Pet care and tips for pet parents in the UAE
If you’re a pet parent in the UAE, you know how challenging it can be to get your furry friends from one place to another. Whether it’s a vet appointment, a grooming session, or even a trip to a pet-friendly café, finding safe and reliable transportation can be a hassle. That’s where pet taxis come in!
There’s a growing number of pets being found without any form of identification, and, with no centralised microchip database in the UAE, identifying dogs and cats is challenging.
As pet parents, it’s our duty and responsibility to make sure we are keeping our pets safe and protected. Accidents do happen, dogs can slip leashes, sneak out of a garden and cats can wonder off. However, there are safety precautions you can take, especially if you’re a paranoid pet parent like me!
Is it safe for your cats to go outside?
I’ve had cats all my life and have had both indoor and outdoor cats, but now our rescue cats are happy living indoors only.
Do your cats go outside? Here’s what you need to know as a cat parent living in the UAE.
With an ever-growing number of pet owners in the UAE, our mission to raise awareness on pet safety has never been more important.
Although it’s hard to get a true reflection of how many dogs and cats are living in the UAE, we know through our networks, that the numbers are increasing year on year. It’s great to see we’re living among pet lovers, however, it’s also frustrating to see how many pets go missing, are found and never reunited, are being abandoned, and how many strays suffer on our streets.
A question I see asked so often in Dubai is ‘which cafés and restaurants are dog friendly’. As more people welcome a four-legged friend into their family, and 100’s of dogs are being relocated into the city, it’s plain to see that dogs really are part of the family.
So, where can you go for food, a family / friends catch up, or take your laptop to do some work with your dogs? We’ve put together an ever growing list of dog friendly places you can visit with your floof – ranked in no particular order! We will continue to update this list, so do keep checking back for more information.
We’re committed to helping dogs in the UAE. As part of our ongoing animal welfare mission, we’re supporting local rescuers and charities, to help re-home rescued dogs in need of a forever home. If you’re interested in fostering a dog or adopting, please get in touch with the relevant rescuers.
