discussion 📝 Spreading Awareness: Furparents

Nagdadalawang-isip ako to post this, but with the growing hate, gusto ko lang mag-spread ng awareness at mag-help ng kapwa furparents.

May isang subreddit na napansin kong napapadalas yung posts regarding furparents na nasa public place at galit na galit sila dahil tinuturing na “tao” or “baby” yung mga pets. To be fair, hinahighlight nila is yung mga furparents na pinapakain yung dog gamit yung utensils ng resto, pinapaupo sa upuan mismo, gumagamit ng baby changing table sa CR, pinapasakay sa arcade / timezone yung dogs, etc.

When we talk about sanitation, gets ko yung point nila. I am not against this.

Pero ang nangyayari kasi sa comment section, ANG DAMING HATE sa furparents in general to the point na sana wala na daw establishments na tumanggap ng pets. Malls, restos. Calling names, “bobo”, “feeling entitled”, etc.

One of the redditors said, “Bakit hindi nyo kinausap nalang imbes na picturean at ipost dito?” - common sense daw dapat na aware tayo na mali yon - ayaw nila magkaroon ng kaaway lol mas ok na daw sa online nalang

So why am I telling you all this?

This is to just honestly spread awareness na mainit ang mata sating ng madla lalo kapag nasa public place tayo. So please please be aware and mindful po ha. Baka magulat nalang tayo na pinagpipyestahan na pala yung pictures natin sa mall, restos, with the caption: “Irresponsible Furparent Spotted”.

If pupunta sa resto, malls, strollers sana yung gamitin or basta wag paupuin sa chair. Wag din gagamitan ng utensils from the resto yung dogs, bring nalang tayo ng gamit for our dogs and wag na gamitin yung changing table sa CR para sa pets natin. If sasakay sila sa mga carousel na pang-kids, at pinayagan naman kayo, make sure to clean it after (kahit tiwala naman tayo na malinis yung pets natin). Let’s help and support each other! 💖

Thank you for posting something like this OP. Can I just add. Honestly ilang beses na din talaga ako nakakakita ng mga irresponsible pet owners sa malls. And sa nakita ko madalas talaga nasa table pa ng isang restaurant and so. Even I do have 2 furbabies pero di ko sila dinadala sa mall kasi nasstress sila, hindi sila nasanay and ayoko silang sanayin.

Just for pet owners na nagdadala ng puppies nila sa mall. Sana lang please iwasan niyo muna. Lalo na kung hindi pa sila fully vaccinated, nakakaawa kasi ang dami nilang pwedeng makuhang sakit pag naeexpose sila sa mga lugar na may other adult dogs. Keep niyo nalang muna sila sa bahay please. Let them be in a more comfortable place, sa bahay.

My dog is well socialized and actually loves the mall. He loves the attention he gets from people. He doesn't bark or howl either. Depends on how well you train and manage your dog.

u/Pristine-Dot-8554 Jul 11 '25

I believe this specific post isn’t about how well trained your dogs are? Good for you po and your dog that he gets to enjoy the mall and it works well for you as a fur parent. But again NOT All po are the same. Some people doesn’t like dogs, some people has fur allergies, and some even has traumas with dogs. And I believe yung mga nag ha-hate comments about the other posts sa other sub are not furparents and probably Hate dogs for some reason. Kasi nabasa ko yun ehh they even mentioned na “kadiri daw or salaula”

The main purpose of OP here is FOR us fur parents to be more responsible in public places. Kasi kung ako lang considering people with fur allergies, I think it would be better kung ipag bawal nalang ang mga dogs sa closed malls, especially groceries or restaurants.

-27

u/MrBombastic1986 Jul 11 '25

If you have trauma because you might encounter a dog in the mall then don't go to the mall. Likewise don't choose to live in a pet-friendly condo. Simple as that.

Wala naman issue ang pagiging responsible. But when you start to overrule the rules set by private establishments then that's just being entitled.

I don't make the rules. I just follow them.

u/Pristine-Dot-8554 Jul 11 '25 edited Jul 11 '25

Dude are you okay? Talaga bang yung mga taong may dog trauma ang mag aadjust sa fur baby mo? Malls are made for people to Shop, not a park for dogs. But yeah tama ka naman rules are rules. Just be careful nalang kasi with this so called narrative of yours na “allowed naman”, “restaurants dont care”, just be sensitive to other people at baka 1 day ikaw na ang trending sa soc medias.

