In this episode of The Pet Accountant Podcast, Vicky and Teigan look back on the incredible success of the first-ever Pet Pro Expo, a pioneering event created to bring together pet professionals from across the UK to learn, connect, and grow.

They share the behind-the-scenes journey of organising the event, from their nerves about attendance (especially with Storm Claudia rolling in!) to their delight at seeing around 170 people attend in person and 50 more join online. The turnout proved just how much the pet industry values community and professional development.

Vicky and Teigan also celebrate the amazing mix of attendees, including groomers, trainers, and retailers, all coming together to share ideas and support each other. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many people already implementing new strategies they learned at the event.

While they touch on a few small logistical hiccups, such as heating and meal timings, both hosts agree the day was a huge success — and they’re already planning the next Pet Pro Expo for October 2026, promising even more inspiring speakers and interactive sessions.
