Manila’s most anticipated pet festival ended with a bang! This year, Robinsons Magnolia transformed into an urban safari playground for animal companions and their humans for Paw Fest 2025.

The two-day event was all about community and connection, inviting everyone to enjoy time with their animal buddies. Best of all, admission was free!

The early Birds gets the goodies

The first 100 attendees each day received exclusive loot bags with treats from Pooch Park, Ciao Inaba, Dentalight, Moochie, True Value, and SmartHeart. Plus, free Puppuccinos made a comeback!

Pet blessings

The pet blessing ceremony was held in the afternoon. All animal companions, including Dogs, Cats, and Rabbits, were welcome to receive the blessing.

Festivities

There were a lot of activities, including a short talk titled “Smarty Paws” that discussed when pets might need a CT scan. There was free deworming provided by The Furr Project, and fun games from Dentalight, Moochie, and Pet Lovers Centre.

The crowd favorite was a fashion show that featuredfeaturing safari-themed petwear.

There were also dedicated photo zones during the afternoon — safari-themed, of course! — and photo prints were available for free.

Community at its core

Now in its fourth year, Paw Fest has become more than just a weekend event. It’s a shared space where a community of people who love their animal companions continues to thrive.
