I for one tend to agree since bio was the least interesting science subject in my high school curriculum, yes I love science I'm a nerd because of it. I used to love going to pet stores as a kid. Sure it always had that weird funky smell, but so what? You'd get to see all these cute and fluffy animals for just a little bit of tolerance. Bio Research is still a nice place to visit for the simple reason that there are only a few pet stores left in the country. A lot of stores actually specialize in selling accessories or food for dogs or cats, but few actually sell animals. Bio Research sells fish, birds, and even animals as exotic as salamanders. If you have a kid who's bored and you're broke, feel free to take them here. It's what my mom used to do to help me pass the time. If you're allergic to birds, I recommend you stay far away.

Being a dog owner most of my life, I'm fond of shopping for my pets. While I usually get the basic…read moredog supplies like shampoo and dog food from my neighborhood pet stores and veterinarians, I usually turn to the mall for special gifts for other occasions (such as Christmas and the dog's birthday). Yes, it may seem weird but we usually give gifts to our pets since they are part of the family. One of my favorite stores to buy from is Bow & Wow. They have really high-quality items for all types of furry friends. Whether you are looking for doggie beds, cat houses, scratching posts, clothes, chew toys and even gourmet food, you can find it all here. What I usually get from this store are the grooming products that are more difficult to find in pet stores like nail cutters, nail files, doggie toothbrush and toothpaste and the like. Oh and if you have champion breed dogs that require a special diet for dog shows, this is where you can get organic food that can keep their fur all nice and shiny.

My friend, Ava and her cat, Bubu, accompanied me to Bow and Wow last Wednesday. Ava pointed out the different food I should be getting for my cat and what the food does for the cat. I can still hear her telling me, "If you want the cat to be lean, get this. But if you want that cat to be cute and fat, get this other one." The don't just have food, they also have toys for the cat. Different toys! I felt like I was buying toys for a baby! After looking at the toys for some time, Ava showed me the grooming stuff for the cats. I never thought that I had to spray them just so they smell good and so that the flees won't get to them. I'm going back to this store today to buy lots of food for my cat and some more toys for it also. I'm hoping the items will be worth it as it is pretty pricey here.

They have rabbits, rats, hamsters, dogs and chickens up for sale. I wanted to buy them all. Except the rats. The shelves of the shop are filled with items for dogs and food for dogs. Their staff just told me that they didn't have food for cats and to come back on another day. But for those who have dogs, this place just might have what you're looking for.

And the puppies in there looked so miserable it broke my heart a little, but I guess that's with any pet store. For the rest, they have a wide range of food supplies and they also sold pigeons for 1000 php which I thought was a little funny.

Each time I grab a bite to eat, I usually stand in front of their window display while watching the caged dogs (sometimes there's even a cat) and finishing my sandwich or whatever. When I went inside their store, and checked out what they sell for dogs, I noticed that the selection was quite limited. They only sold a few accessories and treats. But what I appreciated is that they cater to more kinds of animals. Unlike the other pet stores that focus mainly on dogs and cats, they also have accessories and feeds for rabbits, guinea pigs and birds. They also sell aquariums and other accessories for our aquatic friends. So I guess that can be considered as the strength of this jack-of-all trades pet shop.

I didn't even know that it existed until the time I passed by it on the way to the parking lot. Bow & Wow is definitely not your ordinary pet supply store. Most, if not all, of their pet food and treats are all-natural and organic. For me, this means two things. First that it is better and healthier for our pets and second, that it's pricier than the usual dog food. As a parent of three dogs, I only want what's best for them so there I times, if the budget allows, that I get their treats from here. So if you if you have the extra bucks to spare for the optimum health of your furbabies, then this place is a perfect stop for you. Besides, being a pet owner is a responsibility and a commitment and the expenses are all part of it.

I do like the selection of food they have here. And everything is a high quality and healthier alternative. The good thing is that the staff seem to know a lot about the different kinds of pet food and they are always eager to help. Because this brand doesn't have any competitors in the Philippines they are able to price themselves at a premium. They overcharge. Which I guess they have a right to do, but as a consumer, when you know you can buy the product from the USA at 1/3 of the price, it gets on your nerves a bit. Also they should give the membership cards for free. We spend thousands of pesos here every month and we get no discount or no promotion! There are barely any sales too. So how are customers supposed to get incentivized to buy? Plus they really need to start offering a delivery service - even if they do charge extra for it. Lugging dozens of cans is never fun.

The grooming section is always a sight to see whenever their are dogs getting groomed.

I also go there at least every 2-3 weeks to restock on food and occasionally get new toys; I go there most of the time now that the moment my dog and I walk in, we get a "Hi Rava!" greeting. I highly recommend giving this place a visit!

