St. Petersburg became a zoo capital for the week

On 22 June, ExpoForum launched “Zoo Week. White Nights,” a large-scale event for zoo business, food industry, veterinary representatives and animal owners. The project combined b2b- and b2c-formats: exhibition, a rich business programme and striking pet shows. Over 30,000 visitors and more than 10,000 pets are expected during the 4 days to the 40,000 sq. metres of the ExpoForum pavilions.

One of the main events of “Zoo Week” is the 25th International Exhibition of Goods and Services for Pets “Zoosphere.

The exhibitors present food and accessories, veterinary medicines and equipment, vitamin supplements, dog and cat grooming equipment, and services for the animals and their owners.

The exhibition business programme is of a practical nature and meets the professional needs of the representatives from zoological, veterinary and animal owner representatives. The dog owner convention covered issues of animal health and reproduction and “dog-fitness.” At the roundtable discussion, members of the Union of Zoo-Business Enterprises examine problems of legislation and certification, protection of animal rights and improving the skill of employees. There will also be a veterinary conference, specialised programmes to attract regional dealers and a tourist programme during the white nights period.

The work of the “Zoosphere” exhibition is accompanied by dog and cat grooming competitions with famous international-class judges.

The display “All Dogs of the World” will combine over 7,000 animals, where major international exhibitions will occur of dogs of all CACIB-FCI breeds “White Nights” and “RKF President’s Cup” (organised by the St. Petersburg Kennel Club). The historic show “Dogs – Heroes of the Great Patriotic War” will open.

The “Festival of Breeds” will combine about 20 national clubs of different breeds, cynologists and veterinarians. In the interactive area “I Will Have a Dog!” those wishing can consult breeders on selecting “your” dog breed, its care and raising, children can pass with a dog through an obstacle course.
