Pro Pet, the Spanish pet supplies fair, is to be staged in Madrid for the ninth time from 3 to 5 March 2016. The organisers expect over 140 exhibitors and 300 leading brands from 20 countries to appear at the show. This year's Propet attracted nearly 16 000 trade visitors, of which pet product retailers accounted for 28 per cent and vets for 23 per cent. Next year the veterinary conference Vetmadrid, organised by the Madrid Association of Companion Animals Veterinarians, will take place in parallel with the fair.
