Dogs are every man’s best friend. We treat them like equals and give them the same treatment we give to our family. Dogs reward our care and love with loyalty and friendship, even braving the odds just to keep their master away from harm.

In this time and day, dogs have elevated their position in family homes. Gone are the days when they just functioned as life guards. In a way, they have now become an extension of their master’s identity and personality. Think Paris Hilton and Tinkerbell. Or better yet, Elle Woods and Bruiser. These pooches mirror the personal taste of their handlers, from posh cribs to sophisticated ensembles.

However, their crib is sometimes put into question when the need and impulse to travel arises. Not everyone has the moolah to get travel with their pooches via private plane, nor do most malls allow pets in their premises.

Majority of the time, dogs are left to friends or neighbors who we do not intend to bother with the responsibilities and work load of a caretaker. Each dog lover has a different standard in caring for their pets, and your dog’s temporary handlers might get too worried over not being able to provide what your dog is accustomed to. I have heard of people having sleepless nights, worrying about a friend’s pet in their custody, or about their own dogs under an inexperienced caretaker.

Fitness and playgroup activities in the Fitness Club also ensure that your pets are fit and well-socialized with other guests, so they won’t feel too lonely during your absence.

 

They are guided through an hour of fitness session and supervised activities that stimulate their agility and coordination skills, added with a moderate cardio exercise to keep them in proper shape and health.
