The country is now more appreciative of pets. Compared before, almost 8 out of 10 households has a furry friend in them! The other 2 homes probably have people living with a love for animals but have valid reasons why they can’t house one. Good thing, pet cafes such as Wolf and Bear and Bengal Brew (twin pet cafes!!!) in Cubao were established!
Living in Cubao, visiting Wolf & Bear is something I would not miss for the world! I may be a part of that 8 out of 10 household but that simply was never enough! Every dog is a friend you have to meet!
My first visit was during their first year of operation. I met their Alaskan Malamute family lead by their alpha, Sumo! I saw how Betty the St. Bernard outgrew her leg issue through therapy which the owner and staff had lovingly supported. I saw the then puppies Greywind, Ghost, and Nymeria plus the gentle giants magkumare, Summer and Winter which I lovingly hugged and clung onto the majority of my stay there.
Over the years, I visited 2 more times and saw many addition and changes to the family. Bella who was a constant buddy of Inigo had her hair trimmed but still showed a familiar love for my partner. We met Kaos, the shib who I had fun hugging and protecting because hey, it’s not easy being the new kid! Danielle the great dane, although new, was the exact opposite! She ensured she greeted everyone and shared a little bit of her busy schedule with them. Coby is also a sight to see and knowing he can devour tennis balls is amazing! Did you know that he can fit up to 4 balls in his mouth?!
It was also delightful meeting Sari’s new litter which is like a set of cotton balls! Sumo was on a break during my latest visit, though, I guess it’s tough being a father!
Everytime I visit, I have sunk deeper into fondness of them. I love their stories and seeing them grow! The food is great too! Their Cafe Bengal is something that you will take time consuming and enjoying despite the inevitably cute distraction. The snacks are good too!
The handlers are friendly! Unlike reviews over the social media platforms where they were called masungit, they weren’t any hint of that. They may come of as strong but that’s perfectly understandable. You have got to impose authority when you’re handling bears or big dogs for that matter! More than being handlers, their trainers as well. So for those of you who complained, please get over yourself and try to understand!
I will continue coming back to Wolf and Bear! It’s Bengal Brew Cat Cafe’s twin sister so I always get my money’s worth. They have a membership card that is packed with rebates and discounts and this is further pushing their good customer service to a higher tier! I’ll let you guys know if I’ve used every perk! See you there and I hope going here becomes your tradition too!
