PARKMALL HOLDS PET FESTIVAL
Competitions are mostly for dogs but other pets like hamsters or chickens are also invited
Parkmall has long been known as the Best Pet-Friendly Mall in Cebu. Recently, it was recognized globally during the Asia-Pacific Shopping Center Awards with a Silver Award for its flagship Pet Festival Philippines event.
In partnership with and for the benefit of the Island Rescue Organization (IRO), the Pet Festival Philippines is the mall’s annual initiative in gathering the pet-loving community and educating them on the responsibilities of pet owners as well as on animal welfare through educational talks and exciting activities.
Parkmall continues to champion its advocacy by once again staging the grandest and most diverse gathering of pets and pet lovers for the Pet Festival Philippines from May 4 to 6.
Highlighting the celebration are three of Parkmall’s signature competitions: Pawshionista, Pet Adventure Race and All Breed Fun Match. All registration proceeds from the three competitions will go to IRO to further help them in championing the advocacy that they share with Parkmall.
Pet owners interested in bringing their pals will need to have them registered at the concierge desk upon entry of the mall premises. This is to ensure the health and safety of both pets and mall guests since pet owners are required to present their pet’s updated vaccination record to register. Pet owners who will register for a Pet Pass ID during the Pet Festival Philippines will receive a special treat from Parkmall.
During the three-day event, all guests can join the free seminars to learn how they can be better and more responsible pet owners. Those who are competitive could register for any or all of the competitions.
Fashion-savvy pet owners will love the highly anticipated Pawshionista Philippines, a costume competition for dogs and cats. This year, heroes and villains will take over the runway on May 5 at 6 p.m.
Adventurous pet owners can let their pals join in the fun and get active for the Pet Adventure Race Philippines, a timed relay race. Each competing team should be composed of three humans and three dogs. Race is on May 5, 10 a.m.
Meanwhile, the proud pet owners of beautiful dogs can join the All Breed Fun Match to know if theirs is the divine dog that will transcend its breed’s standards. Pet owners can register for the different categories, but only two doggos will win the ultimate titles of Divine Male and Divine Female Dog.
