ABOUT THE FAIR
The "TIERisch gut" fair, held annually in November at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre and first launched in 2012, is a festive meeting place for pet lovers of all kinds. Hosted by Karlsruhe Trade Fair and Congress GmbH, this special event attracts families, individuals, and professionals from the extensive world of pet care and ownership. The fair takes place at the well-known Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre in Rheinstetten, a venue renowned for its spacious exhibition halls and its ability to accommodate a wide array of events.
Dogs and cats have gained a special status that extends far beyond their role as "pets." They have become important members of the family, offering emotional support and contributing to the quality of life of their owners. They are known for alleviating feelings of loneliness and can help reduce stress and anxiety. Many people report that the company of their pets provides them with a sense of purpose and structure in their daily lives, especially for those living alone or elderly adults. Dogs, in particular, promote social interactions: during walks or in dog parks, people easily engage in conversations, fostering social bonds. Cats, though often perceived as more independent, can also be a strong bonding tool, and their affection is a source of great comfort for many.
The focus of "TIERisch gut" is on the comprehensive presentation of products, services, and knowledge about dogs and cats. However, the fair also offers insights and products for enthusiasts of other types of pets. Here, visitors can find everything from high-quality food and innovative pet accessories to health services. The fair also provides the opportunity to familiarize oneself with a variety of purebred dogs and cats, not to mention mixed-breed dogs. Experts inform about the different breeds, their characteristics, and the best practices for their care.
A special feature of the fair is the extensive supporting program that both entertains and promotes education and awareness. This includes demonstrations, workshops, and seminars by industry experts.
Partnerships with associations such as the Baden-Württemberg State Association for Dog Affairs e.V. and the 1st German Association of Pedigree Cat Breeders e.V. further enrich the fair. These associations contribute through their presence and expertise to providing sound information and advice and promoting love and passion for pets.
Overall, the "TIERisch gut" fair in Karlsruhe/Rheinstetten is a communal experience that celebrates the knowledge and joy of caring for animals. It offers a platform for like-minded individuals to meet, share experiences, and express their enthusiasm for the various creatures that enrich our lives.
The TIERisch gut Karlsruhe will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 28. November to Sunday, 29. November 2026 in Rheinstetten.
