There were as many visitors around the stands as at the rings. Cat and dog owners who completed performances with their fosterlings are interested what can be given to the champions as treats. There is such a selection here that one immediately wants to become a cat or a dog himself.

An animal often lacks physical activity in a city. To maintain its activity, the exhibition features a lot of interactive toys, laser pointers, teasing fish rods, feathers, and fluffy tails with embedded bells. Such toys develop predatory drives, and help an animal to keep fit. They give a chance even to a little kitten to feel an experienced hunter. Soft and solid devices, those for catching and biting, with an embedded timer and sleep mode, presented by LSK, save time for the owner and give freedom and activity to the pet.

The experts of the exhibition recommend to buy pet goods from the approved suppliers only: there are too many goods of poor quality at the market. GU-VAS, a Belorussian manufacturer, has displayed at its stand the scratching houses made of high-quality cardboards, dog toys (non-abrasive and non-toxic material does not cause injuries to teeth and gums, and a squeaker stimulates the animal’s interest and inspires it to play). Convenient pet beds and hammocks, snuffing assorted cubes, premium car seat bags: these goods have been developed for the most beloved «children» – our pets.

The founders of the independent family company «Artigiano» from Saint Petersburg are sure: animal longevity starts with good food. Natural treats made of the well-tested raw stuff are the best award in the training process, long journey, and every day.

Th same ideology is followed by Magna company, a well-known food importer. Turkey and veal pate with vegetables, lamb and soft beef souffle, and what is more, quail and pheasant. Near the stand with such delicacies one is about to cry: «Fedya, poultry!»

Ekaterina Bukharova, Head of the Breeder-Marketing of Moscow Branch of Grand-Alfa, told that due to the foreign pet food manufacturers having withdrawn from the market, in two recent years an issue of own production has become a topical one. Change of food is a stress for the animal. That’s why, when choosing a cat or a dog nutrition, the owner wants to be sure that he will always be able to buy this food.

«Our two new brands – Best Dinner and premium Edel – have been manufactured for almost three years at the Limcor plant in Belgorod region. At the end of the summer, we will release a dry veterinary diet Best Dinner for cats and dogs, which is a long-awaited product to correct basic animal diseases. Our committed position in the Edel brand is maximum meat in each product. We want to prove that in Russia we can do everything well, and not just once but for many years», underlined Ekaterina Bukharova.

Ekaterina has also said, that the company employees test the new foods themselves. Of course, this is made by their pets, but their «parents» also wouldn’t mind tasting the tenderest souffle or pate: «Tinned meat often looks far less attractive for people than the dog tinned food containing no skin and fat; the tin is tightly stuffed with minced meat».

Aleksandra Bazarnaya, Valta company’s Manager for Working with Breeding Farms, agrees that the animal nutrition should be characterized by stability: «Our premium Award was manufactured in 2023. We then developed our own food to be manufactured in our country, and the breeders and owners will be sure that it is a good diet of high quality and that it will always be here». The Valt stand features three own brands: Mr. Kranch toys, premium food Award and «Mnyms» treats.

So, when the pets had dinner, it’s time to think of their teeth hygiene. Elena Vasilieva, Marketing Expert of Saint Petersburg network «Municipal Veterinary Diagnostic and Treatment Center No.1» draws attention of the exhibition visitors to the fact that it is very important to provide quality dental care of pets, clean their teeth regularly, give the well-balanced food, and only the treats that were permitted by a dentist, and to place braces in time, if it is needed to form normal occlusion. Elena Vasilieva recommends to make dental check-up once a year and to make the teeth cleaning – everything as with people.