Okay, so maybe this is a personal problem, but I rarely get to feel the express in this place because of my curiosity. The variety of dog foods intrigues me, and all the toys and leashes and beds too. Everything that you might want to buy for your pet can be found here, even those ridiculous looking pet strollers. I suppose if you didn't read all the labels and tags like me and tried every thingamabob in the store you could be in and out in 5 minutes, but where's the fun in that?

And where better to see puppies than the famed Cartimar Pet Center, the Divisoria of the animal kingdom where you can get yourself a furry life partner for less than the price of your average microwave. Even Tinder won't get you that. Even if you're not currently looking for the one, or if you've already found your furry pal, Cartimar Pet Center is still a must-visit for any animal lover. Aside from the obvious pros of seeing cute puppies frolicking around in their cages, waiting for someone to sing "How much is that doggy in the window?", you can also get amazing deals on pet food, accessories, and anything else you need for little Fido. They don't have lasagna though. Garfield will be disappointed. I know I was.

She bribes me with food to get me out of the house, and then takes me to Cartimar Pet Center so we can watch puppies with their chubby, furry butts playing with other puppies or just staring back at us, too lazy to move.

This is also where we buy accessories and pet food for our little Stormy. We don't tell her we come here to look at other dogs though - she's a very jealous little lady, and it wouldn't do to upset her. Tip for dog-owners: get your doggy a superhero outfit. It's awesome, I promise.

My dog got surgery there jan 20 bec of a growth outside his anus which may be benign or malignant. They even offered me to do castration as well which to me makes sense para isahan nalang yung recovery process but its kinda weird that they are quick to offer a service wherein the oatient is a senior dog akready. Even to people when it comws to surgery its tricky na especially for seniors. They are also quick to add stuff to your bill without doing the correct process of making sure if my dog can handle it. Long story short, my dog pulled thru with 2 surgeries like a champ. He had to be confined of course but they are pushing for anotjer days stay thays plus.3200 when my dog is ok naman na.

Pet House is the one-stop shop for everything that has to do with pets. While mostly catering to…read moredogs and cats, the shop pretty much has everything if you need pet supplies, vet care, and even dog grooming. For their pet supplies, Pet House is pretty much well-stocked with dog and cat goodies such as food, litter, treats, medicine, toys and other supplies. Occasionally though, they also have items for hamsters and aquarium pets. The first time I really paid a visit to Pet House was when my hamster was sick and the resident vet, Mayet, was kind enough to offer some tips and suggest a medicine with free drops - and no vet fee for my little pet. Seeing how genuine of a vet she is, I selected her as my dog's vet, having had this experience with her in the past. Now speaking of their vet services, I must say the service is really good. Vet Mayet and the other vets and their assistants in the branch are very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to handling pets and diagnosing if there is any problem. Dogs are also given the utmost in service as they often recommend routine check-ups for vaccinations or deworming and flea and tick prevention. While they add a date, what I really like about them is that they make sure the owners know when the schedule is as they text you on the morning of the scheduled appointment. Overall, I can never think of having another vet for my furry pal. While their rates vary and depending on the medicine and what size of dog you have, I have to say that their prices range between affordable to expensive (dog medicine imported from the US can become quite a stretch for the wallet), but if you're talking about your dog's overall health, price shouldn't be a problem.

Pet Express has saved my life (or more specifically, my cats') countless times. This was the most…read morememorable: It was this summer that all my cats caught the flu and the prescribed antibiotic is not available ANYWHERE! I've literally searched all the clinics I know, even gone through cartimar and back and I never found a thing. I was panicking because all of them had it, and was getting worse by the day. There are other alternatives to the drug and believe me, I've tried. But you know how sensitive cats are to medicines. Most of them just vomit them out, or even salivate because the tablets were so bitter despite the wet food. They would sleep with open mouths despite the constant nebulizing. Man that was like hell for me to see. And then, I thought of Pet Express. Even if I know they are mostly selling general supplies, I took my chances and called them up. What do you know? They have the antibiotic I was looking for! And they were selling it for way cheaper than the places I usually get them from. From the usual price of 250 pesos, I got it for 175 pesos. It was such a great relief. You can say, I may have hoarded a little bit. They are all stocked up in my fridge now. But you know...it was such a rare commodity that I was scared of needing it while supplies are not available! That was a good thing to know, really, that Pet Express has medicines available. And that they also can be requested to reserve some for you when you cannot pick-up right away. What helpful service!

Their prices are affordable and aside from that, you can even have fun shopping whilst having your cat or toy dog leisurely having a ride on your shopping cart. The also have a great grooming service AND professional veterinary services as well as dog training and pet boarding. I also love their customized engraved pet tag service.
