88DB.com enhances portal for pet lovers

MANILA, Philippines - Over the past few decades, Hollywood has had a major influence on Filipino lifestyle, including having pets. As such, to some, pets have become glamorous and fashionable accessories. Others even consider it a status symbol to own the more expensive toy dogs, such as the Chinese Crested Hairless Puppies, Maltese and Yorkshire Terrier. For most Filipinos, however, having pets is more about love and companionship than anything else.  

Filipinos are spending more time and money for their pets’ food, veterinary services, clothes, grooming and training, just to name a few, to make sure that their pets are in tip-top shape.

Because of this, 88DB.com decided to enhance its Pet channel and come up with a comprehensive listing of pet-related products and services for pet-lovers.

The 88DB Pet channel also features pets for adoption and a list of veterinary clinics for emergencies and consultations. It also has interesting photos and videos of featured pet animals and their celebrity owners.

Pet owners who want their pets to be featured in the website are welcome to submit their photos or videos. One can also find helpful information such as pet-friendly malls, animal facts and trivia and tips for proper pet care.

88DB.com also partnered with the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) to enrich the channel’s content by providing articles and guidelines on animal rights and welfare. PAWS hotlines can also be found for concerned citizens to report animal abuse.

“I’m encouraging all pet lovers to visit the site because it is highly informative and very helpful to those who are looking for products and services that will aid them in caring for their beloved pets,” says Racquel Cagurangan, general manager of 88DB.com.

“Our pet channel is a collaboration of creative minds, including the contribution from NGOs like PAWS and the business owners who are not just into gaining profit but making sure that animal welfare is on top of the agenda,” she adds.

The 88DB Pet channel is not just a site for business listing, but also serves as an online pet magazine that offers Internet surfers interesting reads and finds.

As the demand for pet-related products, services and features further grow in the Philippines, 88DB.com will deliver not only the latest but the best for its loyal and future visitors.

88DB.com is the Philippines’ first rich media service classified ad portal created to provide large companies, small-and-medium enterprises, organizations and freelancers a venue to promote their products or services online.

It is a one-stop shop for online advertising services from ad listings to banner ads, e-mail broadcasts and Web hosting. With over 200,000 member-advertisers, it provides consumers comprehensive choices of products and services.
