Dogs have come a long way in the Filipino household. From the ubiquitous guard dog tied to a post that lived on leftovers and carrying a forgettable name like Blackie, Whitey or the textbook classic Bantay, today’s Pinoy pooch is getting the attention it rightfully deserves.

This behavioral shift among Filipino pet owners can be greatly attributed to awareness and education. Efforts of animal clubs, associations and pet food manufacturers have encouraged pet owners to treat their dogs not as property. Their campaigns on canine health and wellness, grooming and proper nutrition have shed new and promising light on the role of dogs in Filipino homes. Now, more than ever, dogs are loyal companions, objects of affection, and members of the family.

Every dog lover knows that for their furry friends to be in the pink of health, they need a balanced diet. Leftovers alone will not suffice. More often than not, essential nutrients are lacking in table scraps and most of them can even be dangerous to your precious pet. Prepared dog food has the advantage of having the right mix of ingredients to help make your dogs fit, strong and bright as a happy puppy.

Pet One, a leader in dog food manufacturing, knows the importance of good nutrition very well. Its keen understanding of the Filipino dog owners and canine nutrition has made it one of the country’s most patronized dog food brands.

"Pet One believes that dogs are what they eat. So, just as humans put importance on good nutrition, this same principle should apply to our beloved pets as well. To make sure of this, Pet One uses only the best ingredients, employs strict manufacturing and packaging standards and invests on research and development to improve its formulation," said Edmond Tobias, Pet One sales manager.

Every bag of dog food that comes out of Pet One’s production facility has undergone a rigorous quality control process. It has achieved ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications since it started in March 1999 in Calumpit, Bulacan.

Pet One offers a superb line of dog food that caters to your pooch’s specific growth and lifestyle requirements. There is Pet One Adult Dog Food Maintenance, Pet One Puppy, Proactivo for hardworking dogs, DogiBeef, Pet One Adult Dog Food Light Formula for senior dogs and the Gourmet Dog Food line that includes Lamb Roast, Chicken BBQ, Cheese Burger and Beef Steak flavors. The wet food roster includes Pet One Beef Stew Choice Cuts and Pet One Puppy Beef and Rice Choice Cuts.

Aside from being a vanguard of proper pet nutrition, Pet One puts its paw down on animal well-being and advocates responsible pet ownership. Its active partnership with veterinarians and canine experts has sired Dog Care on Wheels, a program that promotes pet care awareness in local communities.