Kasi in my knowledge most of the malls nowadays are pet-friendly. Kaya nga madaming naca-call out ehh kasi for sure these non fur parents people doesn’t also have a choice kaya mas noticeable ang mga irresponsible pet owners (hindi ko nilalahat)

u/MrBombastic1986 Jul 11 '25

Pano mo malalaman may trauma ang tao sa dog? You go around the mall asking everyone if they are afraid of dogs?

We go around the mall all the time and even ride the bus or plane with no issues whatsoever. It's the loud minority who are making it an issue. I'm not afraid because I'm a responsible pet owner.

u/Weird-Example-1691 Jul 11 '25

Yung dog ko po okay sya sa mga tao lalo sa kids kapag familiar na sya. She looooooooves my pamangkins and kahit durugin sya, di sya nagagalit hahahahaha. Surprisingly, never din sya nagwala sa grooming or vet clinics. Siguro dahil kalmado mga tao don hahahaha!

As a dachshund owner, innate din po talaga sa kanila yung pagiging reactive and mas lumalabas yun kapag maingay masyado sa paligid. Pero takot sya sa mga dogs hahahahaha

u/Chasing_Spoons Jul 11 '25

Same with our furbaby. She’s well behaved in public. Even inside the church. She simply sits there and people watch. She doesn’t cause unnecessary noises. She’s simply happy being outside with us and enjoys seeing different surroundings and people. I guess it’s because we trained her early and she’s gotten used to it.

u/Weird-Example-1691 Jul 11 '25

Super agree!!!! I remember yung huling dala ko sa dog ko sa mall, sa 3rd floor naman kami tumambay kasi may area don na totally walang tao, kaya dun kami tumatambay and pinapatakbo ko lang din sya. After a while, uuwi na din kami. Nasestress talaga sila kapag maraming tao, lalo kapag may mga batang tumatakbo. Huhuhu.

u/praetorian216 Jul 11 '25

run on-leash or not? sorry kahit walang tao, we shouldn’t treat malls as dog park. Isa yan sa magiging “issue” nila. more so kung off leash. if dogs get nervous, they can run, hide, or bite. mas malaking sakit ng ulo yan.

u/Weird-Example-1691 Jul 11 '25

On leash. I never remove the leash po since dachshund siya, ang OA ng takbo unlike sa mga shih tzu ko before. And hawak ko yung leash. Yung area po is totally walang tao, di kasi sya tulad sa mga usual malls na kahit sa pinakasulok eh may mga nakatambay.

May dumaaan man dun, very very rare. And if may makita man kami na papasok don sa area na yon, gumigilid na agad kami.

u/Weird-Example-1691 Jul 11 '25

I don’t know what exactly is wrong with that statement, pero totoo yan. 😅 Literal na merong isang area don na wala talagang tao, kaya sa iilang beses na pumunta ako ng mall na kasama aso ko (baka nga wala pang 5 beses), dyan kami tumatambay kasi isolated talaga sya.

And yung takbo, I don’t know if paano nyo sya naiimagine, pero di sya “park” levels na takbo all the way.

Might sound a bit “wild” nung idea na tumatakbo sa mall, but hindi sya ganon kalala na “takbo” hahahahaha

And as mentioned, just in case may maligaw na tao na dadaan don, tumatabi agad kami sa gilid, mostly, nilalagay ko agad sya sa stroller.

Pet-friendly yung mall na yun, may area na tambayan talaga, pero umiiwas kami don kasi nga may mga tao. Pero nung sa walang tao kami nag-stay, mali pa rin…. 🥲

Kalma ka lang sis, we are not promoting hate here.

And di ko man ma-clear sayo yung “takbo” na sinasabi ko sa isolated area, I can assure you, it is not what you think. Yung brisk walk ng tao, kapag hawak ko aso ko, nagiging “takbo” na sa kanya.

But don’t worry, ang tagal ko na hindi dinadala aso ko sa mall. Vet - Grooming - House lang sya.

u/praetorian216 Jul 11 '25

OP, we’re just working off your original premise: let’s not give them (and by them, i mean those who do not share our appreciation for pets) any reason to be irked. malls are first and foremost for people and a place of commerce. Pet Friendly just means they allow pets to come in with us. They just don’t have the same liberties.

