Is it just me or are there really days when our pets just understand us more than most people do? It's amazing how they can sense what we're feeling sometimes. Just with their little gestures, they seem to make us smile so easily and they sort of make us forget those bad thoughts. They seem to make your troubles go away in an instant. That's why they always feel like family to me. But are our pets giving the love and attention that they deserve too? I know just the place where you could take them! *winks*

BARKER'S HAVEN is a retail business that offers a variety of pet services, food, accessories and supplies for pets. They just opened their second branch at Lane 101, Upper Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City. It's specifically located at the back of Taipan Cars just before reaching SM Uptown. They also have their main branch at Metz Arcade, Capt. Vicente Roa Avenue, across Centrio Ayala Mall, just here in CDO.

The place is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Chaves who started this business almost three years from now. Mrs. Donna Chaves has decided to engage in this field mainly because of her love for these darlings. It's not hard to tell that she does. You can just take a look at the photos above. That's right. Every frame you can see there are all her babies. What a dream it is to be working at the field you are passionate about. 

Barker's Haven's specialty is on their grooming services where your pets will get the makeover they need by the experts.

Barker's Haven also offers quality products for your dog's essentials such as fur shampoo, soap, tick and flea control stuff, supplements, vitamins and more. I'm surprised that they even have medicines available for pregnant doggies and their newborns. They're also being sold at very affordable prices. You can find all of that here.

From time to time, it's highly important that we take our pets out for their regular check-up and grooming. Not only will they look and feel clean, you're also gonna be doing them a favor in the health aspect. 

Why of course, a pet's life wouldn't be complete with their very own toys, clothes and chewables. They come in really cute designs!

And last but not the least, let me just end this article with a lovable collage from our furry friends who just got their makeovers here at Barker's Haven. Cuteness overload!



I really have great respect for pet fathers and mothers out there. It's like having a new baby in a family, don't you think? And it's good training for soon-to-be parents! It's not easy but at the end of the day, the reward we get from these adorable creatures are their loyalty and never-ending days of laughter.
