IndiePet's Growth Journey at Global Pet Expo 2025
The anticipation is palpable as IndiePet gears up for the 2025 Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida, scheduled from March 25 to 28. This year marks a significant expansion for the organization, dedicated to bolstering the independent pet retail sector. With a new booth location (#5824) and a bustling schedule of events, IndiePet is set to create an engaging environment for pet retailers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts alike.
Connecting the Community: Events Tailored for Independent Retailers
The cornerstone of IndiePet's presence at the Expo is its commitment to fostering community connections among independent pet retailers. Kicking off the festivities on March 25 from 8 AM to 2 PM, IndiePet will hold its first-quarter Board Meeting. It’s an important gathering for board members and guests interested in shaping the future of retail pet services. Important discussions on financial management, retailer needs, and effective strategies will provide invaluable insights for the attendees.
March 26 will feature the live IndieChat, a highly anticipated panel that allows retailers to share practical solutions to daily challenges. Moderated by industry leader Candace D’Agnolo of Pet Boss Nation, this session promises to be a goldmine of ideas on "Ideas that Move the Needle," paving the way for independent retailers to innovate and thrive.
The Networking Magic Continues: Breakfast and Golf Events
On March 27, the IndiePet Power Breakfast will be a highlight of the Expo. This new networking initiative aimed at IndiePet retail members will feature breakfast along with six interactive presentations that focus on opportunities for growth and collaboration. With a chance to mingle with leaders from sponsoring associate member companies, this event is not to be missed for anyone involved in the retail pet industry.
The day concludes with a Top Golf Networking Event, co-hosted by IndiePet and the American Pet Products Association. Scheduled for the evening, this gathering allows participants to enjoy a night of relaxation, networking, and golf, encouraging camaraderie within the community.
A Unique Lounge Experience at the Expo
This year, IndiePet's booth will transform into an IndiePet Lounge, providing a cozy space for both members and non-members to unwind and connect. Comfortable seating invites conversations, networking, and community engagement, making it a perfect spot for pet lovers attending the Expo.
The Impact of IndiePet on Independent Retailers
IndiePet's expanded presence at the Global Pet Expo not only signifies its growth but also highlights an essential shift in the industry. As independent retailers face increased competition from larger retail chains and e-commerce, organizations like IndiePet serve as a vital support system. They provide resources and a platform for smaller businesses to thrive in a marketplace that often overlooks their interests.
This growth is about more than just aggregation; it cultivates a sense of belonging and empowerment among a diverse range of pet retailers. IndiePet is committed to ensuring that these local businesses not only survive but flourish in a challenging environment.

As the Global Pet Expo approaches, the potential for connections, learning, and growth within the independent pet retail community stands out. Whether it's participating in the informative sessions, enjoying a meal with fellow retailers, or simply relaxing at the IndiePet Lounge, the Expo promises an enriching experience.
Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to connect and thrive together. Join IndiePet and immerse yourself in a community dedicated to supporting independent retailers. Let’s make 2025 a year of collaboration, creativity, and camaraderie in the pet retail world!