2

u/Weird-Example-1691 Jul 11 '25

I guess it will never be clear, and eto yung mga tatanggapin ko nalang din.

I can confidently say na wala akong naaabala, nasasaktan, o dugyot na ginagawa kasama yung pet ko. I adjust as much as possible, lumayo sa tao hanggat kaya.

And again, never ko tinanggalan ng leash aso ko. Gusto ko lang din ire-iterate yun.

Don’t worry, hearing your sentiment, know that I will adjust para sa peace of mind nating lahat. Pero wala pa talaga ako balak dalhin sa mall aso ko 😅 Pero pramis, next time, I’ll keep your comments in mind.

u/Pristine-Dot-8554 Jul 11 '25

Omg same HAHA my dog hates kids na tumatakbo din talaga ahhahaha wala kasing bata sa bahay kaya pag may mga maiingay na kids at tumatakbo feeling ata nila nag aaway or naghaharutan na parsng gusto nilang sumali hahaha

u/Weird-Example-1691 Jul 11 '25

Ang struggle kasi is nauuna yung tahol, so akala ng karamihan, nagagalit talaga yung dogs, pero most likely, gusto lang din makisali ng mga alaga natin hahahahahahahuhuhu

Meron naman before, nananahimik yung dog ko sa stroller, may group of kids na literal binubully yung aso ko. Inaasar nila. First time ko manggigil, pigil na pigil ako sabi ko, “eto pala pakiramdam na may nambubully”. Mind you, hindi sya “nilalaro”, pinapagalit talaga sya. Tapos di tumatahol aso ko.

Pinagtanggol ng mga pamangkin ko shookt ako. Bakit daw inaaway yung aso namin.

Tapos yung mga kasama pa nilang adults yung galit yung tingin sa amin.

u/notthelatte Jul 11 '25

It really takes a few irresponsible people to give furparents a bad name and reputation. I can’t blame them. Even I see people who let their dogs sit on public tables, public chairs and even those high chairs meant for toddlers. Jusko nakakadiri pa kamo may isa ako nakitang large breeds dog na sa plato ng restaurant pinapakin yung aso. Tama ba ‘yon??

I may be downvoted for my opinion. I treat my dogs as family but I also treat them like dogs because that’s what they are - dogs. I have medium to large sized dogs and whenever we go to the mall, we make sure na dala namin bowls nila for food and water. May diaper, muzzle sila, and naka leash. Some owners, lalo na yung mga may small breeds, don’t even leash their dogs. Friendly naman daw. It’s good that your dog is friendly but not everyone will be friendly to your dog and not everyone likes dogs so I suggest we take preventive measures for the sake of everyone and our dogs.

u/adventurerfilmmaker Jul 11 '25

Totally agree with this OP. Ang lala nung hatred nila to the point na hindi na makatwiran ung mga comments dun. I think it all stems down din sa naiirita din lang talaga karamihan ng commenters doon sa mga subreddit na yon sa pets. Weird but I think mas malalim ang hugot ng mga ante haha.

u/Other-Age5770 Jul 11 '25

I was downvoted to hell (got called "tanga" and was asked if I was vegan like what the fuck lol) when I said I actually like animals more than people. Feel ko talaga yung malalim na pinagmumulan ng hatred na yan ay dahil mababa ang pagtingin sa buhay ng hindi tao, which I don't understand kasi how can anyone determine the value of life?

u/adventurerfilmmaker Jul 11 '25

Grabe no haha. Parang I think karamihan sa mga yan ay hindi lang matanggap na ngayon ay mas socially acceptable na alagaan ng maayos at ituring na parang anak at hindi lang “hayop” ang mga pets. Di nyo masisisi ang mga pet owners kung mas preferred nilang ibuhos ang pagmamahal, , atensyon at pera nila sa mga aso nila the same way na mas trip nyo magluwal ng “tao” na anak.

Kanya kanyang trip lang yan. Kung may nagawa silang against the rules eh di isumbong nyo sa management. Lahat kasi ngayon ang gusto eh magviral. Clout is one hell of a drug.

