4 Dog Day Cares in Makati to Pamper Your Dog While You’re Away
Many loving pet owners feel guilty about leaving town even just for a few days when they’re not able to bring their dogs along. It is normal (and very sweet) to be concerned of your furbaby’s welfare when you are not around. You should not, however, deprive yourself of a nice vacation that you deserve for working hard in your job or business.
If you will be away for a few days or a long vacation, you don’t have to worry about your pet anymore. Here are some trusted dog day care centers in Makati that will make sure your dog enjoys its time while you enjoy yours.
PlayBow
PlayBow Inc. is composed of dog lovers, professional dog handlers, and vets, who know a lot about different dog personalities and behaviors and how to handle them.

To reassure pet owners, PlayBow gives a report card about how the day went for one’s dog. They even share photo and video updates from time to time. Located in Bel-Air Makati, PlayBow is very accessible from Makati Central Business District.
