Together Again at SuperZoo

This year SuperZoo looked a little different. Fist bumps and elbow taps replaced hugs, smiles shined through masks, and hand sanitizer was a hit in grab bags. Despite this new landscape, one feeling outshined the rest: an overwhelming sense of optimism in the air.

SuperZoo’s 2021 theme, Together Again, was all about getting back to building relationships in person with some of the best retailers and brands in the pet industry. Retailers, brands, and pet buffs came together for the first time in a post-COVID world to reconnect and get the inside scoop on the newest hits in the pet space.

NextPaw is founded in bringing people together – our technology is built to connect pet parents to pet products and services. The theme was personal to us, so we took it to heart and set out with one goal for SuperZoo: Help pet retailers and brands engage online with local pet parents in their area.

Did we hit that goal? Oh yeah.

NextPaw + Brands + Retailers at SuperZoo 2021 Was a Huge Success!
