The holiday season became even more memorable for pets and their owners as Bow & Wow hosted a festive Christmas Party at the Bonifacio High Street Amphitheater.

Tail-wagging fun and holiday cheer took centerstage as pet lovers from across the city gathered for a day of surprises, pet-friendly giveaways and exciting activities. 

Attendees were welcomed into a lively, decorated space that featured activities catering to both pets and their owners. One of the highlights was the Live Painting by Natural Balance, where talented artists captured the unique charm of attendees’ pets on canvas, creating cherished keepsakes for pet owners. 

The TikiPets Photobooth provided a fun way to celebrate the day, offering attendees memorable snapshots with their pets in a festive setting. Guests were also able to sample a variety of all-natural and wholesome treats from brands like Halo, Woof & Meow, Natural Balance, and TikiPets, ensuring pets had the opportunity to enjoy delicious, nutritious snacks. 

The Pet Play Parks were a major attraction, featuring obstacle courses and interactive toys that brought boundless excitement and allowed pets to exercise and socialize. 

“It was truly heartwarming to see pets and their owners come together for such an interactive and fun-filled experience,” said Jam Muñasque, head of marketing at Bow & Wow. “From the playful activities at the Pet Play Parks to the thoughtful tips shared by experts, created an environment where every participant felt the holiday spirit and celebrated their love for pets in a unique and meaningful way. Seeing the joy and excitement on everyone’s faces reminded us of our purpose—to strengthen the bond between pets and their families, and make memories that last a lifetime.”  

Vets share pet health tips 

A special section of the event was dedicated to expert talks, providing pet owners with valuable insights into maintaining their pets’ health and happiness throughout the holiday season and beyond. Renowned veterinarians and pet trainers took the stage.

Dr. Ken Lao and Dr. Cris Lao, seasoned veterinarians at The Ark Animal Health Veterinarian Clinic and Co-founders of Pawsitivity Project Philippines, highlighted the importance of mental stimulation for pets, pointing out that cognitive activities contribute to a pet’s overall well-being. “Keeping pets mentally engaged is just as essential as physical exercise,” they said. 

Dr. Jaline Sta. Ana, a certified veterinarian at the New Alabang Vet Center, provided practical tips on maintaining proper nutrition during the festive season. “Avoid giving pets table scraps during holiday meals, and choose pet-friendly treats that align with their dietary requirements,” she said. 

Meanwhile, certified dog trick trainer Vicky Ortega demonstrated easy training exercises that pet owners could practice at home. “A few minutes a day of focused training can greatly enhance your pet’s behavior,” she shared.

Dr. Zander Castro, co-owner and head veterinarian at The Furr Project Animal Hospital, emphasized the importance of hydration and routine check-ups, stating, “Consistent vet visits help catch any potential health issues early.”

“Events like this provide a wonderful opportunity not only to celebrate the holiday season but also to educate and empower pet owners. At Biyaya Animal Care, we are proud to support initiatives that strengthen the bond between pets and their families, ensuring that our furry friends enjoy a healthy and happy holiday season—and every day after,” said Rina Ortiz, president and founder of Biyaya Animal Care.
