If you’re a pet owner, you don’t need us to tell you how important our pets are in our lives. Unfortunately, topics such as animal cruelty and the welfare of stray animals aren’t often talked about enough despite being prevalent in our nation.

Well, you’ll be glad to know that there’s an event where you can:

  • Help raise awareness on issues such as animal cruelty, responsible pet ownership, and rabies awareness.
  • Surround yourself with over 700 super adorable doggos as you take part in exciting activities, games and a race.
  • Snag FREE samples from various high-profile companies in the pet industry and much more!

Known as Dogathon, the event is run by University Putra Malaysia’s Veterinary Medicine faculty students. As reported by The Star, Dogathon first started in 1997 as a platform to address the issue of stray dogs.

Since then, it has grown to be the largest canine gathering event in Malaysia with over 700 adorable doggos reported at last year’s event!

Just look at all these good bois. ER-MAH-GERD!
