Ever since I became a fur parent, I now understand of how our pets can give invaluable joy in our lives. They become part of our family and have a place in our hearts. We treat them like our children, much like how we take care and give love to our children.
Now that I have pets, I have now to consider them wherever we go. There were limitations as to where we go including our out of town getaways. I always have to consider the hotels/accomodations we book if they are pet friendly or else, I would veer away from them. Now that more families have pets, I guess it is a high time for establishments to be pet friendly.
The Ascott Limited’s Somerset Olympia Makati celebrated its
first Puppy Hour last April 30, 2019. In line with the international celebration of pet month, Somerset Olympia Makati celebrated the value of
pet ownership that brought together dog owners, bloggers, and a non-profit organization in raising
awareness for a good cause.
The participants had a chance to tour around the facilities of the serviced-residence together with their
dogs as Somerset Olympia Makati is the first pet-friendly property of The Ascott Limited in the
Philippines.
Ms. Susan Salcedo, The Ascott Limited Philippines’ City Manager said, “Because there are only a few
pet-friendly properties in the hospitality industry in our country, Somerset Olympia Makati offers a
home for your pets”.
“Moreover, we are not just your mere serviced-residence because our service is perfect for those
travelers or families who would not want to leave their pets in the corners of their homes” Salcedo
added.
The said event also discussed the current state of the lives of military working dogs (MWD) and
contract working dogs (CWD) in the Philippines through the invited guest speakers and founders of
Hound Haven Philippines, Maxin Arcebal, CEO and Chelsea Pecson, COO.
The success of Puppy Hour was made possible by its partners namely Fur Magic, Sleeky, St. Roche,
Nutram, Bow House, Pet Express, Vitality, and Whole Pet Kitchen.
