Coffee. Dogs. And Everything Nice. | April 2015

My parents are pet lovers and this may be the reason why I love pets especially dogs. Dogs are known as man's best friend. They may not speak in human language but you will feel their care and sincerity especially when we are sick and sad. 

I do have my own dog and he is already 8 years old. He is my baby boy and I can't imagine my life without him. He was there during my junior and senior prom. He was also there during my high school and college graduation. He was there during my debut. In short, my dog is always with me especially in my important events and I want him to be still there when I get married and have kids. 

While me and my colleagues are talking about dogs, we thought of going to a cafe wherein you can play with different dogs. So, we went to Barkin Blends that is located in Katipunan. We are so excited that we even waited an hour and a half just to go inside. 

Pet Cafe originally started in Japan. They do believe that pets can help in taking away the stress of a person. The idea of these places is for the people to be able to "pet and play" with them especially when you are living in a place that pets are not allowed. 

This kind of idea has been popular also to Korea, Singapore, Thailand and now to the Philippines. 
Barkin Blends just opened last September 2014 located at katipunan. 

The store is divided into two parts. The dog zone and the non dog zone. In case you just want to drink,eat or chill non dog zone is for you.
People are obliged to remove their shoes and wear the slippers they provided.


The cafe offers different kinds of dogs. There are chihuahua, Dachshund, Golden Retriever and many more. They are very friendly and accommodating. Their trainer did well! You can hug them, you can kiss them, you can pet them. These dogs are adorable!

Inside the dog zone, there are some caretakers to help the dogs to do some warm ups with the new visitors and they will also take pictures. We really had a great time spending our night with these cute and adorable dogs. 


The cafe have rules that you need to follow like bringing of food inside the dog zone is prohibited, waking up sleeping dogs, horse playing, bringing in other dogs are also not allowed. For more information, you may visit their site at http://barkinblends.com/

"We believe the bond between human and dogs enhances the lives of everyone and every dog."
