Healthy treats, grooming services, and stress-free boarding options ensure your furry family members receive compassionate pet-first care so they feel as loved as everyone else at home

Just like our children, we love our furbabies just as much. Their short time on this earth makes us want to give them everything. The best treats, toys, beds, and services—there’s even a running joke among furparents that much of the sophisticated pet care items are more for the furparents. Not the pets themselves.

Without further ado, here are the winners of the Parents’ Choice Awards 2025: Pets Category!

Healthy treats, grooming services, and stress-free boarding options ensure your furry family members receive compassionate pet-first care so they feel as loved as everyone else at home

Pet Express| Pet Store

Housing a wide range of thoughtfully curated local and international pet-care brands, Pet Express has become a favorite among families with pets. With multiple branches across the country and hassle-free online shopping, it’s easier than ever to stock up on your fur baby’s essentials and needs— from healthy options for kibble and treats, to dog travel gear and pet health supplements.

Mr. Paws | Pet Services

Our four-legged babies are as much part of the family as any member so naturally, we give them only the best services and care. Mr. Paws, a pet care wellness and pet lifestyle destination located in Bonifacio Global City, is our panel’s pick for grooming and boarding because of their focus on compassionate, pet-first care. Their state-of-the- art facilities and trained staff make drop-offs and boarding stays stress-free, even for the most anxious dogs and cats.

Loving our furbabies as much as our kids

For many young families, parenting isn’t restricted to the kids—it extends to the pets too!

Some who have chosen the DINKS lifestyle (Dual Income, No Kids) also see pets as their children. And studies have proven, the loss of a pet is almost as bad as losing a child. Even if they only live up to an average of 10-15 years, the parenting lessons they teach about unconditional love do stick.

Especially if they came from puppy or kitten mills or we rescued them from heartbreaking situations, we become their very definition of love. Any pet—no matter how hard their past was before—can bloom with a lot of love and care.
