Oxyfresh: Found!

Last Friday, June 8, 2007, Robin and I went on a little trip to Tagaytay. We had lunch at Breakfast at Antonio's and on our way home, we noticed some signs of dog supplies manufacturers outside Tagaytay Vista Hotel. Curious, we stopped by to have a look-see. As it turns out, the Veterinary Practitioners Association of the Philippines (VPAP) is holding its 35th Annual Scientific Conference. Outside the venue, there were a lot of stalls showcasing veterinary products.

We spied on an Oxyfresh banner outside so we were quite hopeful to find them in one of the stalls. We have been looking for Oxyfresh for over a year now after their office in Mandaluyong closed down. That is why I was very happy when I found out that they did have a stall there. I was able to talk to Liza, Oxyfresh's Direct Marketing Coordinator and I told her how glad we were to find them. Their pet deodorizer worked really well on our Pekingese dogs which are quite infamous for bad breath (tee hee..).

We got two 16 oz bottles of the pet deodorizer when they didn't have a 1 gal. bottle. Afterall, we had many dogs. At least now though, we know where to find them when we run out again:
MAKATI OFFICE
Suite 910 Medical Plaza, Amorsolo cor. Dela Rosa, Legazpi Village, Makati City
QUEZON CITY OFFICE
Suite 811 Future Point Plaza, 112 Panay Avenue, Quezon City

Adopt a Shelter Dog Month

Clifford The Big Red Dog® on Board To Celebrate Adopt-A-Dog Month®

Plus, Tune In for a Special Clifford Week on PBS KIDS!

October is American Humane's Adopt-A-Dog Month® and the hugely popular Clifford The Big Red Dog® has signed on as official “spokesdog” for the monthlong celebration. Clifford is featured on American Humane’s Adopt-A-Dog Month posters and other materials that have been distributed to more than 6,000 shelters nationwide.

Millions of dogs are euthanized every year across the country because there are not enough loving homes. This is why American Humane’s Adopt-A-Dog Month was established. Celebrated every October, the tradition promotes dog adoptions from shelters and provides an opportunity to teach the public how to care for their pets responsibly. Improve your life with a dog’s companionship, and support these voiceless creatures.

Pinoy Pet Superstar

It's probably too late for this but I just thought I'd let you know anyway: Besides, it's another great reason to join the event. ;-)

PAWS Fund Raising Event

See you there!

Free Rabies Vaccine for Everyone

Yehey! I just love freebies. Who doesn't? Anyway, we got the small dogs vaccinated last April 8 and 9 at the Pet One and Greenlegs event in Philamlife Village, Las Pinas. We had to make 2 trips because we have a lot of dogs, not including the big ones that won't fit the car. It was tiring but considering the vet bills you otherwise pay for, we really have nothing to complain about. They gave away Pet One samples to all registrants but the free dog grooming promo was given only to those who purchased Pet One dog food. It was a successful event-- many participated so dogwatching was quite interesting. So to Pet One and Greenlegs, a big THANK YOU!

April Activities

PCCI
All breeds show at Tiendesitas Ortigas Pasig City on April 8-9. For the complete list of dog show schedules for April, visit the PCCI website.

PET ONE
Pet One in cooperation with Green Legs pet supplies will sponsor an event offering FREE dog grooming and anti-rabies vaccination. It will be held at the park area of Philamlife Subdivision in Las Pinas, MM. We'll bring as many of our dogs as we can to avail of the freebies. Hehe..

PEDIGREE
I got some details on the Pedigree Bench show from the PCCI forum. It was posted by May Reyes from Pedigree. I will reproduce it here for those interested.--

...the PEDIGREE Bench Show is a conformation show with a little twist.

It is going to be the very first Bench show and the biggest event of PEDIGREE in the whole of Asia. It is patterned after the Bench shows of Crufts but due to limited space, it will be on a smaller scale.

This show is co-presented by three affiliate clubs, the Philippine Dobermann Federation, the Philippine Hound Group Club, Inc and the Bulacan K9 Club and will be for the benefit of the PCCI.

There is going to be a conformation back-to-back All-breed Championship dog show under two International Judges from Australia and fabulous PEDIGREE Bench Show trophies will await the winners. Points won from these shows will be accredited as this is a PCCI sanctioned show and points will be counted for the National Top Dog of the Year. PCCI show schedule shall be followed:

Saturday AM: Sporting & Terrier Group
Saturday PM: Toy & Hound Group

Sunday AM: Non-Sporting & Herding Group
Sunday PM: Working Group


Entry fees shall be the same as that of PCCI and you may register your entries through the PCCI office at (02)7218345. Please look for Janet.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join the conformation shows on April 22 & 23 at the NBC tent at the FORT. Comfortable holding areas for the dogs entered in the show shall be provided.

While the Conformation show is on-going there will be other activities and the highlight of the two-day event are the activities within the Bench area. Top Breeders with expertise on their own respective breeds and their dogs shall be occupying the Benches. Walk-ins, spectators and guests are welcome to visit the Benches and find out more about the breeds they are most interested in.

Breeders shall decorate their benches, post photos, posters or even give out leaflets as a means of sharing their knowledge on their particular breed. Breeders shall be available on both Saturday & Sunday to attend to all inquiries there may be on the said days. At the end of the event, the most popular Bench shall be given an award.

Puppies will not be allowed to be displayed and sold during the 2-day event. PEDIGREE strongly upholds the golden rule of Responsible Pet Ownership. Breeders are encouraged to invite their prospective puppy buyers to their house or kennel and develop a mentor-student relationship.

Benches shall be provided for by PEDIGREE. As for assigning of Bench participants, priority has been given to the PEDIGREE Ambassadors and PEDIGREE sponsored clubs. Other slots are still available and you may contact me at 0917-885-0508 on how to apply for it. Of course, being a PEDIGREE Event, PEDIGREE users shall be given priority.

Outside the tent, other canine activities are scheduled. All these geared on giving more knowledge to dog owners and will-be dog owners.

Please invite all your friends, those interested to learn more about dogs and those who are in search of a new dog to come and visit the PEDIGREE Bench Show on April 22 & 23 at the NBC Tent at the Fort, as this will be an opportunity of a life time to meet up and talk to the Philippine's finest breeders and to learn from them and to witness the Biggest World Class Canine event to happen here in the Philippines and in Asia.

This event shall be televised and will be aired a week after the event on Studio 23.

I hope to see you all there! Let's work hand in hand as this show is for all of us! Kudos!

There will also be a similar event in SM City North EDSA on th same date. We don't know the details yet on this one but it would be fun to go. Of course we'll be dropping by Tiendesitas on Saturday, January 28, for the PCCI dog show (January 28-29,2006 349th and 350th PCCI All Breeds Dog Show, Tiendesitas Frontera Verde ). Can't wait to see many gorgeous dogs under one (big) roof.
