All the essential, adorable and edible must haves from Tiendesitas Pet Village
MANILA, Philippines — Through easy and tough times, you can always count on your pets for companionship, comfort, and cheer. They stay without judgment and suspicion, and are only happy to see you, any time of the day.
Owning pets is so beneficial that they can, in fact, even help you live longer.
In a recent study, pet ownership—of dogs, for example—has been associated to reduce mortality by 24%, as opposed to non-ownership. Separate research suggests that even just watching cat videos online leads to better emotion regulation.
These are just a few good reasons why pet owners should treat their pets with the utmost care, whether feline, canine, and everything else in between.
For existing pet owners and those planning on having their own fur babies, Tiendesitas Pet Village is the perfect place to visit. With several stores ready to cater to all your pet needs, you’d be hardpressed to look anywhere else.
Here are just some of the Pet Village stores you can visit, and all the must-haves they offer:
1. Pampered pets at Petville Hotel
Much like real parents, you want trusted friends and family to look after our pets when we are out or away. But what if none of them are available? Thankfully at Petville, you can rest easy.
“We’ve been in the pet care and grooming business since 2011, and the emergence of pet hotels is a relatively novel concept in the country, and there is now a growing demand. We at Petville offer daycare services in Metro Manila so that their owners can leave their pets with us during their busy schedules,” said Brian Chua, proprietor of Petville.
The business also offers specialized services, depending on the specific needs of their pets, like frequency of feeding, playtime, and so on.

2. Professional shots by PetSnaps Studio
Pets often do stuff that just makes you go “aww.” They have unexpected expressions and cute acts that can melt your heart and make your day. As is often said about children, furbabies themselves also grow up so fast.

4. All for pet satisfaction by PetCo.
After thorough research and having come from different international fair trades in and out Asia, young entrepreneurs Camille Vera and Kriselda Barbasa opened PetCo. in 2016.
Being pet owners themselves, Vera and Barbasa hope to convey animal compassion and understand how this translates to different pet parenting lifestyles. That is why PetCo. offers a wide selection of unique specialty pet finds—from essentials to limited pieces—that suit every pet and bring satisfaction to all pet parent patrons in the Metro.
Bestsellers: Onesies, Cat condo
5. Organic is also best for pets – Pawfect!
Edward Limoanco established Pawfect 15 years ago in Tiendesitas, specializing in pet care needs and good quality, organic trade goods that are sourced from European countries, like France and Germany.
Being in the business of show dogs and having competed as an exhibitor himself for the last 30 years, Limoanco naturally advocates for animal health and knows more about pet care than your average fur parent. Because of this, he has earned the trust of the store’s long-time clientele when it comes to pet-rearing needs.
“We’ve been here for 15 years, and we’re doing well because we have a lot of customers who trust us to take care of their dogs. We don’t force them to buy things they don’t need. With our years and years of experience and know-how, we know what’s good for our customers’ pets, so we know what to tell them when they consult with us,” he said.
Best-sellers: Pet food, organic shampoo
6. Adorable accessories by Dogaholics
For nine years since 2010, Dogaholic Petshop has been providing customers apparel and supplies of the best quality. Storeowner Minda Baldo, who was originally specializing in dog supplies, has evolved the store to cater to the needs of other pets: cats and other small animals, like hamsters and rabbits—including all manner of accessories.
Most notable of these are their leashes, and cute dog “jerseys” in time for the basketball season.
