There used to be a time when pet owners couldn't bring with them their pets when visiting malls for shopping or leisure.

But times have changed and malls have become receptive to the idea.

Instead of looking at pets as nuisances, shopping establishments started seeing these adorable canines and felines as welcome guests and added come-ons to attract more visitors.

These pets also bring undeniable cuteness into the entire shopping experience of customers.

So with that said, here are some of the pet-friendly malls you can visit around the metro.

A bit of advice though: make sure your fur babies are in diapers and be responsible pet parents at all times especially in public.

Check out also the websites or contact the mall first to inquire about their pet policies for a smooth visit.

Robinsons Magnolia

The mall just recently opened its indoor pet park - a 70 sq. m dog-friendly facility located at Level 2 and opened daily from 11 A.M. to 7 P.M.

The park is designed with colorful fences and installation, and obstacle modules for pet exercises. There are also pet poop bins, a water fountain, and a variety of pet toys are to keep fur babies entertained.

This newly-opened pet park can take in small to medium-sized dogs, up to 50 pounds.
