It isn’t just the hotels on the island that are packed for the holidays – even boarding houses for our furry four-legged friends are fully booked.
One of the few pet shops that provide boarding service, Sugar Rae Pet Village in Tanjung Bungah, has been fully occupied for most of the holiday season.
Its owner, who wished to be known only as Aunty Kim, said most of her customers were regulars.
“I have kennels of different sizes and the pets are kept here for a few days to a few months.

“We are even fully booked for Chinese New Year. We’ll be closed for a week during the time, but owners can pick up their pets,” she said.
Aunty Kim lets out the dogs separately three times a day to run around the compound or swim in the mini pool.
She said some owners did not mind bringing their own cage when all kennels were taken.
Another pet shop owner, Celyn Chuah of Wonderland II in Tanjung Tokong, said her boarding service was mostly booked for the holiday season, too.
“Other than dogs, we take in cats. We have nine kennels and 30 stainless steel cages,” she said.
Chuah said her customers have also started to make bookings for Chinese New Year.
