Top Activities For Dogs In The Philippines

Introduction

There are many dog breeds that live in the Philippines, and they all have one thing in common: they are loving and wonderful house pets! Common dogs that call the Philippines their home are the Beagle, Pug, Poodle, Golden Retriever, Shih Tsu, Chihuahua, Dalmatian, Labrador Retriever, Doberman, and the German Shepherd. Sounds a lot like dogs found in the US, right? If you own or are thinking about acquiring one of these dog breeds, there are activities you can do with them to make them content, either indoors or out. All of these dogs are great with families and make excellent companions. Of course, some are large, like the Doberman and the Retrievers, and do require plenty of space, but the others are smaller breeds and are adaptable to any area.

The stores in the mall that allow dogs have a large sticker on the storefront. Shopping with your dog has not been any better! You can have a great day with your dog in the city of Manila, and you don't have to worry about potty breaks or other dog amenities as they are included in the pet pass.
