Royal Canin Unites Pet Lovers for a Weekend of Learning, Fun, and Responsible Care in Quezon City
Royal Canin, a global leader in pet health nutrition, brought together the Philippines’ vibrant pet community for the Royal Canin Community Weekend 2025, a two-day celebration dedicated to empowering pet owners, strengthening the human-animal bond, and promoting responsible pet care.
Held at Eastwood Open Plaza, the event highlighted Royal Canin’s long-standing commitment to providing pet owners with science-backed knowledge, practical skills, and a supportive network to ensure pets live healthier, happier lives. Families, first-time pet parents, veterinarians, and animal enthusiasts all came together to learn, connect, and take meaningful steps toward A Better World for Pets.
From Community Walks to Hands-On Workshops
The weekend kicked off with a lively community pet walk led by UP MV K9 and Hound Haven PH, bringing together participants in a shared spirit of camaraderie and advocacy. Attendees then enjoyed interactive workshops covering tailored nutrition, dog psychology, and responsible pet ownership, while children delighted in storybook readings like “Welcome Home, Rocky & Charlie!”, designed to foster empathy and understanding among young readers.
Practical demonstrations and interactive activities made learning fun and memorable. Pet owners who purchased Royal Canin products received complimentary vet consultations and basic grooming services, ensuring pets got expert care on the spot. Meanwhile, in a dedicated rehoming area, cats and dogs found loving families through partnerships with trusted breeders, highlighting the event’s commitment to responsible adoption and animal welfare.
Emphasizing Responsible Pet Care
The Community Weekend also stressed the essentials of responsible pet ownership, from proper nutrition and regular health checkups to safe home environments and positive socialization. A sustainability booth encouraged guests to recycle clean Royal Canin bags, promoting simple yet meaningful eco-friendly practices.
Beyond education, the event strengthened bonds among pet owners, breeders, veterinarians, and advocates. Participants enjoyed pet walks, mini-games, trivia contests, creative workshops, and kid-friendly activities. The event passport challenge and grand raffles added excitement, with exclusive Royal Canin products and freebies rewarding participants.
Expert Insights on Tailored Nutrition
Royal Canin brought science directly to pet owners through talks by experts like Dr. Kitsie Torres, Scientific Communication Manager, and Dr. Gio Tristan Esguerra of Vets in Practice, alongside Miguel from Ben’s Walking Club. They highlighted the importance of personalized nutrition based on breed, age, size, lifestyle, and health needs, reinforcing Royal Canin’s commitment to science-driven, individualized pet care.

Royal Canin’s mission doesn’t stop at events. Through the Royal Canin Club, pet owners gain ongoing access to expert advice, educational content, and rewards, ensuring families stay confident in their pets’ care.
