In the 2017 statistics of the Singapore Kennel Club, there are approximately 62,000 dogs in Singapore. As the country’s dog population continues to rise, there is also an increase in pet-friendly places around Singapore. Pet cats and dogs are social creatures and they thrive when they are able to spend time bonding and interacting with their pet owners regularly. Unfortunately, today’s busy lifestyles often make it a challenge to spend time with pets. In order to meet this basic need, pet parents should find ways to spend quality time with their pets. Luckily, there are now many pet-friendly establishments ranging from cafes to malls and even parks that are easily accessible.
Proper planning is the key for a hassle-free day out with your pet. You need to pick out a good collar and leash, and a great outfit to boot! And don’t forget your responsibility in cleaning up after your pet. Arm yourself with pet wipes and poop bags so you can dispose of waste properly.
