Adoption Drive

The highly anticipated adoption drive, organized by the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), and supported by Animal Welfare Group (AWG) Partners is back at PetExpo 2022!

Previous years’ reception was very successful, with many rescued animals given a second chance to find their forever home.

If you’re looking to add a new member to your loving family, you don’t have to look far! There are all types of animals available at the drive, from fluffy bunnies to adorable dogs. Not sure what animals suit you? Feel free to ask the staff or volunteers that are ready to answer any questions.

Note: Being a pet owner is never easy, with many responsibilities that follow. Hence, AWGs do hold screening processes to ensure the welfare of these animals.

Pawjourr Reviews: Proteger Nature Enzyme Toothpaste

This article was brought to you by Pet Lovers Centre.

There’s nothing more telling of poor grooming than bad oral hygiene. It rings true for humans, and even more so for your pawpals. Keeping your pets’ chompers clean and healthy ensures they have the strength to live freely and eat the food they want. With that in mind, good pawrenting means taking care of teeth and gums on the regular to prevent bacterial build-ups — which is exactly what Proteger Nature Enzyme Toothpaste brings to the table.

Proteger Technology 

To give your pets the best in oral protection, Proteger’s toothpaste is made with five naturally-occurring enzymes/protein: Amylase, Glucose Oxidase, Lactoperoxidase, Lysozyme, and Lactoferrin. These ingredients in unison provide an anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory defense that can combat tooth decay.

Proteger Nature Enzyme Toothpaste also employs Pearl Powder, which contains all the vital amino acids needed to maintain a healthy furbody:

  • Helps to repair enamel in teeth
  • Rich in essential amino acids

Made for cats & dogs

“We’ve always been on the lookout for a good brand of toothpaste that Theodore would like, and we might have found it in Proteger! ? He likes the smell and seems to enjoy it when we brush his teeth during recording. ?” – Theodore_the_japanesespitz

Proteger’s highly effective formula is also non-rinse and food-grade (not to mention chicken flavoured!), so it can double as a nutritious paste for your furbaby to consume. Unlike most toothpaste for hoomans, the Nature Enzyme Toothpaste is made free of substances like Xylitol, Fluorite, Triclosan, and Tea Tree Oil that would be extremely harmful to dogs and cats.

Usage Guidelines

Why should I brush my pets’ teeth?

Proteger puts your pets’ hygiene at the center of their innovative strategies when it comes to making dental care easier for pet owners to carry out. If left unaddressed, poor dental hygiene will cause a plethora of problems, including:

  • Gum inflammation
  • Organ disease 
  • Weight and appetite loss

How often should I brush my pets’ teeth?

The best way to protect your pets’ dental health is to brush their teeth once a day or at least three times a week to remove plaque and prevent tartar from accumulating. Just apply the toothpaste onto the teeth and gums and massage it gently. If you have a feline pawpal, you can also consider just putting the toothpaste onto their paw for them to lick off!

Where can I buy Proteger Nature Enzyme Toothpaste?

Adopt the good habit of brushing your furbabies’ teeth regularly and purchase your first tube of Proteger Nature Enzyme Toothpaste from any Pet Lovers Centre outlet store. Visit Pet Lovers Centre to find a store near you, or make your purchase from their online store!

A heart of gold — Pet Lovers Foundation’s 14th Annual Pet Food Drive 2021

This Christmas season, everyone is excited to extend a hand and respond to the spirit of giving. What better way to give back to the community than to share a bowl (of food) with those who need it the most? Pet Lovers Centre and Pet Lovers Foundation are organising their annual fundraising event  — The 14th Annual Pet Food Drive 2021 — to lend support to three Animal Welfare Groups (AWGs) in Singapore.

This pet food drive provides a fresh opportunity for all of us to serve our less-than-fortunate four-legged friends by contributing whatever food we can. Let us remember the pawpals who can’t speak for themselves and have nobody to care for them save a few generous hearts like yours.

About the organisers

Pet Lovers Foundation

Set up in 2009, Pet Lovers Foundation is the first non-profit organisation in Singapore that aims to help animal welfare organisations in Singapore. Besides contributing financially to them, Pet Lovers Foundation also helps them raise funds through jointly developed and organised programmes and activities.

Pet Lovers Centre

Pet Lovers Centre (PLC) is collectively the largest and only pet care retail chain in South East Asia. A household name today, PLC has become the standard-bearer for responsible pet ownership. The retail chain offers the widest and freshest range of products, continuing to delight pet owners and pets alike ever since its founding in 1973.

Meet the beneficiaries

1. Animal Lovers League

Animal Lovers League (ALL) aims to encourage the public to adopt instead of buying animals, and endeavour to rejoin the animals at ALL with loving and committed families. In addition to feeding strays, ALL also brings animals for veterinary check-ups when they are sick or injured, to vaccinate them against illnesses, and to neuter/sterilise them.

2. Cat Welfare Society

The Cat Welfare Society (CWS) aims to make Singapore a stray-free country and prevent the inhumane culling of cats. Their work includes community mediation and frontline intervention, community cat population management, as well as education, outreach, and advocacy.

3. Mercylight Animal Rescue & Sanctuary Limited

Mercylight Animal Rescue And Sanctuary Limited holds a strong desire to care for animals by helping them find the right homes. The group promotes compassion for animals through the provision of animal welfare services and the prevention of cruelty to animals.

Here’s how you can help

Last year’s pet food drive was a resounding success. The beneficiaries of the pet food drive received a whopping $653,332 in contributions — that’s 39,908kg of pet food pledged! This year, Pet Lovers Centre and Pet Lovers Foundation hope to match or even better that value. Your help will come in handy.

For the 14th Annual Pet Food Drive, the chosen premium pet foods are:

  • 1st Choice
  • Burp!
  • Fish4Cats
  • Fish4Dogs

Simply go to any Pet Lovers Centre and The Pet Safari stores to pledge these products. Alternatively, you can call 1-800-PET-FOOD (1-800-738-3663) or pledge online through here. Contributions are open from 26 November to 12 December, so don’t miss out on it!

All food pledged will be ordered fresh after the campaign and ready in Q2 2022.  Beneficiaries will feed the animals in the shelters with the contributed pet food and share it with other smaller AWGs, as well as fosterers and cat caregivers.

Here are two wrap-up videos from our former beneficiaries, Causes for Animals Singapore and Cat Welfare Society.
