Is the Pet Express Doggie Fun Run 2025 Worth It? Here’s What We Got From a ₱1.5K Race Kit!

What to Expect at the Pet Express Doggie Fun Run 2025: Our Honest Review

The Pet Express Doggie Fun Run 2025 is easily one of the biggest and most exciting dog-friendly events in Manila this year. Held annually, this dog fun run attracts thousands of furparents and their pets to celebrate wellness, bonding, and lots (we mean LOTS) of freebies! This year, I joined the fun run with my dog Ollie, and here’s a peek at the insane amount of goodies we brought home. This is actually our second time joining a doggie fun run in Manila. Our first one was Mcdo's Stripes Fun Run Fur Strips category. You may click HERE if you wanna get to know it too.

Massive Freebies You’ll Get – Even with the 1.5K Race Kit Just take a look at this haul – this isn’t even the full set of what some participants got, and yet it already feels like I hit the jackpot! We’re talking about dog treats, food samples, vitamins, shampoo, toys, and pet care essentials. Pet brands spotted in our freebies: • Goodest by Pet Express • JerHigh • SmartHeart • Absolute Holistic • Trustie • Pet One • Doggo • Pawtitas • Zeal • Bocce’s Bakery • Nature’s Protection • Brit Care • Vet’s Best • Wanpy • Cosiest Pets • Luvin’ Tails • Kangaroo Treats • Peanut Pup • Holistic Recipe • Barkery • Green Tea Shampoo (generic sample) …and more!

Some booths even gave away dog beds and travel carriers. It got so crowded in that area, I couldn’t even carry my dog anymore because I had so many bags of goodies on me. People were elbow-to-elbow, but thankfully, fellow pet owners were kind and careful – making sure pets didn’t get stepped on in the crowd!

What’s the Program Like? The event started as early as 5AM, and thanks to good weather (thank you, Lord!), everything went smoothly. Sadly, we had to leave by 7AM to attend a separate media event, so we missed the awarding ceremony and celebrity performances. Still, I’m not complaining — the overall experience was super fun and well-organized, and Ollie had the time of his life running around and meeting new furry friends.

Pro Tip for First-Time Joiners: Be super early. Most freebies are on a first-come, first-served basis. Booths run out fast, especially the ones giving premium pet products like dog beds, treats, and accessories. The earlier you arrive, the more booths you’ll be able to explore!

Is the Pet Express Doggie Fun Run Worth It? 100% YES. Even just for the freebies alone, your ₱1,500 is completely worth it. It’s almost like everything was free. If you’re considering joining the ₱3,000 or ₱5,000 categories, expect an even bigger haul and premium perks.

This event is perfect for anyone looking for: • A dog fun run in Manila • Pet-friendly events and meetups • Bonding activities with your dog • Freebies and product samples for furparents • Connecting with the local pet-loving community

Huge Thanks to Pawplife! We wouldn’t have had this experience if not for Pawplife, who gave our race kit prize – thank you so much for the opportunity!
