PetQuest 2026 is a grooming industry event focused on training and professional certification, drawing between 1,000 and 2,000 attendees to Wilmington, Ohio from June 18 through June 21. The event sits at a mid-range price point, making it accessible for working groomers and salon staff looking to build or validate their skills. Sessions center on hands-on grooming technique and certification pathways rather than trade show browsing, so the floor stays oriented toward practical instruction. For veterinary and pet care professionals looking to add credentials or refine their grooming knowledge, PetQuest offers a focused environment without the noise of a large expo. It works best for individual practitioners, salon owners sending staff for development, and suppliers whose products align with grooming education. More details are available at pqgroom.com.
