Organizers of Vitafoods Asia 2026, the Asia-Pacific region’s premier trade event for the nutraceutical, functional food, and dietary supplement industries, have announced a dedicated spotlight on pet health and companion animal nutrition for this year’s edition.
Taking place from September 2–4, 2026, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok, the trade show will host a specialized Pet Nutraceutical Showcase and expert-led knowledge sessions.
