Countless cats and canines were at the exhibition’s opening day on Thursday, with their owners perusing the pet food and supplies on offer. The event, which runs until Sunday, also features “international-level pet competitions and events,” including pet beauty pageants, according to a Thursday statement.

Carl Wong, chairman of the organiser Exhibition Group, said in the statement that: “Over the past decade, the government has made considerable efforts in promoting a pet-friendly city, and pet-friendliness is one of the factors considered for attracting overseas talents to Hong Kong. Over the 18 years, the Hong Kong Pet Show has grown alongside the industry, becoming a major event in the field.”
