Hotel Reservations for Petfood Forum & Petfood Essentials 2025
Rooms are available to pre-registered, Petfood Forum attendees and exhibitors on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the high demand at our headquarter hotel, only pre-registered attendees and exhibitors of Petfood Forum 2025 and Petfood Essentials may reserve hotel rooms within the Petfood Forum room block.
In order to ensure the best possible rate and room availability, all reservations require a two-night, non-refundable deposit upon, per room, upon reservation. If reserving rooms outside of the event date, call the hotel directly to inquire about availability.
PLEASE BE AWARE: In order to appropriately and safely secure your hotel rooms, please use the links below to ensure you are booking within the official Petfood Forum room blocks. We do not affiliate with anyone that conducts telephone or email solicitations for booking hotels and do not recommend you arrange your hotel reservations with any of those groups.
Please note that Petfood Forum does not sell, rent or share the attendee database, or conduct in phone outreach to help book hotel room reservations. Impersonation scams like hotel reservation scams and email list sale scams can be reported to the FTC.
