Saudi Pet & Vet Expo 2026
About the event
The Saudi Pet & Vet Expo returns for its fifth consecutive edition at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center from 9 to 11 November 2026, opening to visitors daily from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM across three days running Monday through Wednesday, and the organiser describes it as the first and only exhibition of its kind in the region.
The show floor is divided into seven exhibitor sectors covering the supply chain end to end: healthcare, spanning veterinary pharmaceuticals, vaccines, surgical and diagnostic instruments, medical devices, sterilisation supplies and dental care; food, including pet food, supplements, treats, canned and frozen lines alongside raw materials and processing technology; grooming and care supplies; accessories such as toys, cages, houses, travel carriers and training aids; aquariums with their filters, pumps and ornamental fish feed; pet technologies covering raw materials and manufacturing, filling and packaging machinery; and logistics services including transport, pet hotels, training farms and pet cafés. The expo targets exporters, importers and agents across the Arabian Gulf, the Middle East and North Africa, with the organiser valuing the Saudi pet care market at roughly SAR 5.1 billion and growing more than nine per cent a year on the basis of international research-house studies, and noting that the Kingdom imports pet and bird food from 18 countries.
Visitor registration for the exhibition is free through the organiser's platform. A parallel programme runs alongside the trade floor, led by the Cat Show in its third edition, judged to World Cat Federation standards in collaboration with Cattus Invictus, a Hungarian member club of the World Cat Federation, where each of the three days counts as an independent competition; and Dog Village, organised by Pawdi, which brings owners, trainers and veterinarians together for competitions, training workshops, live demonstrations and an adoption corner. The programme also takes in the International Dog & Cat Grooming Competition and the Grooming Masterclass by Groom Academy, the Pet in My Life contest, workshops, the B2B business meetings programme and the Hosted Buyers programme. Attending the Cat Show and Dog Village requires separate tickets, and breeder entry into either competition follows its own registration track.
