Hey there! Meet TOFFEE! The cutest, smartest, and most adorable dog there is!
ALPO Philippines launches one of the cutest webisodes to date, which will introduce its newest little ambassador, TOFFEE!

TOFFEE is ALPO’s #1 Fan!

He is a young Jack Russell Terrier who spontaneously tries to come up with the bestest plans to get the real meaty goodness he absolutely deserves. What’s a good tasting meal for TOFFEE? It has to be MEATY! It has to be TASTY! And Toffee wants exactly just that.

TOFFEE also enjoys the cuddles and the huggies from his Mama. Mama is his favorite person in the entire world. Each time TOFFEE gets his bowl of delicious ALPO along with Mama’s furry tickles, he can’t help but sigh and say: “Ahhh! This is the good life!”

Say “Hi” to him on ALPO Philippines’ Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/ALPOPhilippines and allow him to show you how you can give your beloved pet dogs a bite out of the good life!

Everyone, meet Felix.

Yep, Felix is a cat. Biologically, at least. But psychologically, it’s a totally different story.

Felix thinks she’s a dog. And yeah, we gave her a name usually reserved for males.

You see, we got Felix when she was really young. Kubrick and I were doing agility practice in the garage when we heard a little kitten meowing outside. Our garage door is basically just a simple gate fence, so we got to see the little black kitty alone in the side of the street. She seemed lost, and really sad. I called my younger sister to show her the cat, and she said hello to the kitty. The cat must have mistaken her greeting for an invitation to go inside our home… Kubrick (our dog pack’s alpha), sniffed her hello. Since then, she was ours.

Now, about her “manly” name… We haven’t had a cat in ages (the first and last one was Midnight, and he passed on around 15 years ago), so we weren’t really versed in cat anatomy. Besides, even my cat-loving friends told me it was really hard to discern a cat’s gender until its balls actually start showing. In Felix’s case, the balls never did show By the time we realized Felix was a girl, too late! She would respond to no other name but Felix.

After our vet deems her healthy enough to stay with the pack, Felix fit right in. It was probably due to the fact that Kubrick the Alpha accepted her first, so everyone just followed. Unlike the usual primadona cat attitude, Felix knew her place in the pack. She listened to Kubrick when he’s not happy about her being out of bounds, and got along perfectly well with the other dogs. And this, I think, is one of the main reasons she really thought she was a dog, not a cat

Considering her identity crises, it didn’t come as a surprise that her “best friend” would be the silliest dog in our pack: Widget!

Widget is the youngest dog in the pack — probably around the same age as Felix — so you could say that they grew up together, like childhood buddies They played together like puppies would, even though one of them is biologically a cat.

Even with the two of them all grown up, they still play together. They run around like wild dogs everywhere in the house — we’ve learned to lift our feet whenever we hear them coming to the home office. Leave your feet on the ground while they passed — you’ll feel like a bulldozer passed through you with their ruckus

They’re just so cute and silly!

Felix and Widget are due to have their spaying and neutering done soon. We’re thinking of having both at the same time, so lesser stress for them (Kubrick never wanted to return to the vet after they “took” his balls!). Till then, we’ll try our best not to bring to life a new specie: a cat-dog!

With Felix officially part of our pack now, don’t be surprised to see a few Felix-related posts in the future

Pet One Dog Care on Wheels will have its first stop at the SM Fairview Atrium Annex 2 this coming Sunday, 21 April 2013. It’s going to be a whole-day event, from 10AM to 7PM. And when we say “first stop,” yes, Pet One Dog Care on Wheels will soon visit other areas within the Philippines! You might not be able to go this time because it’s far, but who knows? Your nearest mall might be the next location!

Here’s the press release for your information:

DOG CARE ON WHEELS: PET ONE brings quality pet services to Filipinos
 
Filipinos are no exception when it comes to being fond of animals, especially dogs. And owning one entails a lot of responsibilities, greatly influencing the health and wellbeing of owner and pets.
 
With this, Pet One, a locally-based pet food manufacturer, has found a fun and easy way in providing quality pet services to pet lovers by bringing its dog foods made fresh and healthy to supply the necessary nutrients for their dogs.
 
On April 21, Pet One will once again roll its wheels as its Dog Care on Wheels (DCOW) will have its first stop at SM Fairview Atrium Annex 2. It is a yearly event that visits and gives free services to Filipinos in the different parts of the country, aiding pet lovers in making their pet’s life comfortable and healthy.
 
It aims to promote pet nutrition, health & wellness, animal welfare, responsible pet ownership and rabies control to help alleviate the increasing rabies cases in the country.
 
As part of its advocacy, Pet One will give free dog care services such as health check-up, anti-rabies vaccination, deworming (endo or ecto parasitic control) and multivitamin supplementation. It also offers added services like canine grooming and dental prophylaxis.
 
Aside from veterinary services, Pet One also presents its PET ONE Fashion Idol, a pet fashion show, where owners and his pets will have a chance to flaunt their fashion sense. Moreover, there are also perks and privileges that you and your dog may enjoy like exciting freebies and games.
 
DCOW is managed by Pet One, one of the leading pet food manufacturers in the Philippines, in partnership with ACE Hardware, Bon Chon, Manila Bulletin/Animal Scene, and PaylesserShop.
