The four-legged and hairy members of the family certainly felt the love during the recent “Love Your Pet” day activities held at Greenbelt 5 Fashion Walk and organized by premier all-natural products store for cats and dogs Bow & Wow, and CARA (Compassion and Responsibility for Animals) Welfare Philippines.
Fur babies of many breeds and shapes and sizes had the time of their life munching on the premium quality all-natural treats at the pet buffet spread laid out by Bow & Wow and All 4 Pets Party.
And it didn’t end there. Certified canine massage therapist and pet care advisor Sheryl Peralta gave some lucky dogs a relaxing massage, while the others enjoyed the exciting and fun booths at the venue that included a photo/kissing booth and a pet caricature station. Genie Singer and Caezar Vizcarra on the other hand serenaded the guests, who also enjoyed the fun games during the event.
CARA Welfare Philippines, which is noted for caring rescued pets, also utilized the occasion to solicit the support of animal lovers to help spread education and awareness about the benefits of spaying and neutering pets.
One of the stars of the show were sweet Pamela (a rescued mixed breed) and charming Brutus (among the rescued pit bulls that have gone through a gruesome ordeal at the Laguna dog fighting ring) at the CARA Welfare Philippines’ adoption booth. They are just two of the adoptable dogs currently under CARA’s care.
Of course, the occasion will not be complete without the requisite selfies, with eager pet parents sharing snaps of their furbabies on social media. Special Bow & Wow boxes laden with all-natural pet goodies, including Buddy Biscuits, Natural Balance pet food, Kong toy, and other ultra premium quality dog food were given to the winners of the Instagram contest – two Shih Tzu pups named Art and Belle, and a Chow Chow named Neggie. Pet parent Ram de Castro’s Chihuahua, dressed up in full Miss Universe regalia, was also given a prize.
Showing love to pets does not require a special day or occasion, but Bow & Wow’s “Love Your Pet Day” event was a perfect occasion to shower extra special attention on pets that have enriched the lives of their pet parents and families.
