A staycation to stay well-rested

Just like how a trip overseas can do wonders for your mind and soul, so will a pet staycation with your favourite fur buddy. Practice social responsibility and postpone the staycation to another day if you are feeling unwell. Otherwise, enjoy some self-healing time and surprise your pet with a special vacation instead of the usual treats from online pet stores! You both deserve it!
