Another SUPERZOO is in the books and this one might have been the biggest ever. The Mandalay Bay conference center in Las Vegas, Nevada hosted over 10,000 retailers in the pet industry this year, many rolling out new, never-before-seen products for furred, feathered, and scaled friends.
SUPERZOO is a trade show and conference for the pet retail industry and is, unfortunately, not open to the public. It’s one of the largest annual events in the United States dedicated to pet professionals, including retailers, groomers, pet service providers, and manufacturers. SuperZoo provides a platform for industry players to showcase their products, attend educational sessions, network with other professionals, and stay updated on the latest trends in the pet industry.
Trends come and go in the pet industry just like any other, and walking around SUPERZOO gives an idea of what the discerning pet parent is looking for when it comes to caring for or spoiling their furry friends. These are just a few of the amazing products the iHeartDogs and iHeartCats team noticed this year.
1. Cheerble Wicked Ball toy
Cheerble’s line of toys for cats and dogs are sleek, but still fun for pets. Their Wicked Ball toy lights up, rolls, blinks and bounces to keep your pup entertained long after your throwing arm would have tired out! It moves quickly and in unexpected ways, sometimes stopping entirely to give your pup a moment to rest before taking off again! It’s even water resistant, because your dog is going to be drooling over it the moment playtime starts!
2. Solid Gold Air Dried Dog Food Toppers for Picky Eaters
Solid Gold Air Dried meal and topper is gently cooked and air dried at low temperatures to preserve every beneficial ingredient and support digestions and nutrient absorption.

8. Primal Raw Frozen Pronto for Puppies
Primal Pet Foods recognizes that there are many benefits to incorporating raw and fresh foods into your pet’s diet from an early age.

That’s why Primal only uses real, whole food ingredients – never any synthetic supplements.
9. Open Farm Freeze Dried Raw
Open Farm wants to be the better choice for both your pet’s health and the environment.
