Nowadays, dogs and cats are more than just pets. They’re family. I, for instance, bring my poodle Fiffy with me wherever I go. Whether it is in the mall or the famous hundred islands, Fiffy’s little paws have reached them. What is comforting to know is that I am not the only dog owner who treats his or her pet this way. A number of pet-friendly resorts near Manila have recognised this trend and since made efforts to make their establishments more accessible to pet parents and their fur babies.
