Dog Boarding, what is that? Who do you turn to when you need to go and travel without your pets?

Don’t You Wish You Can Always Bring Your Pet With You?

Part Of The Family

A pet is like  a family member.  You have to take care of their needs and wants.

You have to feed them, keep them clean, make sure they have a comfortable place to sleep and also to keep them company.

Vacations With Pets or Dog Boarding?

I see a lot of people bringing their pets with them to the office, malls and even when they travel on their vacations.

Quite a lot use their cars to travel with pets.  Some hand carry them on public transportation. There are others who even get private jets to assure comfort.

There was even one who couldn’t bring her pets to a famous beach by plane,  she decided to take a boat with them going there.

Medical Needs

Some of our senior pets may already need special attention.  Maybe they need medicine given to them once or twice daily.

You might not have someone at home to do that for you.  Maybe you can’t take them with you where you’re going.

Proper Dog Boarding for Your Loved Ones

Take advantage of Pet Boarding Facilities.

Taking your pets with you or leaving them home may not be an option for you. What to do?

It would probably be best to look for a place where you feel that your furbaby will be taken cared of.

Questions that come into your mind:

• Will my baby be comfortable?
• Will he be safe?
• Am I sure that the humans that will take care of him or her are capable?
• In case of an emergency, will the facility be able to give the proper medical attention?

Know what important questions to ask regarding Pet Boarding.

There are lots more,  but those are the main things that you are looking for.

They saved our first shih-tzu dog 25 years ago when he was still a puppy, he is over the rainbow 🌈 now – Buddy lived 15 wonderful years with us. Since then we never look for any vet clinic or hospital. Doctors are very professional and they know what they’re doing. If you have a very sick pet or need emergency attention go to this place because you can guarantee that they will look after your furry pets. They have a pet pharmacy for medicines, pet toiletries, and dietary food. All our dogs completed their vaccines here and we truly appreciate their service!

Is Makati Vet Home Service true?

With the various offerings of convenience in today’s society, you would like to wish for Vets to come to your house as well.  This would be a great service you will opt for instead of dealing with the traffic, not to mention handling your pets. 

But you do not have to look too far. Makati Dog and Cat Hospital has been offering Vet Home Service for awhile already. As for now we do not have a mobile hospital but we can go to your residence and visit your pets. This eliminates the preparation for you and your pet as well as the time spent on travel back and forth.

Like anything in this world, there are a few services we can offer under the Vet Home Service. Here they are:

0 Why You Should Opt For Pet Boarding Facilities In Your Area During The Holidays

When you are a pet owner, you have probably heard of pet boarding facilities that you can use when you are away. 

Or you are not sure about boarding your pet for you prefer to leave your pets with friends and relatives?

But what if all your trusted family members and relatives are out of town for holiday merry making?

Well, in this scenario, your best option is to try one of the pet boarding facilities in your area.

Leaving your pet in a dog or cat boarding facility is a great decision and the start of having peace of mind and enjoying more your trips.

Why is that? You may ask. Let me lay out to you the great benefits when you take advantage of these boarding facilities.

Pet Boarding Facilities: Pet Professionals Are Looking After Your Pet

In a pet boarding facility, it is a given that the people who will take care of your pet are professionals. They are trained how to handle pets and their personalities. So no matter how tame or diva your pet can be, the pet handlers know how to make your pets feel at home.

Your Pet Is Up To Date With Vaccinations

One of the reasons you and your pet can benefit in boarding your pet is that your pet will have updated vaccination shots. Why? Because pet boarding facilities require that before boarding your pet, vaccines are up to date and your pet should have protection against ticks and fleas. 

You would not want to bring back your dog or cat back to your home and see ticks and fleas all over him. Just as the other pet owners do not want to see their pets with ticks and fleas as well because your pet was bringing them in. It’s a win-win situation really. Your pet and their pets go home happy and healthy.

Your Pet Can Avail of Check-up And Grooming

Since you let your pet check-in at one of the boarding facilities, why not get him to be checked and groomed as well? This way you do not have to go back and forth just to for check-ups and grooming.

So there, now you know why you should take advantage of pet boarding facilities when you travel for business or for holiday get-aways.

Pro Tip: Too far from pet boarding facilities? We offer Pet Pick-up and Delivery for your pet. This means we can get your pet from your house prior to boarding and bring back your pet when you are back from your trip. Yes, there’s a service charge for it but it will be less hassle for you.

0 Pet Boarding: Getting Popular in The Philippines Especially During Holidays

If you are a pet owner in the big cities, one of the perks is having a pet boarding facility nearby. If the vet is far from you, they also offer pet pick up and delivery. You might have heard of Grab pets as well to take your pet to the vet. 

More Pet Boarding Facilities In The Philippines

Dog or cat boarding facilities are on the rise in the Philippines. This is because more people live on their own and far from their families. Such conveniences have started to spur up and can be made use by pet owners looking for a hassle free holiday vacation.

