Doggieland Resort — not really, no.
There’s a “resort” in the metro that has a pool and dogs can swim on it. Sounds like a dream and so we went today. Doggieland Pet Hotel, Nursery & Resort is in Santolan, Pasig. We went to try the pool and booked the 1:00PM to 3:30PM schedule. The owner was quite honest to say that the pool is quite small so we had to limit the number of people — priority of course are the dog-beings, Yusha and myself.
For the price, the rent is quite expensive since the place is just ok. They charge P750/dog and P350/human for the 3 to 4-hour stay. The place can accommodate maximum of 6 humans plus their furbabies.

I wouldn’t call it a resort moreso a pet hotel. The pool area smelled of several unwashed dog pees. The water was thankfully clean. There were help who offered to wash us (prior to swimming) and hair dry us (after cleaning up). Since the place just opened, we were batch 16 according to the owner.
What I want to ask pup-parents to watch out is the “pet hotel” part. We went to see what this seemingly posh-type hotel in the place and was immediately put off by the ghastly smell prior to entering the place. It reaked of again unwashed dog pee and poop. The place is airconditioned but it seemed they haven’t aired the place since it was built. Not really confident being alone there when my pup-parents travelled. I didn’t take a photo of the place anymore because I thought it was a big joke to call it a “hotel”. They charge about P650/night/dog, btw.
