Furry Tails owner Danny Tan and his Chow Chow Rafa
I decided that a doggy fashion show here at Fairview Terraces would be a good way to bring pet owners and their dogs together in a place that is loved by many humans,” said composer, musical director and pet store owner Danny Tan. “Pinoys love to take care of their dogs and dress them up. There are dog owners who love to give their doggy companions extra attention. And, if the owners are happy, the pets are happy, too.”
It was a rather large crowd of dogs and humans that gathered at the activity center of the Fairview Terraces that Sunday. I was told that there were over 60 humans and pets who had signed up for the doggy fashion show organized by Furry Tails, the pet store owned by Tan.
“Nagbabatuhan ng good vibes ang dogs and their humans,” added Tan.
And, yes, I have to admit that the place was filled with good vibes as humans lovingly dressed their dogs before the start of the show. Only taking time to fix themselves up after they had made sure that their doggy companions were coiffed and ready.
Tan shared that because Ayala Malls, which manages the Fairview Terraces, was so excited about the dog show, it encouraged him to go all out in promoting it. Tan shared that he turned to Facebook to announce “Doggie Day Out” fashion show. And, he admits that the number of pet groups that said they would join the event surprised him.
Tan first set up his pet shop Furry Tails in SM North EDSA 17 years ago. He says that to this day, the shop is doing well.
But, he wanted something different at Fairview Terraces so he is in the process of building a daycare center for dog owners who love to bring their dogs with them to the mall.
“It is a place where dog owners and their pets can have a fun time playing because we have a playground, and a people and dog cafe,” added Tan. So, the humans can have coffee while waiting for the dogs to be groomed. The dogs can also eat with their humans in the cafe.”
Tan says he only sells small animals in his pet store and store is more of an accessories and pet food place — and now, it has a spa.
