Last Weekend Days at Podium Paw Social: What's on the Le Bubu Pets Booth

Podium Paw Social, The Modern Market's first-ever pet fair co-presented by Le Bubu Pets, is heading into its final stretch at 2F Atrium, The Podium (SM Podium). The fair runs through Sunday, August 16, from 10 AM to 10 PM, with free entrance the whole way through. If you haven't made it out yet, this weekend is your last chance — and if you're already planning your visit, here's exactly what you'll find waiting for you at the Le Bubu Pets booth.

What's on the Le Bubu Pets Booth This Weekend

As co-presenter of Podium Paw Social, Le Bubu Pets set up a booth stocked with the same hero brands our customers already know and trust — the ones we've spent years curating for coats, tummies, and taste buds across the Philippines. Here's what's front and center.

Hoya Barkery: The Chew Wall

Hoya Barkery is our all-natural, single-ingredient treat and chew line for dogs, and it's easily one of the most popular stops at the booth. Expect the classics — dehydrated beef tendon, beef trachea, duck neck, and whole cow ear — alongside the hypoallergenic freeze-dried and dehydrated croc options (croc meat and croc tail) that make Hoya Barkery a go-to for pets with sensitive stomachs. If your dog is more of a grazer than a chewer, the Nutridash food toppers are worth a look too — no fillers, just real ingredients sprinkled over their regular bowl.

Pawrapy: The Skin & Coat Corner

For cats and dogs dealing with itchiness, hot spots, or general coat dullness, our Pawrapy corner is worth a slow browse. The Skin Care Spray is the brand's best-known product for a reason — it's dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic, backed by real patch-test certifications from DRC Thailand, and it comes in a compact 50ml size as well as a bigger 200ml bottle for multi-pet households. The full Pawrapy family — including the Multipurpose Pet's Balm Gel, the Gentle Multipurpose Cleaner formulated without sulfates, parabens, or SLS, and the Odor Eliminating Spray that neutralizes odor at the molecular level instead of just masking it — is also on display for anyone who wants to build out a full at-home routine.

Hoya Purrkery Lickabos, Bubble Bear, and Belly Buddy

Cat parents shouldn't skip the booth either — Hoya Purrkery's Lickabos are a favorite for treat time that doubles as targeted wellness support. We're also bringing Bubble Bear's organic shampoo and its widely-loved multipurpose cleaner (customers consistently tell us it's their go-to for stubborn pee odors), plus Belly Buddy bone broth and toppers for anyone whose pet needs a little extra encouragement at mealtime. It's a compact version of the full Le Bubu Pets catalog, picked specifically for what a first-time visitor is most likely to fall in love with on the spot.

Fast, Hands-Free Checkout at the Booth

Pop-up checkout moves quickly when the booth gets busy, which is exactly why we lean on GCash's merchant tools for in-person sales. With GCash PocketPay, we can accept QR and tap-to-pay transactions right from the booth without extra hardware, and GCash SoundPay gives our team an audible confirmation the moment a payment clears — so we're not stuck squinting at a phone screen mid-transaction while a line forms. It's a small detail, but it means more time actually talking to you (and your pet) about what they need, and less time fumbling with payment logistics.

Make a Day of It: Dine With Your Pet at NIKKEI

If you're spending the afternoon at Podium Paw Social on 2F Atrium, consider building in a stop at NIKKEI on the ground floor of The Podium. Starting August 13, NIKKEI is welcoming guests to dine with their pets and offering a free treat for your furry companion — a nice way to close out a day of shopping and mingling with a proper meal before you head home. Just note NIKKEI is on G/F, a different floor from the fair itself, so plan your route between the two.

Can't Make It This Weekend?

We know not everyone in Metro Manila (or beyond) can swing by SM Podium before Sunday. The good news is that everything on the booth — Hoya Barkery, Pawrapy, Hoya Purrkery, Bubble Bear, and Belly Buddy included — is also available anytime on lebubupets.com, organized by brand and category so you can shop by whatever your furbaby needs most, whether that's sensitive skin, a picky appetite, or a chew that actually lasts. And if Podium Paw Social has you wanting more in-person browsing, our corner at Super Barket, 4th Floor Spatio, Opus Mall, is a standing spot where you can find many of these same favorites any day of the week.

Podium Paw Social wraps Sunday, August 16, at 10 PM. Whether this is your first Le Bubu Pets booth visit or your third lap around the fair, thank you for making these four days feel like exactly what we hoped Podium Paw Social would be — a real celebration of pet living in Manila.
