Some of you might have read the headline of this story and asked, “Why would anyone want to bring a pet to a dealership?”
Well, there are several reasons we can think of. Maybe your pet doesn’t deal well with being left alone, and there’s no one else in the house on the day of your dealership visit. Maybe you want to save time and check out a car in the showroom on the way home from a vet visit. Or maybe you travel everywhere with your pet, so you want your furbuddy’s approval before you buy a brand-new ride.
Whatever your reason may be, Jetour Auto Philippines (JAPI) is now welcoming pets of all shapes, sizes, and breeds at all its dealerships nationwide. Since the start of October, all showrooms have had a ‘pet-friendly establishment’ sticker on their doors.

“We at Jetour Auto Philippines are very much aware how beloved our pets are in our households,” said Cherry May De Los Santos, the brand’s marketing director. “In fact, nearly all of us here at JAPI also take care of at least one animal companion at home. They not only give us unconditional love and so many happy, playful memories, but also teach the younger members of our family how to responsibly care for another living being.
“We would like to extend this loving space for animals to our showrooms and dealerships. Customers need not leave their pets at home when they go to our showrooms. They can already bring them along, and who knows, our furry friends might even help their human companions make that all-important decision to also make a Jetour vehicle a part of their family.”
As a courtesy to other visitors and pets in the dealership, just take note of the following:
