According to Lao Dong reporters' records, pet care stores in Tu Liem ward, Thanh Xuan (Hanoi) in recent days have been receiving a large number of customers during the approaching Lunar New Year.
Accordingly, for dog and cat care services, a store on Vu Tong Phan street (Hanoi) offers room types for customers to choose from. Rooms are usually iron cages with separate toilet trays, priced from 80,000 - 250,000 VND/day, depending on the accompanying service.
High-class room with steel core material combined with tempered glass, with private, comfortable space for pets, prices vary depending on size from 250,000 - 270,000 VND/day.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Linh - an employee at a pet care store in Hanoi - said that in the last days of the year, the demand for sending and taking care of pets is very high. Her store welcomes about 20-30 customers each day.
Most of the customers who send them are people returning to their hometown for Tet, and families in Hanoi send them to travel and visit relatives during the 2026 Lunar New Year holiday" - Ms. Linh said.
In addition to pet care services, these stores also sell specialized foods, beauty spas, fur trimming, and massages for pets near Tet. These beauty service packages are priced higher than usual days by about 20,000-50,000 VND/time.
A store owner doing business in dog and cat keeping and care services in Tu Liem ward (Hanoi) informed that due to the high demand of people at this time, the store has to mobilize more staff to meet the work, so the prices of services will also be slightly higher than usual days.
According to the store representative, the unit has publicly announced the Tet price on the fanpage for customers to decide to use the service. After Tet, if customers cannot receive their pets, the daily price will be calculated according to the normal day price.
Spending more than 1 million VND to use pet care services for 4 days of Tet holiday, Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga (living in Bach Mai ward, Hanoi) is also willing to pay a fee to have her pets taken care of thoughtfully during the days when the whole family travels and visits distant relatives.
Usually, pet lovers like Ms. Nga, when using the service, will pay attention to the pet's diet and rest regimes and commitments from the store.
According to the 2026 Binh Ngo Lunar New Year holiday plan announced by the Ministry of Home Affairs, this year's Tet holiday schedule for officials, civil servants, and public employees lasts 9 consecutive days, while employees working in non-state sectors are entitled to a minimum of 5 days of leave as prescribed.
