Qatar’s first international pet festival is where unforgettable memories begin — exciting competitions, live entertainment, fashion shows, grooming, expert vet talks, adoptions, food, and family fun in one extraordinary celebration.
Home / About
Nova Paw Festival proudly introduces Qatar’s first international pet festival, bringing together thousands of pet lovers, families, breeders, trainers, veterinarians, exhibitors, and animal enthusiasts for two unforgettable days. Created for everyone who believes pets are family, it’s more than an event — it’s a destination where people connect, learn, compete, and create lasting memories alongside their companions.
What makes Nova Paw Festival truly unique is its internationally recognized judging panel. Official judges from the World Kennel Union (WKU) oversee the dog competitions, while judges from the World Cat Federation (WCF) evaluate the cat championships — bringing world-class judging standards to Qatar for the very first time.
