Podium Paw Social Is Here: Your 4-Day Guide to The Modern Market's First Pet Fair at SM Podium
Share
The doors are open. Starting today, August 13, 2026, Podium Paw Social by Modern Pets takes over the 2F Atrium of The Podium (SM Podium) — and Le Bubu Pets is proud to be co-presenting this four-day celebration of pet living alongside The Modern Market. If you caught our announcement yesterday, this is the follow-up you've been waiting for: the practical, no-fuss guide to actually making the most of your visit.
Whether you're planning to swing by after work, spend a whole Saturday there with your dog in tow, or just want to know what all the fuss is about, here's everything you need to know.
The Basics: Dates, Hours, and Where to Go
Podium Paw Social runs Thursday, August 13 through Sunday, August 16, 2026, from 10 AM to 10 PM daily, at the 2F Atrium of The Podium in Ortigas. Entrance is free, so there's no reason not to bring the whole family — furbabies included.
This is The Modern Market's very first pet fair, and Le Bubu Pets is honored to be co-presenting it with them. It's a milestone we've been looking forward to for weeks: a full atrium dedicated entirely to pet living, curated by two brands that have spent years building community around pet ownership in the Philippines.
Who You'll Find There: 13 Pet-Approved Brands
Podium Paw Social brings together thirteen pet-approved brands under one roof, each bringing its own take on what modern pet parenting looks like. The current lineup includes:
- 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
From nutrition and grooming to accessories and enrichment, there's a genuinely wide spread to explore — which is exactly the point. A fair like this only works if it reflects the full range of what pet parents in Manila are actually looking for, and this lineup does that well.
More Than Just Shopping
Podium Paw Social isn't only about browsing booths. Across the four days, expect:
- Pet goodies from participating brands
- A photo booth for your best furbaby portraits
- Pastries & drinks to keep you fueled while you shop
- Live DJ sets for that unmistakable market energy
- Pet talks from people who know their stuff
- Plenty more activities and finds throughout the atrium
It's the kind of event designed to be lingered in, not rushed through — so budget more time than you think you'll need.
Say Hello to Le Bubu Pets
Our booth will be stocked with favorites from across our catalog — think Hoya Barkery and Hoya Purrkery's single-ingredient treats and chews, Pawrapy's dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic skin care line, and more of the hero brands our customers already know and love. We'll have a full recap of exactly what's on the booth later in the fair, so keep an eye on the blog — but for now, know that our team will be there all four days, ready to help you find the right fit for your furbaby's specific needs.
Bonus Stop: Dine With Your Pet at NIKKEI
Here's a detail worth planning around. Starting today, August 13, 2026, you can dine with your pet at NIKKEI and get a free treat for your furry friend — a promo tie-in between Le Bubu Pets, NIKKEI, and SM Podium.
One important note: NIKKEI is located on the ground floor (G/F) of The Podium — a different level from Podium Paw Social itself, which is up at the 2F Atrium. They're two distinct but complementary stops, so keep the floors straight when you're planning your visit.
Our suggested itinerary for the day: start upstairs at 2F Atrium to browse the 13 brands, catch a pet talk, and let your dog or cat sniff out the photo booth. Then head down to the ground floor and settle in at NIKKEI for a meal with your pet by your side, treat included.
Can't Make It to SM Podium?
If you're not able to visit in person this weekend, our full catalog is always open online at lebubupets.com. Browse our hero brands like Belly Buddy for nutrition, The Pawcious for grooming, or Petsmile for dental care — the site is organized so you can shop by exactly what your furbaby needs, whether that's sensitive skin, picky eating, or senior support.
See You at the Atrium
Podium Paw Social is exactly the kind of event Le Bubu Pets loves being part of: a genuine community gathering built around better pet living, not just a sales floor. We can't wait to meet the pets and pet parents who make this community what it is. Come say hello, bring your furbaby, and let's make this first-ever fair one to remember — four days, one atrium, and a whole lot of good company.
Podium Paw Social runs August 13–16, 2026, 10 AM to 10 PM, at the 2F Atrium, The Podium (SM Podium). Free entrance.
