PATS 2024 unveils top grooming programme

Pet industry exhibition PATS 2024, which takes place at Telford International Centre on 29 September to 1 October 2024, will feature grooming demonstrations, talks, and question and answer sessions. 

The Grooming Workshop, in association with petcare brand For All DogKind, will feature some of the country’s leading groomers. 

The demonstrations, on the first two days of the show, will highlight the expertise required to successfully complete all traditional grooming techniques, and will show off a few creative twists as well.   

On the third day the focus of the talks and Q&A sessions will be on the potential benefits of adding grooming to retail premises. 

Over the three days of PATS, the workshops will include:  

• Live demos, including the secrets behind creating the perfect groom. 
• Live grooming competition, with industry-leading judges.  
• Ask the experts Q&A sessions.  
• Talks on how dog grooming can benefit pet shops.  
• How social media can benefit a grooming business.  
• Ways to increase turnover through grooming services. 

For All DogKind Director Laura Redstone said: “With the show being a three-day event, it gives us a great opportunity to provide a workshop to cover more live demos, a grooming competition, social media support and Q&As with industry leading experts.” 

PATS Organiser Gordon Thomas added: “The grooming demos have always been a highlight of PATS shows and it’s great to be staging such an interesting programme once more.”
