One may note that t he animal welfare organizations who participated were Biyaya Animal Care, Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), Compassion and Responsibility for Animals (CARA), Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF) and PCVSO.

A highlight of Day 1 was the ‘KarmaCritterz Cosplay Pet & Handler Costume Showdown,’ in which the theme was futuristic-retro. There was a breed show on Day 2, as well as a live search and rescue demonstration from the UPMMDA Vanguard K9. The garden ring area served as the venue for the exotic birds’ free flight show, while the fashion show for the runway collection of Ezydog Phils. happened on the main stage.

There’s a plethora of choices for pet nourishment which include both new as well established brands like Jungle from Turkey, Saint Roche Premium Organiz Dog Shampoo from Taguig/Cavite, Diamond Naturals from USA, Topbreed (by Robina Agri) from Pasig, Josera from Germany, Happy Pets from Antipolo, etc.

An important product that re-launced at the trade show was Pawnec, which functions as a smart ID, a pet tracker, and an alert system for dogs and cats. Whooppy, Pet Discount, and Fanfreluche, constant exhibitors at the trade show, were just some of those who were able to sell out their goods. Pet’s Own Milk, a brand known for its high quality lactose-free milk perfect for weaning kittens and puppies, and making adult pets healthier, sold out as early as 5 o’clock in the afternoon.

On Day 3, Powerdog, Powercat and Powersand were suddenly discounted at 50% off at 7:15pm on the dot. “Talagang pinlano ko yan on the last day. Whatever is left dun sa stocks ko on the second day will be sold up to 50% off from 7 to 9 of the last night,” said Pao Balagtas, the CEO handling these brands under Powerpets Philippines, Inc. A Malaysian executive of the brand from the Rawnag head office was also present during the trade show.

Earlier, Powercat and Powerdog were the sponsors for the ‘Karmacritterz Hunt, Snap, and Win’ contest where one would have to take a selfie from the list of places provided. AKF Animal Rescue staff members were happy campers since a donor gave them a generous amount. They raffled an overnight stay at their sanctuary, aptly called the ‘Bed Bark N’ Breakfast’ scheme. When one looks it up on AirBnB, the rental unit’s priced at Php10,000 for just a single guest.
