Spring Fair, the UK’s leading wholesale marketplace for home, gift, and fashion, taking place from 5^th – 8^th February 2023 at NEC Birmingham, has unveiled an exciting line-up of exhibitors putting the spotlight on products and gifting for our four-legged friends. There are over 12 million dogs in the UK and owners are spending more on gifts for their pets than ever before creating an exciting opportunity for retailers to diversify and stock gifts for pets too.
Daniel Mayhew, Event Director at Spring Fair says, “As a continuing growth sector which looks to be relatively unaffected by the cost-of-living crisis, we are seeing more and more brands focusing on products and gifting for pets or introducing pet ranges to their collections. We’re excited to showcase some brilliant new and innovative products to the marketplace, we’re certain many will become next year’s bestsellers.”
New pet-related exhibitors to the Spring Fair line-up include Wag & Wool, a Brighton-based doggy accessory company producing 100% lambswool jumpers for puppies, adult dog coats, as well as matching owner and dog sets – there’s a WAG&WOOL for every kind of dog, their owner, and your ideal dog walk.
Denzels will present their healthy treats for dogs which are also healthy for the planet. Denzel’s dog snacks are made from 100% natural ingredients, gently baked in the UK into tasty, low-calorie treats. W’zis produces contemporary dog treat tin gift sets. Plant-based, healthy vegan dog treats are more than just part of the plant-based revolution bandwagon. The nutritional makeup of W’ZIS means they are a suitable treat for dogs with a variety of dietary needs.
