For some reason, not all parks welcome pets. And needless to say, not all shopping malls are pet-friendly either. We don’t want you heading to a place with your beloved furkid to just be shooed away. So, here’s a list of pet-friendly spots in Makati where you can bring your dog for a walk, worry-free.
