Mr. Supakit Asavajarn, Senior Deputy Managing Director, Customer Relations at Perfect Companion Group Co., Ltd., mentioned, “Regardless of the era, dog owners always seek nutritious and beneficial food for their dogs. Good food leads to a healthy, beautiful coat, healthy skin, and a happy temperament. For over 20 years, SmartHeart, dog food and other pet foods from Perfect Companion Group Co., Ltd. have undergone continuous research and development to ensure quality and variety. Each year, we introduce new products to meet the rising demands of local and international consumers. This year, the trend of humanizing pets remains strong, with a growing demand for premium pet food that closely resembles human food. Our new product, SmartHeart Signature, is a pouch wet dog food made from pure chicken and various vegetables, which has been well received by the consumers at an affordable price.
This year, SmartHeart’s activities will be as grand as ever, with promotions, discounts, giveaways, and special offers for visitors. On Saturday, July 6, visitors will also get to meet SmartHeart’s popular presenter, James Jirayu.”
Mr. Suthisak Pakdeetawa, Vice President, Kennel Club of Thailand, highlighted the international competition, stating, “SmartHeart presents Thailand International Dog Show is the largest international competition in Thailand, held once a year. This prestigious show attracts participants worldwide, offering a unique opportunity for dogs to be judged by international judges. The show’s reputation for excellence has grown each year, thanks to the venue, facilities, and promotion. This year, nine judges from eight countries will judge the competition, expecting over 5,000 participants over four days.

Mr. Nitipong Laohavisit, Vice President, Thai Pet Products Industry Association, noted the increasing consumer focus on pet health, leading to a rise in demand for ready-made pet food. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the pet population grew significantly, as people spent more time at home. This growth has led to increased competition in the pet food market, with many businesses entering and exiting the market. Despite high competition in pet food and snacks, opportunities remain in pet grooming services, pet clinics, and hospitals.