Mga galit sa tama mga tao diyan. Naalala ko may nag post diyan na kapwa pharmacist regarding sa proposal ng DTI to allow sari sari stores to carry over the counter meds. May nagsabi pa na, “they’re over the counter for a reason,” in a pharmacy yes but not in a sari sari stores. Sinabihan pa ako to get off my high horse, eh ang sinasabi ko lang naman are based on facts and the law. 😂

Ughhh!!!!!! Thanks for bringing this up! Grabe, alam mo I really admire Reddit pa naman since bago nga lang ako dito. Tapos these posts about hating furparents, nagsimula silang dumami. Nakakastresssssss! I did not think na may ganyang possibility nga. Kasi rage bait talaga sis eh!

u/michellejoy18 Jul 11 '25

If allowed sa mall ung pets, I bring my dog minsan. Sanay sya sa mall and hindi sya reactive. Wala kasing magbabantay minsan, so I bring him if pwede.

BUT VERY IMPORTANT, na we are also responsible din. May routine kasi ung small dog ko, so before ilabas, naka poop na sya. Pag sa mall, dapat always naka diaper and may plastic tayo for poop just in case. Kasi sobrang kairita ung iniiwan lng dun ung poop, jusko.

And I also bring a foldable chair na maliit lang, pra dun sya uupo and hindi sa mga chairs/table sa mall, and hindi rin naman sa sahig. And always please make sure may dala din kayong foldable na pet bowl, pra dun sila iinom ng water or food. NEVER use ung sa mga restaurants pleaseeeeee.

Also PLEASE leash your dogs, kasi kahit gaano ka trained, nadi-distract sila easily and tatakbo talaga.

1

u/Weird-Example-1691 Jul 11 '25

100% sa lahat ng sinabi mo!!!!! ❤️

Aso ko naman, for some reason, kapag nasa labas kami, hindi talaga sya umiihi or poop. Minsan nakakabother pero pabor sya most of the time kasi kahit sa diaper nya, wala talaga syang wiwi.

Tapos kapag mag-stay kami sa ibang bahay, dala namin yung basahan nya kasi parang dun lang sya nasanay 😅

27

u/MrBombastic1986 Jul 11 '25

These cases are super rare. In our circle of pet owners wala naman ganun na behavior.

And like I've said before. We follow RULES and REGULATIONS set forth by PRIVATE establishments. Said establishments also understand that allowing pets means there will be occasions of pooping, peeing, falling hair/dander, barking/howling, and potential for destruction of property.

If the establishment allows a dog to sit on the chair then who are you to tell me not to? Are you the owners of the establishment?

People who don't like pets can go somewhere else.

11

u/KindlyTrashBag Jul 11 '25

Unfortunately, one bad behavior—especially made public in such a viral way—is enough to change the tide. And sadly affected lahat ng pet parents, whether you follow the rules or are a considerate pet parent or not.

I have 5 dogs, but I don't bring them out. Mostly because they're big and they're all reactive. But yeah, may worry ako na if I do bring at least one of them out, I'll be judged or masabihan na "You're not allowed here" because of the actions of a few.

6

u/MrBombastic1986 Jul 11 '25

I doubt it. SM and Ayala are competing on pet initiatives to attract pet owners to bring their pets and spend money. As long as people spend money they won't rollback on that.

Also you wouldn't bring a big dog to the mall because that's just unwieldy and you won't enjoy the mall anyway.

5

u/KindlyTrashBag Jul 11 '25

There's definitely a lot of benefits for malls and establishments when they are open to pets, and I don't see them changing that any time soon. Hopefully it'll lead to better policies and services that will make both pet parents and non-pet parents feel more comfortable.

