Yogi wins hearts at Future Pet Food! Talking about responsible dog care at Expo Kielce

23 October 2026
Yogi, the fluffy Samoyed known on Instagram as @yoginkowe_przygody, paid a visit to the Future Pet Food fair at Expo Kielce with his owner, Joanna Łączka-Tórz. It was a chance not only to meet the popular canine influencer, but also to talk about responsible dog care, nutrition and owners’ growing awareness.

Eight-year-old Yogi is a social media star. More than 150,000 people follow his everyday adventures on Instagram. But behind the funny videos and photos lies something more: a wish to show what life with a dog is really like and what it means to be responsible for its health and welfare.

Dog owners are becoming better informed

At Future Pet Food, we spoke to Joanna Łączka-Tórz about how attitudes to pet care are changing in Poland. As Yogi’s owner observes, in recent years more and more people have been paying attention to their pets’ needs, including a proper diet.

Choosing a food now increasingly means studying the ingredients and matching the diet to the dog’s age, health and individual needs. It is also important to understand that owning a dog means daily care, time and responsibility.

More than just doggy treats

Yogi’s visit fitted perfectly with the theme of Future Pet Food. Held at the Expo Kielce Congress Centre on 22 and 23 October, the fair brings together makers of pet food and treats and technology suppliers to the pet industry.

The event shows how the pet products market is developing and how much ingredient quality, food safety and owners’ knowledge now matter.

Meeting Yogi and his owner was a reminder that behind every decision about what goes into a dog’s bowl lies the most important thing of all: caring for the health and happiness of a four-legged friend.
