(SPOT.ph) It’s always hard to leave your beloved fur babies behind—whether it’s just for eight hours or a whole week. You’ll keep on worrying about them every second of every day you’re not at home with them. Fortunately, pet hotels and boarding houses are everywhere in the Metro, so you could at least have peace of mind knowing that your dogs and cats are not alone and are being well taken care of. One of the places you should consider visiting with your pets is Barkhaus, a pet hotel, boarding house, and a whole lot more. It currently has two branches: one at Eastwood Mall in Quezon City; and another at Estancia Mall in Pasig City.
