Zoomark 2025 – Bologna Italy

We took our place as Çağatay Pet Food at Zoomark International 2025, held in Bologna, Italy between May 5–7.

At this major event, we had the opportunity to meet distributors, suppliers, and industry professionals from all around the world. The great interest shown in our brands and products made us truly happy. We strengthened our relationships with our existing partners and held valuable meetings for potential new collaborations.

We are proud to have returned from the fair with great success. We would like to thank all our partners who visited us and all the visitors who showed interest in our products.

We made our mark at 2024 Pet Izmir, where we were the main sponsor

Just like in previous years, we are proudly experiencing the honor of being the main sponsor of Pet Izmir 2024, the International Pet Products, Materials, and Accessories Suppliers Fair, in 2024 as well.

This amazing event, which took place at Fuar Izmir between September 25-28, brought together suppliers, customers, and brands for a perfect gathering over the course of four days. We also hosted our customers and many of our international distributors at our booth. As always, our booth received intense interest, and our special events for this year made our visitors very happy.

Temizmama’s Impactful Heroes, Temi and Mami, Were Also There

At Pet Izmir, where we are the main sponsor, we signed off on various valuable events, fully aware of the importance of this title. The most special of these events was undoubtedly the Temi and Mami project.


Brought to life through the pen and drawings of Hasan Karaca, the Temi and Mami children’s storybooks feature fun fictional characters—a cat and a dog—bearing the same names. These characters teach children about love for animals, the value and importance of our animal friends in our lives, in a sincere, fun, and humorous way, while also encouraging children to read books. This project, born from the collaboration between Temizmama-Yakın Bookstore and the creativity of Hasan Karaca, also reflects our company’s commitment to social volunteer projects.

As Temizmama & Çağatay Pet Food family, we hosted hundreds of children at Pet Izmir, introducing them to both our Temi and Mami books and various gifts, as well as to the author, Hasan Karaca, creating a truly fun experience. We left behind countless entertaining photos and wonderful memories. At our event, where little hearts beat with joy and their eyes sparkled with excitement, we experienced an indescribable sense of pride.

Special Raffles, Surprises, and Gifts at Our Booth Attracted Great Attention

This year, unlike previous years, we held amazing events for our customers over the course of four days. At our booth, during the raffle event we organized for our Temizmama customers, we distributed kilograms of food and various sample products every day.

As our delicious foods met with lucky winners, the high level of participation and interest was truly remarkable. In short, we experienced and shared a fantastic fair experience from the first day to the last!


We look forward to seeing you at our next fair, Zoomark 2025, in Italy!

We were at Klostermarkens Hunde Hygge Dag – Denmark

At the event called Klostermarkens Hunde Hygge Dag (Klostermarkens Dogs’ Fun Day), where dog lovers came together on 18th June 2023 in Denmark, our BonaCibo brand became one of the event sponsors with the contributions of our distributor, Tranekæret Foder & Hundeudstyr.

In the all-day event, in which 250-300 people participated, our samples were given to all dog owners to try and our BonaCibo dry dog foods were presented to the dogs that won the competitions.

We would like to thank our esteemed distributor for promoting our brands and bringing them together with Danish animal lovers through this and many similar organizations.

We would like to congratulate our distributor of Qatar on their success.

Nowadays, when online sales are gaining importance, forward-looking sales strategies will not only benefit our valued customers, but also enable us to grow further as a brand.

Online pet food industry is booming in Qatar! Today we meet the man and the company at the forefront of this transition cashing it in!

The Pet food industry in Qatar is going online and it’s booming! To discuss that, today we sit for a chat with Dr. Idrees Arafath to find out more about Marmi and online pet food business in Qatar. Dr Idrees, who is a veterinary surgeon turned entrepreneur based in Doha, is the founder of Marmi Pet Food which is among Qatar’s leading pet food distributors. So, we begin by asking him from the very start.

What is Marmi?

Well, Marmi, in reality, is more than a pet food company even though in Qatar Marmi is synonymous as cheap pet food. However, Marmi is much bigger then it’s perceived as it has five major Turkish brands under its umbrella from economical to premium pet food, namely Bonacibo, Micho, Mito, Kennel and Kucho.

In addition to these, Marmi has the Micho Cat Litter which has become a bestseller in Qatar. It, originally, brought Marmi fame and fast forward to the (COVID-19) outbreak in Qatar, Marmi now sells more than 40 tonnes of the Cat Litter monthly and is way ahead of its competitors.

Marmi has evolved in the last few years as a mature brand catering to all pet needs, as it has added more than 100 pet-related items including pet medicines, pet supplements and pet accessories into its inventory through acquiring distributorship of many more companies, namely Avicenna Labs from Turkey and Nektons from Germany, as a result of which, they have added many more quality pet items into the Marmi kitty.

Were did Marmi start from?

Marmi began when I met my current Qatari sponsor and friend, Mr. Abdullah Fakhroo. Mr. Fakhroo being a lifelong animal lover himself and I, thus, shared a common vision of providing cheap, but quality pet food, to all pet owners and the pet rescue community in Qatar. Pet food companies in Qatar, traditionally, were selling pet food at premium prices, thus, discouraging pet culture and street animal colony feeding and some cheaper options which were in the market before Marmi were having bad reviews. Marmi brought a balance to the pet food market in terms of both quality and price.

How did Marmi make the transition to online selling?

This began with our partner app RIMADS, a Qatar based health care and technology start-up which is reimagining healthcare as well as pet care using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced computer science techniques.

Pet lovers just need to download Rimads app via Play Store (Android users) or the App store (iOS/iPhone users).

Our partnership with Rimads was yielding average sales until the coronavirus (COVID-19) came along and then things changed massively for the pet industry in Doha, with people mostly indoors, thronging to buy online and Marmi was already present in the market with Rimads from the inception of the virus. As the phrase goes ‘in the right place, at the right time’, and that’s how to sum up the J Curve post-coronavirus (COVID-19) with massive sales and record deliveries daily.

We have been the main sponsor for CACIB Bitola

As ÇAĞATAY, we have been the main sponsor for XVI & XVII INTERNATIONAL DOG SHOW CACIB BITOLA 2018 that has been held between 31st of March and 1st of April.

There were above 180 participants from Macedonia (FYROM), Serbia, France, Italy, Russia, Albania, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria and Ukraine at the event that was organized by Kennel Club Bitola – Mano Pet Vet and under the leadership of FCI.

23 months old Doberman – Giddy Blossom Tristan fed with BonaCibo has been The Winner of the Dog Show where 53 different breeds were evaluated under 11 categories.

HEALTH of SKIN & FUR

There are a number of physical attributes that we can see in our dogs and cats that indicate their health status and breed. A beautiful, quality fur which is the most important one among them usually means that the pet is healthy.

SKIN & FUR

Many symptoms of nutritional deficiency or disease are internal and undetectable to owners. However, the condition of the skin and fur are very visible, obvious indicators that we can use every day.

SKIN

The skin is the largest organ in the body. It protects the body and fulfils a number of metabolic functions. It is the primary barrier for the body, preventing foreign substances and moisture from entering and it maintains the metabolic balance.
