Focused on Pet Wellness and Education

The mission of the Quad Cities Pet Expo is to bring businesses together to provide tools, services, and resources that support pet wellness. The Quad Cities area spans roughly 1,600 square miles across Iowa and Illinois and has an estimated population of 380,000. About 65% of residents own a pet, representing approximately 247,000 pet-owning households, not including surrounding communities.

A New Opportunity for Local Businesses

Organizers say there is currently no major expo in the Quad Cities dedicated specifically to pets and pet owners, making this event a first of its kind. The expo will feature special events, contests, and educational seminars each day, all aimed at engaging and informing attendees.

The Quad Cities Pet Expo is now seeking businesses that offer pet-related or pet-owner-related products and services to participate as vendors or sponsors.
