Family Pet Shows is a family owned and operated the company that for nearly 20 years have successfully hosted pet expos beginning in 1994 in Pennsylvania. The company now hosts five different pet expos annually in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; the Long Island Pet Expo in the Park (2 days, outdoor in September); Long Island Pet Expo (3-day event held indoors in March); The Greater Philadelphia Pet Expo (3-day event indoors in January); the Lehigh Valley Pet Expo (a 2-day indoor event in February), and the New Jersey Family Pet Show (a 2-day indoor event in Nov 2015).

Family Pet Shows, formerly known as The Horse and Pet Expo, is run by husband and wife team Karen and Dennis Garetano and their son Joe Garetano. In 1994, after years of publishing Horseworld USA magazine, they thought of the idea to host a horse expo in Pennsylvania and held their first show in 1994 Fort Washington, PA. After two years of successfully hosting the first horse expo, they expanded the show to include other pets and changed the name to Horse and Pet Expo and began adding new locations. Throughout the years and additional shows, Family Pet Shows has grown in size and popularity in each location.

Dogs on leashes are welcome. Kids have great fun!
