Steel City Mega Pet Expo: Where Passion Meets Pets
The Steel City Mega Pet Expo is Pittsburgh’s premier annual event, dedicated to uniting pet lovers, animal advocates, and industry experts for a weekend full of education, excitement, and unforgettable experiences. This isn’t just another pet show—it’s a celebration of the bond between people and animals, designed to bring together the best of the best in the pet industry. Whether you’re a dog, cat, or exotic pet lover, there’s something here for everyone.
What Sets Us Apart from Other Expos?
At the Steel City Mega Pet Expo, we focus on what matters most: pets and the people who love them. We believe in creating an experience that’s tailored specifically to the needs of pet families. Unlike other expos, you won’t find rows of unrelated vendors or sponsors pushing irrelevant products. Instead, we handpick every exhibitor to ensure you have access to the highest quality services, products, and resources in the pet industry.
But it’s not just about shopping—our event is a celebration of adoption, education, and community. Here’s what you can expect at this exciting and impactful event:
Over 500 Adoptable Pets
One of the most important and unique features of our expo is our focus on animal rescue and adoption. In partnership with local animal rescues and shelters, we will feature over 500 dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and more, all ready to find their Furever Homes. The Steel City Mega Pet Expo is not just about showcasing pets—it’s about giving them the chance to connect with loving families who are eager to open their hearts and homes.
Under passionate leadership, we are on a mission to make a real impact. For the 2025 expo, our bold goal is to find forever homes for 250 pets. We need your help to make that dream a reality, and together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of these animals.
