IndePet has announced the panel for its annual Women in Pet event on 5 March 2025 at The Branksome Hotel and Residences in Mascot, NSW.

Now in its second year, the event will celebrate the achievements and contributions of women in the pet industry and has a panel full of incredibly knowledgeable and inspiring women who will be sharing their career journeys, accomplishments, and insights with attendees.

The panel for the 2025 event has been announced and will feature:

  • Laura V – Animal Behaviourist, Author, Broadcaster, and Presenter
  • Melanie Newman – Founder of Melanie Newman Salon Essentials and Co-founder of Mastergroom Australia
  • Dr. Emma Christie – Chief Veterinary Officer at Our Vet
  • Dr. Bronwen Slack – Chief Health Officer at Royal Canin

Following the success of the inaugural event, which featured keynote speaker Dr Katrina Warren and a panel of industry leaders, the 2025 event aims to build on that momentum. Jessica Gibbons, Owner of La Doggie Vita, described last year’s gathering as “a really inspiring event. So wonderful to connect to some incredible women.”

IndePet has partnered with Royal Canin, Central Pet, and the Pet Industry Association of Australia for the 2025 event, with plans to expand its reach and impact.
