Several studies across the globe recognize the influence of pets on humans’ mental well-being because of the joy and sense of companionship they bring. In return, fur parents happily spend time, effort, and resources with their pets.
Their favorite bonding activities include traveling and playing, with some enjoying shopping with their pets.
Fortunately, fur babies and parents need not look far. SM Supermalls offers a memorable experience, especially for pets.
As SM continues to open its doors and welcome shoppers with inclusivity, they’re also extending this courtesy to pets, who are an integral part of people’s lives. In select branches nationwide, pet owners can bring their fur babies to SMs Paw Parks, where they can frolic, play, and meet other pets.
With 55 Paw Parks nationwide, they knew it was time to further welcome fur babies and parents with the most prominent pet loyalty program in the Philippines, the SM Super Pets Club.
To register, go to www.smsuperpetsclub.com and fill out the form for the fur parent and their fur baby. If there’s more than one owner, the Super Pets Club also honors co-owners who share the love and responsibility of having a pet.
The registration will also require an updated version of the pets’ shots to ensure everyone’s safety.
Upon completion, owners will receive a Pet ID for their fur baby, which they can easily access by logging on to the page or saving a screenshot on their mobile devices. The Pet IDs will only be valid for one year from your pets’ anti-rabies vaccination date.
Each owner can create up to five (5) Pet IDs.
Manila Standard traveled to SM Fairview with the lovable American Bully Diesel to experience the Paw Park and other perks included in the SM Super Pets Club firsthand. After all, the newest loyalty program from SM ensures pet owners a safe and memorable experience for their fur babies as they explore SM Supermalls.
Diesel, who’s a few months shy of turning a year old, couldn’t contain his excitement for the eventful day ahead of him. Despite the long drive, his energy was still at a maximum as he enjoyed the views from outside as the car navigated through Quezon City. Being an American Bully, Diesel is loyal and dependable, but he’s also fun to have around because he makes friends with people and other pets effortlessly.
Upon arriving at SM Fairview, the security guards at the entrance welcomed Diesel excitedly to the area. They couldn’t help but gush at how happy he was to explore new surroundings, see other attractions, and meet new people.
SM Fairview’s Paw Park is on the second floor and has another attraction beside it. The vibrant, secure, and clean environment is an ideal location to allow pets to enjoy themselves. One main advantage of joining the Super Pets Club is receiving easy access to SM Paw Parks in select branches. Fur parents can also reserve Paw Park exclusively at any SM Mall for an hour on their pet’s birthday.
Before entering Paw Park, Diesel’s owner had to sign a form indicating that he had all the right items, specifically, a leash, a diaper, and the most recent copy of his vaccinations. Once cleared, Diesel was free to roam around the Paw Park.
The faux grass made him feel comfortable and allowed him to exert as much physical energy as possible. There are several fixtures in the Paw Park, including weave poles, agility cones and hurdles, a seesaw, ramps, and more. Trash cans were also available in the area should the pets make a mess.
Meanwhile, SM Fairview also established a Creator Studio for pets besides the Paw Park. Complete with four different backdrops, the Creator Studio allows pet owners can capture Instagrammable pictures of their pets posing in the available setups. They can also use several props like hats, glasses, and signs to take it up a notch.
Diesel also enjoyed getting photographed at the Creator Studio and patiently sat as he went around the area. He was initially a bit shy, but he eventually warmed up in front of the camera.
By the end of the day, we saw Diesel made the most out of his out. He took a well-deserved nap in the car, but he gave us enough licks to know he was happy and grateful to have such a memorable experience.
Other than gaining access to SM’s Paw Parks, members can also access a microsite filled with pet-related activities, events, and promos happening at SM through the Super Pets Club.
In the meantime, fur parents can get rewards and discounts from partner tenants to get the best deals for their beloved pets.
Sign up for the SM Super Pets Club and be part of a community that shares the same passion of being a fur parent while enjoying exclusive rewards only at SM Supermalls.
