An Unforgettable Day at the RETRIEVER Holiday! 2026 Event

On March 21, 2026, the first-ever RETRIEVER Holiday! event took place in Osaka, thanks to the enthusiastic support of POCHI, a premium dog food manufacturer operated by Marketing Partner Co., Ltd.

What is RETRIEVER Holiday?

RETRIEVER, a magazine dedicated to retriever breeds including Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and Flat-Coated Retrievers, organized this lively event aimed at dog lovers. It fosters community, interaction, and fun for all participants. While previous events were primarily held in metropolitan areas, this year's event marked a significant expansion into the Kansai region, aided by POCHI's sponsorship.

A Day to Remember

The day of the event was blessed with clear skies as 306 participants and 208 dogs gathered, creating a vibrant atmosphere. POCHI distributed exclusive coupons for their newly developed dog food, the “POCHI Medium Large Breed 3 Poultry Varieties,” which had been created in collaboration with RETRIEVER. Attendees had the chance to sample the food and explore various games and activities, with prizes including bags of the same premium dog food.

In addition to providing products, POCHI arranged a tasting corner where participants could try their delightful snacks such as “Tuna Bits” and “Coconut Oil Cookies,” showcasing the best of what POCHI has to offer.

The lively event not only allowed for enjoyment and entertainment but also fostered connections among dog enthusiasts. A report detailing the event will be featured in the June 2026 issue of RETRIEVER magazine, set for release on June 13, 2026.

POCHI's Commitment to Tail-Wagging Nutrition

The collaboration between POCHI and RETRIEVER extends to the “Food Making Project to Bring Happiness to Retrievers.” Initiated by survey feedback from RETRIEVER readers in November 2024, the project involved directly engaging with dog owners during discussion sessions to understand their concerns regarding dog food. This collaborative effort culminated in the development of the “POCHI Medium Large Breed 3 Poultry Varieties,” introduced in October 2025, focusing on health and quality.

Exciting New Flavors

Responding to feedback from RETRIEVER readers who expressed a desire for fish-based options, POCHI will launch the “Wild Salmon” flavor as part of the Medium Large Breed line in April 2026. This nutritious option features pre-probiotics, is free from gluten and GMOs, and is specially formulated for the dietary needs of large dogs, maintaining a low-fat design of 10% and only 313 calories.

Enhancing Dog Food Through Collaboration

The motivation behind POCHI's sponsorship of the RETRIEVER Holiday! event lies in the shared vision of creating dog food that enhances the well-being of retrievers. By interacting directly with the community at events like this, POCHI aims to continue refining their products in accordance with dog owners' needs.
