Katrina Razon's Abyssinian guinea pigs, Ebb and Flow, are named after their yogi mother's favourite hobby. These adorable guinea pigs are set apart from other breeds by their swirls of hair or rosettes (which can also look like cowlicks). They're also known to be very friendly, although perhaps a little demanding of attention. Though they can be vocal, they're also very curious creatures and make great show pets or companions. 

Tim Yap is often seen spoiling his adorable troupe of pomeranians. However, this fur dad also has a special place in his heart for Lucky, his African grey parrot. Though their colours aren't as ostentatious as that of other parrots, African greys are among the smartest birds on the planet and are great at mimicry. Research has shown their cognitive ability equals that of a 5-year-old child!

Susana Madrigal has many pets, among them a school of beautiful koi fish. While there is the downside of not being able to physically connect with fish, Madrigal maintains that these pets remind her of very valuable life lessons every day. "Through my koi, I am reminded that life is fleeting," she shares, "and that we must never be too attached to anything—no matter how much you take care of your koi, they are frail and sensitive creatures, they can sometimes die suddenly."

Everyone is in love with the Bolzico family pets. While their dog, Pochola, and their cat, El Gato, seem to have taken the spotlight, it's difficult to forget who the original family pets were: Patato and Pechuga, the family's redfoot tortoises. Native to South America, these tortoises show beautiful colour gradations on their head and feet. They're also very easy to maintain and can live up to 50 years—perfect for first-time pet owners!
