Treat Your Furbabies at This Pet-Friendly Luxe Hotel in Pasay

(SPOT.ph) Since pets are already part of our family, there's always the issue (and separation anxiety) of having to leave them behind with your friends, availing the services of a pet sitter, or entrusting them to a pet boarding facility if you're going out of town or spending the night somewhere else. It's a good thing that there are now a number of pet-friendly hotels and resorts in the country, where dogs can enjoy a weekend getaway with their hoomans. You can also take things further and bring them to a luxurious hotel that also has a special menu for pets, such as the five-star Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila in Pasay City.
