Petzoo Eurasia brings the international pet industry together in Istanbul

Petzoo Eurasia, described by the organisers as the largest pet trade fair in the Eurasian region, is taking place at the Istanbul Expo Centre. Organised by Ulusal Fuarcılık, the trade fair will bring together national and international manufacturers, brands, retailers and other industry representatives from 7 to 10 October.

The focus is on business development, innovation and international trade contacts. A hosted buyer programme and a dedicated B2B matchmaking area are designed to connect professional buyers from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and the Americas with exhibiting companies. Key areas of focus include distribution partnerships, own-brand production and wholesale collaborations.

With the ‘Petzoo Next’ section, the trade fair also supports start-ups in the fields of pet tech, pet food, smart care solutions and sustainable accessories. These young companies are offered free presentation opportunities and access to international investors and trade visitors.

Vets, veterinary practitioners and veterinary students can also attend the fair free of charge. Products on display include veterinary equipment, surgical instruments, medicines, vaccines and wellness products.

The trade fair programme is complemented by grooming demonstrations, dog training sessions and pet fashion shows. According to the organisers, the four-day event will cover a wide range of product categories, from dog and cat food and grooming products to aquatics, bird supplies and veterinary technology.
