Are you attending one or more of these pet industry events in 2024? Then, you’re probably looking for convention booth giveaways and branded swag to create a buzz for your business.
Pet Industry Growth
The pet industry is made up of several subcategories, including:
- General/Pet Care
- Veterinary
- Dog Grooming
- Dog Training & Behavior
- Pet Sitting & Dog Walking
According to a Bloomberg report, the global pet industry is set to grow to $500 billion by 2030.
“The analysis finds that the US is positioned to continue to remain the largest pet market, with sales approaching $200 billion by the end of the decade. This growth is driven by an increase in spending on pet-related healthcare — including veterinary care, diagnostics, and pharmaceuticals — that has created longer pet lifespans that require more expensive elderly care. This advancement and prioritization of elderly care may in turn lead to an increase of the US pet population by 13%.”

Even without this market analysis, there is an observable shift in how pets are valued, with sentiments that they’re integral members of the family. This creates a ripple effect of more niche products and services that care geared towards improving the quality of health and overall life of our beloved animals.
How can your business stand out?

Say less. We have 10 pet-tactically unconventional trade show giveaway ideas for you.
1. Full Custom Plush Dog Toy
Get creative and make something fun for pets. The Durabite™ fleece outer shell is incredibly strong yet soft and gives dogs stimulating playtime. It’s guaranteed pet-safe and non-toxic. It’s not “unconventional” per see, but, it’s definitely going to be unique for your brand.
2. Dog Screen Cleaner Companions
This dog plushie has a belly that can clean your screen. This puts a unique spin on belly rubs. Plus, it’s a promotional item that integrates our love for dogs with something used daily, which is our computers. Brand the cape with your company logo and details. The cape also comes in other colors.
3. Black Ultraviolet (UV) LED Flashlight
Useful for spotting pet stains on carpets or furniture, a practical tool that pet owners might not think to purchase. Pad print your logo on one side of the flashlight.
4. Matching Pet & Human Socks
This is such an adorable giveaway idea! Order a pair of dress socks and match it with a pet sock, all packed in one. We recommend fully customizing the socks so that all sides showcase your business.
5. Heart Silicone Mold
Make pet treats and toppers with these heart-shaped silicone molds. Pet parents can make homemade treats like fruit-infused ice cubes, meal toppers with your brand’s vitamins and supplements, and other pet-friendly snacks.
6. Belborne Tracker Tag
Bluetooth trackers are on the higher end of promotional giveaways, but if you’re planning to hand more premium gifts to a smaller select audience, then this is an awesome choice. Compatible with Find My app in iPhone via Bluetooth and iCloud and have real-time positioning.
7. Laser Pointer Cat Chase Toy
Novelty toys like this one will make you more memorable. A laser pointer shaped like a cat’s paw is going to be a crowd favorite at your trade show.

11. Paw Rubber Jar Opener
Jar openers are practical and essential kitchen items. People love a useful trade show swag and a jar opener isn’t necessarily something you’d relate to a pet industry trade show. This makes this giveaway a refreshing choice. Other colors available.
