Holidays and trips home are top of the ‘happy’ list here in Singapore, but they can get tough when you face the prospect of leaving your dog/hairy child behind. Luckily, we’re pretty well-equipped when it comes to centres specialising in daycare and boarding – ensuring that your dog, cat or rabbit will be well fed, watered, loved and kept active while you’re away. In case you’re relocating, a few of the companies listed below will handle the whole importation and exportation of your furkid, too.
