Utrecht 21 June 2023 - After a successful first edition, the lifestyle event for dog and cat lovers 'About Cats & Dogs' returns to Royal Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. On 11 and 12 November 2023, one of the exhibition halls will be completely transformed into a true dog and cat Walhalla. After the success of the first edition, the event will double in size. With over 80 exhibitors, lectures, workshops, an exercise stage and a cat plaza, cat and dog lovers can have their fun for a weekend.

Piet Hellemans and Renate Gerschtanowitz in attendance again this year
Well-known veterinarian and television presenter Piet Hellemans will be present throughout the event. He will provide several sessions in the theatre, giving tips and allowing visitors to ask questions. Renate Gerschtanowitz, founder of pets.nl, will also be on hand to meet visitors.

Dog and catfluencers
With thousands of followers on Instagram and TikTok, famous 'dog and catfluencers' are also present this year. For instance, cat Oliver, known from instagram channel 'Oliverscatventures' with 60.3k followers, shows how he takes fantastic trips with his owners.

Experts share knowledge on handling, behaviour and care of dogs and cats
What is the best diet? When do you take your four-legged friend to the doctor? How do you handle your dog in relation to children? What do you do with an anxious pet on New Year's Eve? What are the latest trends on accessories and toys for dogs and cats? These questions, and many more, will be answered at the dozens of lectures and workshops during About Cats & Dogs.

Main sponsor Prins Petfoods
Prins will be the main sponsor of About Cats & Dogs this year. Besides being present with a stand, Prins will, like last year, also provide the content programme of our Cat Plaza this year. The place to be for cat lovers. Mariska van Gelder, Experience director Prins Petfoods: "This year, we are the proud main sponsor of this beautiful event. The name says it all; it's about dogs and cats, but the pet owner is certainly not forgotten either. With animal welfare at the forefront, we inform and inspire owners these days with our Prins foods, but teachers from our knowledge centre Edupet also give various lectures. A great crown for us this year, as our family business is celebrating no less than 60 years of existence!"
