Le Bubu Pets Co-Presents Podium Paw Social: The Modern Market's First-Ever Pet Fair at SM Podium This August

Manila's pet community has a new date to circle on the calendar. Le Bubu Pets is proud to co-present Podium Paw Social by Modern Pets alongside The Modern Market — a four-day fair dedicated entirely to pet living, running August 13–16, 2026 at 2F Atrium, The Podium (SM Podium). Doors are open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM, and entrance is completely free.

This is more than a booth appearance for us. As co-presenter of the event, Le Bubu Pets is helping shape what a pet fair in the Philippines can look like — one built around genuine community, real brands, and the everyday joy of pet ownership, under the fitting tagline: “A modern fair celebrating pet living!”

Why Le Bubu Pets Is Co-Presenting Podium Paw Social

Since day one, Le Bubu Pets has been built on a simple idea: Filipino pet parents deserve access to thoughtfully curated, genuinely effective products — not just whatever happens to be on a shelf. That same philosophy is what drew us into co-presenting this fair with The Modern Market, the team behind the beloved MoMa community pop-ups that have traveled to Southwood, Estancia, Eastwood, and East Wing.

Podium Paw Social marks The Modern Market's first-ever pet-focused fair, and we wanted to be part of building it from the ground up rather than simply showing up to sell. For us, co-presenting is a natural extension of the work we already do every day: connecting Filipino pet parents with brands that are honest about what goes into their products and what those products actually do.

13 Pet-Approved Brands Under One Roof

Part of what makes a fair like this special is the lineup. Podium Paw Social brings together 13 pet-approved brands, each bringing its own take on what modern pet living looks like:

• All Kind Pet Naturals
• Concepstore
• Dear Pets
• Kawpeng Haus
• La Bonita Charms and Craft Lab Co.
• Le Bubu Pets
• Mamonday
• Nana Pro Litter
• Nü Paws
• Paws & Kisses
• Sunday Pets Club
• Tailed Trails
• Tippy Tappy Club

At the Le Bubu Pets booth, we'll be bringing a selection of our hero house brands for guests to see, smell, and get to know in person — think Hoya Barkery's single-ingredient treats and chews, Pawrapy's dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic skin care, Bubble Bear's organic shampoos and odor solutions, and Holy's all-plant, zero-chemical freeze-dried treats. We'll share more on exactly what's landing on our table as the fair gets closer — keep an eye on this blog for our full booth guide.

What to Expect Beyond the Booths

Podium Paw Social isn't just a row of tables — it's designed as a full afternoon out for you and your furbaby. Activities across the four days include:

• Pet goodies from all 13 participating brands
• A photo booth to capture the day with your pet
• Pastries & drinks to keep you fueled while you shop and mingle
• Live DJ sets setting the mood across the atrium
• Pet talks for owners who want to learn something new
• And more activities and finds throughout the weekend

It's the kind of event where you can bring your dog on a leash, let your curiosity lead you from booth to booth, and walk away having discovered a few new favorites — all without spending a single peso just to get in the door.

A Fair Built on Community, Not Just Commerce

What excites us most about co-presenting Podium Paw Social is the chance to put Filipino pet brands — many of them small, independent, and deeply thoughtful about what they make — in front of a wider audience in one shared space. It mirrors exactly why Le Bubu Pets exists: we've always believed that discovering the right products for your pet shouldn't mean sifting through a sea of options online. Sometimes it just takes seeing, touching, and asking questions in person.

This event also builds on a partnership we've grown over the past several months with The Modern Market at their MoMa pop-ups, where our team has gotten to meet Metro Manila's pet parents face-to-face, answer real questions about skin sensitivities and picky eaters, and hear directly what the community wants more of. Podium Paw Social is the natural next step — bigger, four days long, and co-presented rather than just attended.

Save the Date

Mark your calendars for August 13–16, 2026, 10 AM to 10 PM, at 2F Atrium, The Podium.
