Did you know that small everyday choices, like proper portioning or selecting a diet suited to your pet’s specific needs, can make a big difference in their long-term health? Understanding these essentials is key to giving our pets the happiest, healthiest lives possible.

To help families learn more, Royal Canin is inviting pet lovers, families, and pet professionals to Community Weekend 2025 on December 13 – 14 at Eastwood Open Park. The two-day event will bring the community together through fun activities, expert insights, and science-based guidance designed to spark empathy and empower responsible pet ownership for owners to make informed decisions for their pets at every stage of life.

Day 1: Puppies and Kittens Take Center Stage

Kick off the weekend with a community pet walk led by UP MV K9, followed by cool down stretch sessions. Attendees can participate in practical mini-classes on health through nutrition, psychology-based dog training for puppies, and responsible pet ownership, enjoy storybook readings, and take part in interactive games.

Free vet consultations and basic grooming services are available with the purchase of Royal Canin products. Meet partner breeders for opportunities to rehome cats and dogs. Attendees can also look forward to exclusive discounts, exciting raffles, a memorabilia photo booth, and the educational interactive game.

Day 2: Celebrating Adult and Senior Pets

The spotlight shifts to adult and senior pets, beginning with a morning walk led by Hound Haven PH. The day features informative sessions on lifelong health through nutrition, caring for aging pet companions, and psychology-based training tailored for adult pets, along with repeats of the engaging activities and opportunities from Day 1.

Experience the Royal Canin Difference

All weekend long, attendees can complete their event passport for special treats, register for the Royal Canin Club, and enter grand raffles and contests for the most creative photo and top spender awards.

Be Part of the Movement

Celebrate the unique personalities of our pets, foster lifelong habits of responsible pet ownership, and help build A Better World for Pets.
