Where do I start? I guess this story and its subject are testament to just how far the Chinese nation has come in regard to love and respect for animals. Luluka Pet House is a place that non-discriminately opens its doors wide for all pets of Nanjing, offering everything our fluffy friends’ hearts could desire. Fret not, humankind; Luluka Pet House is not only a hangout sanctuary for our little and not-so-little bundles of joy, but also accommodates a welcoming atmosphere for owners.
Think of it as a hotel / cafe / bar / play house / party space and photo-op hangout, babysitting service for your pet. Got all that? First impressions were met with a rather zoo-like scent that somewhat smacked us in the face the moment the elevator doors opened into the cafe. That said, those present probably have a pet and are likely pretty used to “eau de chongwu”, which to be fair one does get used to after some time.
At present accommodating only dogs and cats, the cafe’s layout boasts a large outdoor space, indoor ball pit and plenty of space for lounging around. A coffee and beer selection is available for human consumption, while pets are given nothing but the finest cuisine made from quality ingredients such as olive oil, french imported cheese (fit for animals), imported beef from Australia and fresh vegetables. Any food left over at the end of the day is dried and given to strays on the streets.
Luluka Pet House appears genuinely passionate about animals and their interactions with human life. Once a week, the cafe hosts an interaction day for children with learning difficulties, such as downs syndrome, with dogs especially trained for the purpose. The Nanjinger was told that anyone wishing to volunteer or offer their time will also be made welcome.
Going away for a couple of weeks and wondering where to leave your beloved? Look no further. Luluka Pet House has you covered, with their spacious kennel homes where your pet will be taken care of with love while you are away. Just want some babysitting services while you shop around Xinjiekou? Drop your hound off at Pet House and rest assured they will have just as much fun as you. Or are you relocating back to your country and need help with your pet? Pet House can take care of that too. The company can also hold your dog or cat for a period (or however long it takes) while you fly home and settle in at which point your animal will be fully prepared for leaving and soon on its way to you.
So put your puss in some boots and bounce the day away at Luluka Pet House, grab a coffee or a beer in the sun and get to know some other pet owners, while your best friend sniffs, barks and wags its tail in adulation of its fun new space.
Luluka Pet House is located on 3F, 203 Fengfu Lu 丰富路3楼. Tel: 18605203007