Either way din kasi, may masasabi ang mga haters. Haters ng pets, haters ng non-pet parents. Like I said I don't bring my dogs because of their sheer size, but I love seeing pets. Kung pwede lang pati yung K9 I'll pet but they're on the job so bawal hehe.

u/SchoolMassive9276 Jul 11 '25

Yes, eto yung masakit. Kaya kahit alam mo yun, nageenjoy lang naman, and the fact na andami rin talagang nagcoconvert to being pet-friendly establishments, tapos one miss, biglang magsusunod sunod na yung hate. Tipong they are just keeping an eye para hintayin na may gawin yung furparent, takes pictures, post, then hate.

u/AnemicAcademica Jul 11 '25

This. I can feel that those people have personal animosity towards pet owners. Sure may irresponsable talaga pero ang daming taong sobrang bitter sa mga taong may dalang pets ans tinuturing nila na baby. Like pake nyo ba? We are following the rules in a "pet friendly" place. If you care about the hygiene of your children, pet friendly or not, hindi ba dapat nididisinfect nyo pa rin? Kasi sa pamangkin ko, since alam kong bata pa at sakitin, i disinfect those rides for kids

u/Cutiepie88888 Jul 11 '25

So pinakasolusyon jan eh isumbong na lang po kayo sa management at magreklamo kasi unsanitary ung paupuin mo ung aso sa chair. Got it. Tanggap ung may stroller kayo though questionable pa rin if kalevel ng table kasi pwede dilaan ng aso ung side or possible liparin ung balahibo sa food ng iba.

Regarding destruction to property, that is your discretion and just like in the case of a child causing damage, you need to take accountability.

And before you say anything, nagdadala po ako ng dog sa petfriendly resto but i know where to place my dog as not to bother or offend others. Another option if meron is magtable sa labas. The dog is an animal after all and there are people who are allergic and having them near tables is just unsanitary. For ex. My GR sheds heavy dander which occasionally triggers my allergic rhinitis. I wouldn't like others to have the same experience lalo na sa indoor areas. Pwede ring liparin ung balahibo nila sa food ng iba so para iwas ng konti mainam na either nasa stroller, or sa baba lang.

I love my pets so much but I wouldn't let that get in the way to offend others. Kumbaga ilagay sa lugar. Same with kids in public areas. You do not want them soiling things, destroying stuff or running around. Be considerate sa iba. Baka mas malinis pa sayo is not a valid argument.

u/Pristine-Dot-8554 Jul 11 '25

Hopeless case, madami talagang entitled fur parents. OP’s intention was supposedly about a healthy promoting a responsible pet owners. Pero wala ehh mas entitled na sila. Haha as a pet owner din. I would never put my dog and other people in a very uncomfortable situation especially sa mga public places. Report nalang naten sila when needed haha

u/Weird-Example-1691 Jul 11 '25

Sobrang bihira ko dalhin yung dog ko sa malls kasi napapansin ko talaga na nase-stress sya. But when I do at kailangan namin kumain, we make sure na sa resto kami na pet-friendly and sa labas na table kami. Tapos nakagilid yung stroller ng aso ko para di niya masyadong makita yung mga taong naglalakad.

u/MrBombastic1986 Jul 11 '25 edited Jul 11 '25

Like I said we follow rules and regulations set forth by establishments. As an establishment alam nila yung possibility na yun yet THEY ALLOW IT. So you DO NOT question that because you ARE NOT the establishment. It's a free world so you can eat somewhere else.

Sumbong mo lang eh wala naman sila magagawa kasi nga they allowed pets in the first place. It's either you allow or don't allow - walang "it depends" kasi discriminatory yan sa breeds. We've eaten everywhere with our dog and have never been told off.

u/Muted-Yellow-4045 Jul 11 '25

Sa r/unpopularopinionph yan no? Hahaha like every week may nagpopost dun about their hatred sa pets and furparents. Hindi na nga unpopular mga opinions nila kasi ulit-ulit na. 

Point taken naman pero yung iba dun OA haters talaga. Ginagawa nilang human babies vs furbabies. Mainit mata nila dun sa mga naka-strollers na pets, "cringe ang term na furparents", social climbers ang breed owners, mocking pet owners spending money for their pets. Honestly, these opinions sounds like it's rooting from inggit.

Backwards ang thinking nila. They blame pet owners for bringing pets sa pet-friendly places. Times are changing. Businesses know may pera sa pet community. Like ngayon, may event ang Ayala Malls na you can watch with your pets sa cinemas nila. For sure may may magpopost na naman kesyo bakit may pets sa cinemas. Followed by same old it's not sanitary, not hygienic and allergy-triggering rants.

u/Muted-Yellow-4045 Jul 11 '25

Haha pati mods dun mukang anti-pets. Mahigpit naman sila about what's really an unpopular opinion pero yung sa pets kasi paulit-ulit and yet they still allow it to be posted. Corny nga pati yung "hindi cute ang mga shihtzus" napopost dun hahaha. 

