Every last Sunday of April is observed as Pet Parents Day. It’s like Mother’s and Father’s Day rolled into one, big celebration!
However, unlike Father’s and Mother’s Day when the parents are honored and oftentimes, treated to a gift or fancy dinner, Pet Parents Day is about acknowledging your role as a responsible pet owner and sharing a special day with your fur-babies.
We’ve seen dogs, cats—even a goat one time—frequent malls and other lifestyle destinations on weekends. Before the big day, we present nine places where you can take your pets out for some good times, maybe some pet-friendly good and fresh air:
Casa de Moalboal (Basdiot, Moalboal)
Drive all the way to the southern town of Moalboal and check out this pet-friendly resort! Your doggos will particularly enjoy the beach and meeting the resort’s resident doggos, too!
AYO AYO Cafe & Sauna (44 Emilio Osmeña Street, Guadalupe)
Not all dates have to be at night! Check out this place when you want to enjoy a sauna session or a quick snack during afternoons. Meet its own resident pet muse, a Golden Retriever named Given.
Acacia Steakhouse (Green Valley Subdivision, Acacia Street, Capitol Hills)
If you’re feeling like going out for a wine and dine evening with your partner, you can relish the fact that Acacia Steakhouse is fine with you tagging your pet along for the night.
