Petto Mart Is The New 24-Hour Emergency Pet Hospital in Makati
If there’s one thing pet owners and animal rescuers badly need in the Philippines, it’s a bigger selection of reputable 24-hour emergency pet hospitals. When I say pet hospital, I mean fully-staffed with functioning medical equipment, such as ultrasound, 2D echo, surgery gear, and diagnostic labs. There are a number of 24-hour emergency pet hospitals […]
Beware of Fake & Parallel Import Himalaya Products (Nefrotec, Liv. 52, and Immunol)
Pet owners in the Philippines, beware of unauthorized (parallel import) and fake Himalaya products, such as Nefrotec, Liv. 52, and Immunol. I used to buy them, too. You can’t blame pet owners and rescuers like myself who want to save a little money when purchasing pet supplies. I have many rescue dogs and cats. At […]
My Rescue Dogs Rescued Me
I didn’t intend to have this many dogs and cats. Until 2011, there was only one dog in my life—Kyle. He was the son of my first dog Barkley, a purebred champion bloodline Shih Tzu who died in 2005. Kyle was a Shmoodle who was the king of our home, the king of my heart. […]

[Vlog] Cats of Athens
The first thing I noticed when I went to Athens for the first time is… They have a lot of cute stray cats! The good side is: These cats are pampered by tourists and animal welfare groups. They’re the guardians of tourists spots like the Acropolis and the official rodent hunters of the parks. The […]
Dog & Cat Expo 2017: Much Doge, Such Wow!
Pet Express has been organizing the Dog and Cat Expo for years now, but it was my first time to attend this year. Boy have I been missing out! I decided to leave all my 8 dogs and 8 cats at home and do all the shopping by myself. Surrounded by hundreds of dogs, cats, […]
5 Things I Love About The Dog Spa
I’ve been raising dogs since 1996, and like a good human I’ve scouted Metro Manila for the best pet supply stores, grooming centers, and dog hotels (which was an alien concept in the Philippines back in the day). I go to Spot A for affordable dog food and supplies, Spot B for grooming, and Spot […]
