The Pesiki Fest in Odesa drew more than 1,000 guests and raised over 23,000 hryvnias for charity
Odessa hosted “Pesiki Fest”—a festival for dogs and their owners that brought together animal lovers, charitable organizations, experts, and representatives of the pet industry. The event served not only as a place for the whole family to relax, but also as a platform to support stray animals, promote responsible pet ownership, and foster a pet-friendly culture.
This year, the festival welcomed 1,180 guests. Thanks to charitable initiatives, the organizers raised 23,510 hryvnias, which will be used to help animals. Additionally, one dog found a new family during the event.
Twenty-seven Ukrainian brands participated in the festival, showcasing products and services for pets. One of the most popular activities was the “Dog Quest,” in which over 1,000 guests took part. Participants completed themed challenges at partner locations and received gifts.
The festival program included six lectures, four workshops, hands-on sessions, and demonstrations by dog trainers. Visitors also had the opportunity to learn more about at-home grooming, talk to industry experts, and get helpful advice on dog care, health, and training.
“Pesiki Fest” once again proved that it is not only a major event for dog owners but also a space that brings people together around a common goal—to make animals’ lives better.
The organizers thanked guests, partners, volunteers, speakers, participants, and charitable organizations for their support and contributions to the festival.
Ahead, the “Pesiki Fest” team looks forward to new events, charitable initiatives, and meetings with the pet-parent community in various cities across Ukraine.
