ABOUT THE FAIR
CIPS – China International Pet Show is Asia’s leading trade fair for pet supplies and an annual meeting point for the global pet industry. Since its inception in 1997, it has established itself as an essential platform for manufacturers, distributors, industry professionals, and pet enthusiasts alike. Each year, the show is held at the renowned Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou – one of the most modern and largest exhibition centers in China.
CIPS is organized by China Great Wall International Exhibition Co., Ltd., an experienced trade show organizer specializing in industry-specific exhibitions. The event stands out for its thematic breadth and depth, covering all aspects of pet care – from products for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals to aquarium and reptile supplies, as well as cross-industry services and digital solutions. Core product categories include pet food, accessories, grooming products, smart technologies, medical equipment, aquariums, terrariums, and a wide range of species-appropriate habitat solutions. Particularly noteworthy is the detailed segmentation of exhibition areas – ranging from coat care and nutrition to training tools, pet memorial services, and pet-related arts and crafts.
CIPS is more than just a trade show – it is a comprehensive industry experience. In addition to product showcases and business networking, the show features high-profile competitions, seminars, and live demonstrations. The CIPS Innovation Award honors groundbreaking developments in the industry, while the GlobalPETS Forum Asia serves as a think tank where international decision-makers discuss trends and drive innovation. The program is further enriched by popular events such as dog shows, cat exhibitions, and spectacular aquarium competitions, attracting both trade visitors and end consumers.
Exhibitors represent a wide spectrum of the industry – from pet food producers and tech suppliers to breeders and emerging pet-tech start-ups. The show primarily targets professionals in the international pet market, including wholesalers, retailers, distributors, veterinarians, groomers, trainers, pet store owners, and e-commerce providers – in short, all those involved in developing, marketing, or distributing innovations in pet care.
Thanks to its location in southern China’s economically dynamic region, CIPS offers a strategically ideal meeting point for Asian and international market participants. The Canton Fair Complex is excellently connected, both via subway and through Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. The city of Guangzhou itself is a major commercial and economic hub with modern infrastructure and rich cultural diversity – attributes that further enhance the show's appeal.
Whether you are a professional seeking the next big trend or a pet lover eager to explore the latest innovations – CIPS is the must-attend marketplace for the future of the pet industry.
This year the CIPS China International Pet Show takes place on 4 days from Thur., 12.11.2026 to Sun., 15.11.2026 in Guangzhou already for the 30th time.
