A dogs is a man's best friend. Everyone is encouraged to have a pet at home. Like a little child, pets give joy inside a home. Dogs and cats are the most popular domesticated animals. And here in the Philippines, you can easily get a pet - either it's from your neighbor's litter or a relatives, you can have a pet if only you desire so.
Having a pet is fulfilling. But it is also quite a responsibility. Pets are animals that have life. Therefore, they must be taken cared of and treated humanely. If you have pedigree dogs, all the more that you need to put in a lot of time, effort, and oftentimes money, to make sure that it is very comfortable in your home.
Having pets means buying stuff for it. And most of the time, the things that you buy for your dog is more expensive than those you use yourself. Dog shampoos can cost as high as Php500. Premium dog food like Canidae can go as high as Php250 per kilo. Dog soap is around Php150. Add all these expenses in a month and you'll say, having a dog means extending your budget!
Well, not anymore. I came across a good stall at the Legazpi Sunday Market that sells organic and natural products for dogs. The prices of their products are not that expensive, as organic dog soaps start at a mere Php85, shampoos at Php250, and even colognes (yes your pets need to smell good too) at Php195.
What's so good about their store is that all their products are all natural and organic. And that means no harsh chemicals to harm yours. Note that all commercial dog products - the ones you can buy at supermarkets - are all chemical-based. They can create residue on your dog's hide in the long run.
I probed more on the products and found out that most of them are locally made. This means they are supporting our country's bid with organic items, which is good because after all, the Philippines is home to a bounty produce. And once the organic market took off from here, we can dominate the rest of the world with our quality products. The organic market is big in the US right now. Now that's a big potential to our local farmers.
Going back to the dog stall, their name is WHMZ Organic and Natural Pet Shop. They also carry lots of dog accessories like toys, harness, and clothes. Their tarpaulin says their website is http://www.whmz.net. And they also have a Sulit store. Check it out from this link http://ludy.sulit.com.ph.
When I asked them why they put up their store, they said that they want all our furry friends enjoy the goodness of natural and organic products. Well, I'd like that for my dog. I believe it needs a change in its lifestyle somehow. Visit their physical store at the Legazpi Sunday Market, every Sundays of the month 7am-2pm. See you at the market!
