Smart pet products became a highlight of the exhibition. The collar-type two-way translation device exhibited by Hangzhou Pipiwo Technology Co., Ltd. attracted many Chinese and foreign merchants.
"Like people, pets' voiceprints and movements behave differently in different emotions and states. Finding the corresponding rules can achieve a certain degree of 'translation.'" Zhang Mengke, the person in charge of the booth, said that the AI model equipped with the product was trained using millions of cat and dog voiceprint data and corresponding behavioral videos, and can identify various pet states such as hunger, happiness, and irritability.

They include managers of large overseas supermarkets and cross-border e-commerce platform sellers, as well as overseas wholesalers, brand agents and representatives of pet medical institutions. Their intention to purchase products ranges from daily necessities such as pet nail grinders to medical equipment such as pet diagnosis and treatment equipment.
"Almost one out of every two households in Russia has a cat, and one out of every three has a dog, and consumers are paying more and more attention to the health of pet food." Anastasia Antokhina, a Russian businessman, focuses on high-quality pet food. She said that the company has previously had some sources of goods indirectly from China, and this exhibition has directly connected with Chinese suppliers that fully match the needs.

The main purpose of Pakistani businessman Shaji's trip was to find supply chain resources such as food and water tanks for pet turtles, but he was deeply attracted by the AI pet translator.
"AI is the future development trend. I plan to test orders in small batches this time and take samples back to evaluate the market response." He said that China's supply chain has a complete range of categories, which can not only stably supply high-quality and low-priced traditional products, but also constantly emerge innovative products. "After the exhibition, I also plan to go to the factory for on-site inspections and look forward to the possibility of more cooperation."
