SINGAPORE – Singapore turns 60 this National Day and while we celebrate the nation’s diamond jubilee, four-legged friends can also join in the fun. These Singa-paw-reans have their own special promotions, from wholesome treats to sunset cruises.

Home-grown pet food manufacturer PetCubes has created several local hawker dishes for dogs and cats as part of its National Day celebration. 

Start the meal with Braised Duck Rice ($10.50), a gourmet feast made from duck meat, which supports healthy skin and muscles; duck neck, which provides natural calcium; and duck hearts rich in taurine and iron.

The duck, served with yam and brown rice, is cooked with five-spice, which is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory and cognition-boosting capabilities. 

Complete the meal with an indulgent scoop of Kaya Toast Ice Cream ($6.90) infused with pandan, a natural antioxidant that supports muscle recovery post-exercise.

All items are free of preservatives and made from 100 per cent human-grade ingredients.

The SG60 Bundle for adult dogs and cats ($60) includes a case of Braised Duck Rice (four trays), a tub of Kaya Toast Ice Cream, a packet of Chicken Breast Jerky Treats, a bottle of duck broth and a bottle of kelp supplement. 

The limited-edition SG60 National Day products are available at PetCubes online store (
