For years, the show has given visitors the chance to get up close to dogs of many different breeds, talk to breeders and watch the competition in the rings. The accompanying ZOO Salon offers pet food, accessories, grooming products and other animal-related goods to explore and buy. This year, the programme will feature something more: practical advice for current and prospective dog owners.

A Groomer, a Canine Behaviourist and More Experts

How should you care for your dog’s coat? When is it time to visit a groomer? How can you interpret your dog’s behaviour and recognise signs of stress? What mistakes might we unknowingly make in our everyday interactions with our pets?

These are just some of the questions that guests on the stage will address. Sessions with a groomer and a canine behaviourist are already planned, while the organisers are working on further topics and guests. A veterinary surgeon is also among the specialists expected to take part.

The detailed stage programme will be announced in the run-up to the event.

More Than Just a Show

With these additional sessions, this year’s Dog Show will offer more than just the chance to admire dogs and shop. Visitors will also be able to hear from specialists, ask questions and pick up practical advice they can put to use in everyday life with their own dogs.

The programme will also appeal to those who are considering choosing a breed or welcoming a dog into their home for the first time. Meeting breeders and experts can help prospective owners better understand animals’ needs and prepare to take on the responsibilities of dog ownership.

The International Dog Show and ZOO Salon will take place at EXPO KIELCE on 28–29 November 2026. The names of further experts and the full schedule of stage sessions will be announced soon.
