Royal Canin, a global leader in health nutrition for cats and dogs, has launched its first-ever Educational Hub in Southeast Asia, located in Cainta, Rizal, Philippines. This pioneering 850 sqm. facility is designed to elevate pet care and nutrition standards not only in the Philippines but across the Southeast Asian region. With this landmark investment, Royal Canin aims to promote responsible pet ownership, equip pet owners with essential health knowledge, and set a benchmark for advanced pet care practices in the region.
The Royal Canin Educational Hub represents the company’s ongoing commitment to building “A Better World for Pets,” providing a community-centered space where science-based pet nutrition and care knowledge can be shared with both pet owners and professionals. With a legacy rooted in scientifically backed nutritional solutions, Royal Canin is dedicated to helping improve pet health and well-being at every life stage, underscoring the importance of tailored nutrition for both cats and dogs.
“We are thrilled to introduce our first Educational Hub in Southeast Asia, beginning here in the Philippines,” shared Gerard Poa, Market Head at Royal Canin Philippines. “This facility exemplifies our mission to make meaningful contributions to pet health, longevity, and overall quality of life. We look forward to empowering our trade partners and pet owners throughout the region with education and inspiration to embrace responsible, science-based pet care.”
Designed as an inclusive and interactive space, the Educational Hub features workshops, hands-on exhibits, and expert-led sessions covering critical topics such as nutrition, health and wellness, grooming, and training. These resources aim to offer pet owners a comprehensive understanding of the connection between precise nutrition and lifelong pet wellness. Additionally, the hub is accessible to key stakeholders, including veterinary professionals and trade partners, creating a central resource to advance pet health standards collaboratively across Southeast Asia.
More than just a learning center, the hub will act as a community space, hosting events that bring together pet enthusiasts from various walks of life to share insights, learn from veterinary experts, and build a network of supportive, like-minded individuals. This communal approach aligns with Royal Canin’s vision of informed and empowered pet owners fostering environments where pets can thrive.
With this initiative, the Philippines is taking on a leadership role in Southeast Asia’s evolving pet care landscape, showcasing the country’s commitment to progressive, science-driven approaches to pet health. The Royal Canin Educational Hub is expected to open its doors to the public by early 2025, inviting pet owners and industry professionals from across the region to join in shaping a brighter, healthier future for pets in Southeast Asia.
