What Is Global Pet Expo?

Global Pet Expo, hosted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA) in Orlando, Florida, is the world’s largest annual pet products trade show. The event draws thousands of manufacturers, national retailers, specialty pet store buyers, distributors, and media from around the globe — making it the single most important marketplace for any brand seeking retail distribution or industry recognition in the pet category.

Unlike consumer trade shows, Global Pet Expo is an industry-only event. Brands that exhibit at Global Pet Expo are signaling to the retail community that they are serious about growth, ready for distribution, and worth a buyer’s time. For a premium dog food brand like Loyal Saints, earning a booth at Global Pet Expo is a significant milestone in the brand’s retail journey.

Loyal Saints at Global Pet Expo 2025

In 2025, Loyal Saints exhibited at Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida. Founder and CEO Kristina Voltin represented the brand at what is widely considered the Super Bowl of the pet industry — introducing Loyal Saints' human-grade freeze-dried raw dog food formulas to buyers, distributors, and retail partners from across the United States and internationally.

The Loyal Saints booth showcased all three AAFCO-complete formulas: Beef, Chicken, and Turkey + Salmon. Buyers and attendees were introduced to the founding story of the brand — how King’s health challenges changed the way Kristina thought about what went into his bowl, and how that personal experience became the foundation for every Loyal Saints formula.

Global Pet Expo 2025 was a key validation point for Loyal Saints' retail expansion strategy. In the same year, the brand also exhibited at SuperZoo in Las Vegas, where it was designated as an Emerging Brand by the World Pet Association — making 2025 a landmark year for the brand’s industry presence.

What Makes Loyal Saints Stand Out at Trade Shows

In a trade show environment crowded with brands making similar claims — "natural," "premium," "real ingredients" — Loyal Saints differentiation is concrete and verifiable:

  • Human-grade — human-grade quality ingredients, made in an FDA-registered facility in the Midwest
  • Zero compromise formulation — no soy, no corn, no GMOs, no additives, no wheat, no fillers, no by-products, no artificial preservatives
  • Freeze-dried raw — not cooked, not air-dried. True freeze-drying preserves the enzymes and bioavailability of raw food in a shelf-stable format
  • No refrigeration ever — shelf-stable for up to 24 months unopened, ships without ice packs, stores in a pantry
  • Woman-owned, Midwest-made — built by a founder who created this food for her own dog, sourced from U.S. farms
  • AAFCO complete — all three formulas are nutritionally complete for all life stages

These aren’t marketing claims — they’re formulation standards you can check on the label — and we are compiling our testing documentation to publish it. That’s the Loyal Saints difference, and it’s what resonates with buyers who’ve seen every brand promise "real food."
