Do you have a furry friend or two at home? Make sure you repay your dogs and cats for their companionship and love by providing them with the proper care they deserve.

The Pet Food Institute (PFI) and the Veterinary Practitioners Association (VPAP) teamed up to launch the "Well-Fed | Well Nurtured" campaign in June, which aims to teach Filipinos about proper care for their canine and feline friends.

According to VPAP, an estimated 9 million households in the country have at least one dog or cat. "Pets today have a significant place in the lives of Filipinos," says VPAP president Gabriel Paz. "As such, veterinarians have an important role to play, not just in the care of animals, but also in helping pet owners understand how pets should be cared for."
