More shopping malls allow pets
Enhanced services for pets, such as issuing membership cards and discounts

In May 2022, the restrictions on going out of Corona were relaxed, allowing Filipinos to go to shopping malls, a Filipino pastime, as they did before Corona. Under such circumstances, the number of shopping malls where people can enter with their pets has increased rapidly in the wake of the Corona disaster. Although there are several series of shopping malls in the Philippines, many of the representative Shumart and Ayala series shopping malls now allow customers to enter with their pets, and pet-related stores and overnight pet hotel facilities for pet owners to use while traveling have also opened. Estancia Mall, a large shopping mall in Metro Manila, issues membership cards for pets. It offers discounts at stores and a birthday cake for pets on their birthdays. Popular pet-related stores include pet food stores such as Barkin‘ Bakes Healthy Pet Food. They sell custom cakes with portraits and handmade cookies.

Pet Demand Increased by StayHome
Shopping Malls Are Comfortable Places to Walk

During the long lockdown in the Philippines, the number of families who kept pets for comfort in their stayhomes increased rapidly. Some even welcomed their pets as an excuse to get out of the house, since walking pets was allowed as a reason to go out even during the lockdown. When the restrictions on going out were eased and mooing (staying in a shopping mall for a long time to enjoy meals and windshopping) became possible, shopping malls began to allow pets to enter their stores in order to attract people who had started keeping pets in the Corona Disaster. Because of the high temperatures in the Philippines and the amount of trash on the streets, air-conditioned and safe shopping malls have gained a reputation as places to take a walk.