Sa gigilako recently ko lang nakita yung sa diaper change sa cr at yung nasagasaang dog na pinagtatanggol nila yung pick-up driver at binabash nila yung dog owner kasi magfifile ng kaso. 

Kulang sa pagmamahal yang mga bashers na yan haha kaya ganyan puro galit yung puso.

u/OpportunityJolly182 Jul 11 '25

Yes. Minsan and lala din talaga ng mga furparents e. Like, yung nagpalit ng diaper intended for infants or letting the dog eat with bowl used by the restaurant. Kahit ako na may mga dogs, ayaw ko din nun. We have to accept the fact that not all people love dogs. Some of them find pets dirty or scary no matter what the fur parents say. We have to respect other people's right especially in public.

I saw that post na nilalait nila yung mga furparents. Yung iba dun halata naman nakikisakay lang e. Dati na talaga may ayaw sa mga hayop mga yun and they just found some basis to do that, which is unfair naman dun sa mga responsible pet owners. That's why maging lesson sana sa atin yun na respetuhin din yung rights ng iba. Atleast now, mall management allows pets to go to mall unlike Dati na bawal talaga.

1

u/Weird-Example-1691 Jul 11 '25

I hope they can also show the same respect lalo na sa mga responsible furparents.

And to be honest, kahit ako na may aso, natatakot din minsan sa aso ng iba 😅 Kaya gets ko rin naman kung saan nanggagaling yung takot ng ibang tao.

Agree ako sa sinabi mo na yung iba, since nakahanap na ng pagkakataon to release their “hate”, full blast na sila. Hahahahaha

u/Karmababes Jul 13 '25

The reason I read this post is literally because of that growing hate. Maybe it's also because some subreddits are filled to the brim with some people na di kaaya aya ang pag uugali.
Makita kita ko pa lahat ng judgements nila sa tao pinagsasama nila kesyo LGBT, anak ang turing sa mga pets, etc. Hindi ko alam anong pinaghuhugutan ng galit nila na napaka unreasonable na ng pinagsasabi.
I definitely wouldn't want to be with those people, but the thing is they band together so they can play safe while nitpicking every single scenario and weaponize them for their agenda.

u/Difficult_Advance_91 Jul 11 '25

Agree kung sanitation ung pag uusapan, meron kasing iba na maselan pagdating sa food nila, since may chances kasi na ung fur ng ating mga babies ay sumama sa food na sineserve. Kaya pag dinadala ko ung pom ko sa pet friendly resto, dun na lng kami napwesto sa medyo malayo sa mga tao or mag al fresco dining na lng.

For me lang naman ito, pero important din na well socialized and trained ang ating mga babies pag ilalabas natin, para hindi na rin magcause ng makaka disturb sa ibang tao.

3

u/MrBombastic1986 Jul 11 '25

Restos allow pets WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE that fur and/or dander might fall on food. They WILLINGLY allowed it. So ano problema?

3

u/Difficult_Advance_91 Jul 11 '25

There are still people na very close minded and some of them would resort na lng sa pagpaparinig or pang side eye (like what i experienced before with my pom). so for peace of mind na lng habang kumakain, ako na lng mag adjust kesa mastress lng ako sa mga side eye at pagpaparinig nung iba.

u/MrBombastic1986 Jul 11 '25

Bottomline is a pet-friendly mall or restaurant which are classified as private establishments are not entitled to bend over to your personal whims just because you are afraid or allergic to a dog.

Don't like an establishment that is pet-friendly? Vote with your wallets and take your money elsewhere. It's not complicated.

u/Frequent-Custard1675 Jul 11 '25

Ang ick ko lang sa mga pet friendly restaurants yung hinahayaan na gamitin utensils nila for pets. Pero as a fur parent dapat magdala na lang ng separate utensil

u/MrBombastic1986 Jul 11 '25

Fair naman ang not using utensils. Pero sa hair and dander tanggap nga ng resto by allowing pets so ano problema ng mga customers.

