Tickets to IndePet’s annual Women in Pet event on 5 March at The Branksome Hotel and Residences in Mascot are selling fast.

This year’s panel includes 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, and Dr. Bronwen Slack – Chief Health Officer at Royal Canin.

Tia Wishart, Business Development Manager at IndePet, said they are so excited to be partnering with Central Pet, Royal Canin and PIAA to bring this event to the industry for a second year.

“It’s been an idea for a long time as IndePet is made up of many strong, creative and influential women, which we thought was important to celebrate. The first year was a bit of a test however we were overwhelmed by the support of the industry and the great vibes on the day – we can’t wait for this event to be part of the calendar for many years to come.”

Jenny Richards, Founder of The Paw Grocer, attended last year’s event and said events like these not only celebrate the achievements of women but also serve as a platform for meaningful dialogue and collaboration.

“From breaking barriers to fostering inclusivity, each speaker shared invaluable insights. It was a reminder of the remarkable strides we’ve made towards gender equality, while also acknowledging the work that still lies ahead.”

Women in Pet 2025 will take place at The Branksome Hotel and Residences, located at 60 Robey Street, Mascot, NSW.
