentations that will be of particular interest to those in the pet boarding and rescue sectors.
