Elevating feline care: Boehringer Ingelheim launches first Catvocacy forum nationwide

Boehringer Ingelheim launched the first-ever Catvocacy Forum for the company, uniting veterinarians to elevate cat care nationwide. The forum aims to raise the standards of feline care in the Philippines, empowering vets to provide compassionate, quality care.

48.3% of Filipino households own cats with a population of over 2.74 million, highlighting the growing need for veterinarians trained in feline care. Cats often conceal pain, hide illness, and react strongly to stress, making specialized veterinary care essential for early detection, treatment, and prevention.

#FurTheWin: Build an eco-friendly home for your pets with Samsung’s boxes

Unboxing any new appliance, like a brand-new TV, is always an exciting experience. There’s a certain rush in opening the box, installing the TV, and seeing it perfectly fit your home. Movie marathons, virtual calls, and game nights are now possible in crystal-clear definition.

But after the excitement, what happens to the cardboard box? Instead of just discarding it, give it new life by turning it into something fun for your pets! Upcycling is possible with any cardboard box, but Samsung makes it easier with its Eco-Package, which comes with every 2021 TV model. This award-winning initiative makes use of a dot matrix design to make it easy to cut and assemble the cardboard box yourself. Simply scan the QR code found on the box to access instructions and get started. 

Common pet care mistakes

Most pet owners adopt a pet for companionship. While it’s true that your furry pal is cute, cuddly and loyal, you might be overlooking at the more important things besides the love and comfort you are already providing. In some cases, first-time pet owners may accidentally commit common pet care mistakes.

Sound body and good hygiene are the most important things that should be maintained for pets. It is understandable that all your efforts are good-natured intentions to bond well with your new-found friend, but imparting care and affection are done differently with Fido or Fluffy. All it takes is an expert advice to properly nurture your pet with right the food and exercise.
