Somerset Olympia Makati Celebrates Its First Puppy Hour
I absolutely love my pets, dogs and cats alike. The most obvious reason being they’re cute and cuddly. But it also can’t be denied the immense joy the bring to any home. And last April 30, 2019, the first ever Puppy Hour event was celebrated by the The Ascott Limited’s Somerset Olympia Makati.
A Celebration of the Value of Pet Ownership
April is international pet month. In line with this, Somerset Olympia Makati celebrated the value of pet ownership. The event brought together dog owners, bloggers, and a non-profit organization. All to raise awareness for a good cause.
The said event also discussed the current state of the lives of military working dogs (MWD) and contract working dogs (CWD) in the Philippines. Invited guest speakers and founders of Hound Haven Philippines, Maxin Arcebal, CEO and Chelsea Pecson, COO were present to give short talks on the value of pet ownership.
Somerset Olympia: A Pet-Friendly Hotel in Makati
I love doing staycations with my family. They’re a quick and convenient way to ‘travel’ and bond without breaking the bank. But as a pet owner myself, one of my biggest frustrations is the lack of pet-friendly hotels within Metro Manila.
Good thing there’s Somerset Olympia Makati. During the Puppy Hour event, participants had a chance to tour around the facilities of the serviced-residence together with their dogs. To date, Somerset Olympia Makati is the first pet-friendly property of The Ascott Limited in the Philippines.

Ms. Susan Salcedo, The Ascott Limited Philippines’ City Manager said, “Because there are only a few pet-friendly properties in the hospitality industry in our country. Somerset Olympia Makati offers a home for your pets”
“Moreover, we are not just your mere serviced-residence because our service is perfect for those travelers or families who would not want to leave their pets in the corners of their homes” Salcedo added.
Thanks to its partner brands, Puppy Hour was a complete success! Thank you Fur Magic, Sleeky, St. Roche, Nutram, Bow House, Pet Express, Vitality, and Whole Pet Kitchen.
So there you have it FUR-rents. If you’re looking for a nice and comfy hotel to bond with your fur-baby, come and stay at Somerset Olympia Makati. Your pet will definitely have a lot of fun having some quality Puppy Hour (or hours) with you there. See you!
