Due to the enhanced community quarantine that has caused almost all establishments in Luzon to close, people have started buying essentials such as alcohol, face masks, and food. Most households have stocked up on their food supply to reduce the chances of catching COVID-19 from going outside.
However, it is not only humans who are deeply affected by this pandemic. Animals, especially house pets, are affected as well. If you’re a pet parent, you might be worried about where you can get pet food for your furry friends as most pet stores are now closed. Luckily, there are still some stores that are open and are more than willing to provide healthy and delicious food for your fur babies. Check out this list of places where you can buy pet food so you can keep your pet healthy, too!
The store offers various premium, additive, and preservative-free pet food from the USA.
