I’ve moved countries twice with our fur kids and know how stressful it can be! Our first relocation was Dubai to Qatar just before the blockade hit, and then back to Dubai 12 months later when the blockade was still in place.
Like every pet parent that has flown their fur kids, I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. With so many companies offering pet relocation, I wanted to make sure my fur kids were in the best possible hands and their journey would be as stress free as possible.
Whether you’re a cat parent or a dog parent in the UAE, the chances are at some point, you will need someone you trust to take care of your fur kids when you’re busy or plan to travel. Pet sitters offer flexibility from daily house visits, the occasional drop in, or stay in your home when you travel.
As a dog or cat owner you will know, sometimes our furry friends can get a little stinky and leave your home covered in hair. Sometimes our pets need a helping hand to keep them clean, feeling fresh, smelling fresh and ensuring they are feeling their best all year round.
Becoming a pet parent is an amazing journey, filled with unconditional love, laughter, companionship and joy. However, it comes with a life long commitment and responsibilities that you need to consider.
Most of us are expats living in the UAE and will move on at some point to another Country. It is your responsibility, should you choose to be a pet parent, to take your pets with you when you leave the UAE. If you can’t commit to this, being a pet parent is not for you here! If you want to have a dog or cat, but can’t yet fully commit, consider fostering.
If you’re a seasoned cat parent or new to having a feline friend, certain cat behaviours can leave you, well, chasing your tail.
I’ve had cats all my life and I like to think I know enough about cats and their quirks. However, after speaking with The Cat Consultant, my mind was blown! With so many different shapes, sizes and ‘breeds’ sometimes it takes an expert to help you when your cat starts behaving badly.
We’ve all seen and heard of dog trainers, but have you heard of cat behaviourist? I caught up with the amazing Lorey, the owner of The Cat Consultant, and you’ll want to know what she had to say!
When a pet goes missing, the first few minutes / hours are critical, especially during the summer months in the UAE. The easiest way to remember what steps to take is S.P.A.C.E (Search, Pet Poster, Alert the community, Contact the vets and municipality, Educate others).
Statistics show 1 in 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime and with an estimated 2 million pets here in the UAE alone, that means over 600,000 pets will get lost.
If you’ve ever lost your cat or dog, you will know how it feels when they go missing. You will know the feeling of helplessness, stress and panic. There’s been nothing in place ( until now ) to help you in your time of need, and that’s why WHERE MY PAWS AT is a necessity for every cat and dog parent!

Since launching Where My Paws At in 2023, this is a question I often ask myself.
The definition of a community according to the Oxford Dictionary is ‘a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common’.
It plays a vital role in our lives, providing a sense of belonging, support and practical help. In the context of pet safety, communities help ensure that pets are cared for and protected through collective efforts and resources.
Having access to emergency veterinary services is crucial for all pet owners and Where My Paws At understands the significance of your furry friend’s well-being.
We’ve compiled a list of emergency vet services in Dubai, providing you with the essential information in your time of need.
