Danny Tan and his furry friends

Many successful men look beyond their horizons to conquer other fields and meet new challenges. When multi-awarded international composer, arranger, musical director, record and concert producer and TV personality Danny Tan diversified by opening a one-of-a-kind pet store, pet salon and spa and pet wellness 16 years ago, he never looked back.

Furry Tails started as Under the Sea & Other Creatures. The flagship store at SM City North EDSA became so huge that before long, other branches opened at SM City Sta. Rosa, Fairview Terraces Ayala Malls and SM Sta. Rosa. A fourth store recently opened last April at SM City Fairview, Upper Ground Floor, Main Building. Soon, Furry Tails was recognized as one of the major players in the Philippine pet industry “where your pet’s dreams come true,” as the company slogan goes.

Like any business that hits it big, Furry Tails has evolved into a one-stop shop for everything that has to do with pets. It sells a wide selection of pet food and accessories.

Don’t be surprised, though, if your pets’ calendars will soon be filled with their own activities.

For kids, seeing Furry Tails mascot Lhulu Shih Tzu would be a treat. There’s also the live dog mascot named Rafa; a cream chow-chow, who greets clients at the entrance and socializes with pet clients and pet parents.

Or does the pet parent have other plans for the day? No problem.

The recently opened fifth store at SM Megamall, fifth level, Bldg. A (near car park entrance/exit door) has a dog jacuzzi and a doggie daycare with a playground kit where dogs can interact and play together while pet parents attend to other errands. They can pick up their “babies” before closing mall hours. No overnight lodging is provided, though.

Because pet dogs are treated as truly special members of the Filipino family, Furry Tails has pulled out all the stops to offer products and services to include our furry friends in the pet parents/owners’ day-to-day activities as much as possible. As in all of its branches, the pet boutique at SM Megamall carries a wide variety of dog supplies such as clothes and costumes, travel bags, backpacks, sling bags, strollers, trolleys, tents, potty trainers, beds, cooling mats, grooming and fashion accessories, feeding accessories, frosty bowls, shampoos and conditioners, colognes, anti-flea treatments, pet food and delicious treats.

Being a world-class salon and spa for dogs and dog lovers, it offers services and amenities for man’s best friend’s ultimate pampering experience. Aside from its basic grooming services, Furry Tails offers personalized and creative grooming styles, pet aqua massage, pet massage, pet aromatherapy, pet mud therapy, pet SPA hair treatments, pet hair coloring, PETicure, aromatic bath salt treatment, charcoal bath and other innovative and exciting service packages. And with its new store design comes the state-of-the-art hydraulic grooming tables, grooming equipment and sterilizer.
