Nearly 50 vendors of pet food, relevant items and services set up stalls at the riverside bazaar during the canoe contest.

The competition falls into three categories, namely pet grooming, pet training and instruction, and pet healthcare service. A total of 32 professionals showcased their skills after winning the preliminary contests.
These series of contests are designed to select the best from the top and offer a career path guidance for participants, according to officials from Minhang鈥檚 agriculture and rural committee.

Huacao has established a pet industry trade union to build a communication bridge for employees and practitioners, while safeguarding workers鈥 rights and interests to further improve the industry鈥檚 service quality.
It will establish skill training platforms, formulate industry service standards and promote vocational qualification certification.
In recent years, Huacao has attracted over 50 pet food, healthcare and service companies.
