For those living in Canada who consider their pet part of the family, the Canadian Pet Expo is one of those events worth experiencing. Held at the International Centre in Mississauga, the fair brings together products, services, activities, experts, breeders, and thousands of animal lovers in one place. The next fall edition will take place on September 19th and 20th, 2026, near Pearson International Airport.
The history of the Canadian Pet Expo spans over 25 years. According to the organizers, over this period, the event has grown from a fair focused on the pet world to a grand celebration of the coexistence between people and animals. Currently, the organization claims to receive more than 90,000 animal lovers annually across its various initiatives.
Why visit the Pet Expo? It’s 4 events in one place!
To begin with, there’s a huge marketplace with over 200 exhibitors at the fall edition. You can find food and treats, toys, accessories, beds, handcrafted products, hygiene items, specialized services, and new products from small businesses and large brands. For those who enjoy discovering different products—or simply pampering their pets—the hours can fly by among the stands.
But the fair goes far beyond dogs and cats. The program includes areas dedicated to birds and small animals, as well as reptile and aquatic exhibitions held simultaneously. In the September 2026 edition, four events will be gathered under one roof: Canadian Pet Expo, Canadian Reptile Breeders Expo, Plant Expo, and Canadian Aquatic Expo.
Cat lovers have a special attraction: the CPE Cat Club & TICA Cat Show, with competitions, breeders, different breeds, and a commercial area dedicated to the feline universe. For dogs, one of the most fun attractions is the CPE SpeedWay Lure Course, where animals can chase a lure on a specially prepared circuit. There are also demonstrations and seminars related to grooming and professional animal care.
Another interesting aspect is the possibility of bringing your own pet. The Canadian Pet Expo presents itself as an event where all animals are welcome, provided they are socialized and comfortable in busy environments. There are rest stations for dogs and specific safety rules; those bringing an animal must present the authorization form required by the event.
The Pet Expo is more than just a shopping fair.
The event is an opportunity to discover trends, meet local businesses, learn about care and behavior, meet other animal lovers, and observe how the pet market is transforming. For families, it can be a different kind of weekend outing; for those who work in the sector, a networking opportunity; and for those who love animals, a fun and discovery-filled experience. The fair is an opportunity for good business and for deepening the bonds between pet owners and their pets.