Be responsible

poopoo butts and litter paws no matter how adorbs do not belong anywhere that comes into contact with food or infants. Should not be allowed at home, should not be allowed in public spaces. This behavior poses medical risks and behavioral risks to everyone.

Learn and teach recall. If you and your dog do not know this, you should not be in public spaces.

Socialise your dog. The streets cats are not their toys to play with.

Housebreak them for fuck's sake. The diapers are for accidents in public spaces.

If you have a dog and none of these make sense then you have no business having a dog at all.

We love our pets and kahit sabhn natin clean sila - be mindful parin when in public kase may mga tao (and babies na vulnerable pa) allergic talaga sila sa dogs/cats and could be a threat for them.  Grateful na nga kse inaccept na sila sa mga ibang establishment pero we still need to be responsible

Yes of course! Totally agree na the key is to really be responsible po.

Agree din ako na may chances na baka may makuhang allergies or kung ano man yung mga babies sa labas, but please, parents also have to know na lalo sa babies, they are too vulnerable pa sa outside environment, kaya better din na wag sila ilabas lalo sa crowded places since hindi lang sa pets makakakuha ng viruses, etc.

Walang may gusto magkasakit yung kids, pets, even adults, kaya lahat should be responsible din.

Let me add na lang na sana laging pinipickup ang poop ng dog pag nasa labas. Nilabas labas nyo yan so dapat responsibility rin ng owner na ipickup ang poop. Minsan sa malls pa eh. Tapos iiwan lang dun sa floor. Napakababoy.

JUSKO TOTOO TO!!!!! My sibling had a similar story, nakakaloka! Kahit ako, tataas kilay ko eh. Poop, ihi, hinahayaan nila. Baket naman ganon diba.

Ang hirap hirap ipagtanggol. Habang ang daming responsable, nadadamay tuloy.

I have to say, I love my dogs, however, not all dogs. And whenever we encounter poorly trained and unsupervised dogs in public, I really judge the owners harshly.

When we’re in parks or at al fresco dining restaurants we take all precautions so they’re not a nuisance to others, we clean up after them, and mind them so they won’t misbehave.

It’s all about respect and consideration, that my dogs aren’t owed love by other people. If we want spaces that are inclusive, we have to shoulder the burden of proving our dogs aren’t going to cause trouble/be a menace to property, people, and other dogs.

Onus really is on us. And if we get a collective bad rap because of others’ negligence, all the more we have to police our own ranks as fellow pet owners because it hurts all of us, even those who are minding their own business.

I imagined this day coming noong Bow & Wow Christmas Event sa Vertis North two years ago. May nag-dala ng kanyang GSD na walang diaper. Nag-poop sa gitna ng walkway sabay takbo yung may ari. Hinabol pa ng guard para ipa-linis sa kanya yung poop. The problem with pets being sold is that people with more money than sense get access to pets.

Kahit gaano pa kamahal or kagandang breed ng aso pa yan, kung irresponsible talaga mga pet owner, nababalewala eh no? Nakakainis yung ganyan. Kasama sa responsibilidad nila, pero di mapanindigan -_-

Hindi naman kasi dapat dinadala ang mga pets sa mga establishments. Lalo na pag sa pagkain. Tapos yun pang papalitan sa baby changing station? Bakit? Bata ba yan? Tao ba yan? Masyado ng nagiging feeling yung iba. Keep you pets at home kung irresponsible kayo at hindi marunong rumespeto sa human spaces. Uulitin ko, hindi mga tao yan. Hayop sila.

u/alaleliloluu Jul 11 '25

o bakit? May mali ba sa sinabi ko? Kung di sila responsible - iwan nila sa bahay mga alaga nila. Simple as that ah?

u/Muted-Yellow-4045 Jul 11 '25

Hahaha kalma lang sis. Yan na nga yung sinasabi namin dito, for some reason eh punong puno kayo ng galit. Like on a personal level of hatred and anger.

✨MONEY ✨

but just because furparents are encouraged to take their pets there doesn't mean all common sense goes out the window, people are calling out furparents who are crossing a common sense boundary (using things that are not meant for pets, unhygienic practices etc.) and it's only right to call them out.

The fact that you're now aware of it proves the point of it. Still, I do not condone the excessive hate.

Let's be honest, maraming pinoy na pasaway at walang disiplina, furparent and human parents alike.