If you are a pet owner for a long time, leaving pets behind while you take business trips or vacation getaways can be burdensome. Of course, this can pose no problem if you have family members left behind who can take care of the pets. Or even friends who are willing to babysit for your pets. Even great neighbors can do the caring for you so you do not have to worry.

But in bigger cities, more often than not, you live alone in a place where you barely know your neighbors. That’s why dog and cat boarding is offered to busy people like you so going away will be easier for you while leaving your pets.

0 Typhoon Survival for Your Pets

Typhoon season is here and everyone is preparing for these storms as they come.

People nowadays are more vigilant in preparing, more so for super typhoons like Ompong.

Have you included the safety of your pets in your preparation?

Instead of talking about pet grooming as I promised in my last post, I decided to write this to share some tips on typhoon survival for your pets.

Typhoon Survival for Your Pets

Chuvaness.com, one of our local food bloggers had a timeless article on this topic.  Her post is based on the tips of the World Animal Protection:

Here’s the most important excerpt from her blog:

What to prepare for your pets:

1. Food. Store at least three days of non-perishable pet food (canned or dried) in an airtight, waterproof container (remember the can opener!). Ideally this should be the same food as your normally feed your pet so as to avoid stomach upsets.

2. Water. Store at least three days of water for your pet, in addition to the water you need for your family (remember an animal can drink more water than usual when under stress). Plus you will need extra water to clean up after your pet.

3. Medicines. Store any extra supply of medicines your pet needs in a waterproof container, as well as any special dietary needs or supplements.

4. Veterinary/Medical Records. Store copies of any medical and vaccination records in a watertight container or ziplock bag including your vet’s name and telephone number (in case you have to shelter your pet or place them in foster care).

5. First Aid Kit. Prepare a first aid kit. Talk to your vet about any specific requirements such as tick/flea prevention, antibiotic ointment and saline solution (i.e. eye wash solution separate from your family use)

0 Why You Should Take Advantage Of A Pet Boarding Facility

Have you hear of a pet boarding facility? If you are a pet lover and have someone to watch over your pet while you are away, probably not.

But what if one day, you have to take a trip and everyone else in the house also are going away? Or you have to go on a family vacation and cannot bring your pet along?

What should you do? One option is to leave your pet with a friend. But how sure are you that your pet will be taken cared of the way you want to? Your friend has to leave his or her place to work and go out with friends.

You know, life happens.

Do you know that you have a better option?

Nowadays, a popular way to leave your pet behind in a secure and safe place is availing of a pet boarding facility.

Pet boarding facilities is like a hotel for dogs and cats. You leave your pet under the care of pet care professionals for one day or more.

Why not just leave your pets with a friend or relative?

Sure you can do that if you have friends and relatives you can trust. But if you are in a place where you have few and far in between friends as well as relatives then you just have the answer.

No need to worry and panic just thinking who will take care of your pet while you take a business trip or vacation. Or your mind drifting away while you are in a far away place wondering if your pet has eaten or has exercised for the day.

Experience a worry free vacation because you allowed your pet to be in the hands of pet care professionals.

You can enjoy the trip knowing that your furbaby is well cared for.

Are you having a business trip or family vacation soon? Contact Makati Dog and Cat Hospital for pet boarding facility services.

Call Ms. Mina or Ms. Diane for bookings and reservations.

0 3 Pet Boarding Essentials You Should Not Forget When Leaving Your Pet in A Pet Boarding Facility

What are the pet boarding essentials? This can be a question that runs through your head. As a possible long weekend is ahead, you are playing with the idea of taking a vacation without your pet.

You already found the pet boarding facility that suits you and your pet’s needs. Now what?

What are the necessary steps you should take before boarding your pet? Are there any requirements or certain preparations to accomplish?

Wonder no more! This article will tell you the basics when boarding your cat or dog.

Here are the 3 pet boarding essentials:

Up To Date Vaccination

Your pet should have up to date vaccination before boarding your pet. If not, you can talk to the vet to update the needed vaccinations before boarding starts.

When your pet’s vaccination is complete, you are sure that it is protected from infection from other pets. And you are ensured that the other pets will not also infect your pet as they are vaccinated as well.

Flea And Tick Prevention

Aside from infections, you want to prevent fleas and ticks from attacking your pet. Or making your pet a carrier of fleas and ticks that can spread to other pet boarders.

Nothing can discourage a responsible pet parent like you when you fetch your pet and found out fleas and ticks making a home on your pet’s skin.

Pet Food

Your pet’s food is one of the important pet boarding essentials. Pet boarding facilities do not provide food as pets can have specific food requirement.

You can also include your pet’s favorite toy or blankie especially if it is their first time to stay in a pet boarding facility.

Now you know what to prepare before boarding your pet. Knowing the pet boarding essentials will make it easier for you and your pet.
