Dog Friendly Places In Dubai


A question I see so often in Dubai is ‘which cafés and restaurants are dog friendly’. As more people welcome dogs into their family, and 100’s of four-legged friends are being relocated into the city, it’s plain to see that dogs really are part of our families.

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’ll continue to update our list, so keep checking back for more dog friendly spots in Dubai.

Get ready for a doggy date!

Koko Bay – West Beach, The Palm Jumeirah 

A chic Far East inspired venue on The Palm Jumeirah, is the perfect spot on the beach. Enjoy their tasty menu or get together for drinks whilst relaxing with your pooch on a cabana, daybed, or hammock. Take advantage of the winter months at this beautiful venue before it gets too hot for your dogs.

Keeping Your Pets Safer in the UAE

Where My Paws At has been designed and developed by pet parents for pet parents in the UAE. We’re building a safer, smart pet community to keep your pets safer in the UAE. To get started, download our app and register your pet for FREE.

Our community is growing every day, covering all seven Emirates. Since launching in February 2023, we’ve helped re-unite over 150+ pets and have thousands of pet parents registered with us. We don’t just keep your pets safer, we help save you money on all things pet related. Check out our discounts here.

Please remember, the easiest way for someone to identify your dog or cat is a pet ID tag. Without a pet ID tag, identifying your pet can be disjointed and long winded. They could be mistaken for a stray or an abandoned pet and taken off the streets.

We’re building a safer community using smart technology, keeping your paws safe! Don’t wait until it’s too late – protect your pet for free with our app and smart pet tags in the UAE.

If you have any questions about the smart technology services we provide at Where My Paws At, then feel free to get in touch with us today.
