Paw Fest returns to Robinsons Magnolia on August 22 and 23 for its fifth year, transforming the Upper Ground Floor Atrium into Pawchella Festival—a two-day shopping and community event for people who take their pets seriously.
At the center of it all are 36 participating brands, making Paw Fest a weekend shopping haven for premium pet products worth discovering.
Independent local businesses will share the floor with established pet-care and lifestyle names. Most participating sponsors will offer free product sampling, while others will bring new product launches, special releases, and exclusive event discounts to Paw Fest.
And when you need a break from shopping, there is plenty happening around the festival.
On Sunday, August 23, The Furr Project Animal Hospital will conduct a free deworming drive for 150 pets. Dr. Reign Zander Castro, Medical Director of The Furr Project, will also lead a session on the fundamentals of responsible pet care.
Dr. Saza Curaming, Pet Nutrition Adviser of ADM Philippines, will also share practical insights on gut health and understanding pet food labels.
The Pet Blessing returns as one of Paw Fest’s traditions and remains free and open to walk-ins.
The weekend program is also built around participation and community, with audience games, live competitions, brand activities, complimentary Puppuccinos while supplies last, and a free photobooth for all to enjoy. Come early, too: the first 50 qualified guests each day can receive an Early Bird Loot Bag.
That mix of shopping and shared experiences is a big part of why Paw Fest has lasted five years. It gives pet owners a reason to stay beyond the marketplace and spend the day with a community that cares just as much about their animals.
Paw Fest Got Talent returns with live performances featuring pets and their humans, while Pawscars 2026 brings pet-centered storytelling to the screen through its short film competition.
And despite how much the event has grown, one thing has remained constant: Paw Fest remains free to attend, as it has been from the start. Walk-ins are welcome, so visitors can simply show up with their pets and explore.
Paw Fest is spearheaded by Kott’s Pet Galleria, with Robinsons Magnolia serving as its home venue partner.
This year’s partners and sponsors include Ganador, Equilibrio, Minino, Pet Depot, Stanley 1913 Philippines, Nestlé Purina, Moochie, Dentalight, Jerky Time, The Furr Project Animal Hospital, Inaba Ciao, and Pet Lovers Centre.
Five years in, Paw Fest has become the kind of weekend where you might come looking for one thing and leave with a new favorite brand—and probably more shopping bags than planned.
If you believe your pets deserve the good stuff, August 22 and 23 are worth saving.
