PAWS IN THE CITY: Your Pet’s Guide to Surviving Dubai Summer

Dubai summer isn’t just tough on us, it’s ‘ruff’ on pets too. With soaring temps and sizzling pavements, our furry friends deserve extra pampering this season. Whether you’ve got a posh Pomeranian or a chill cat who rules your apartment, Vivaan Shenoy walks you through your ultimate pet guide to keeping tails wagging all summer long.

Stay Indoors Midday:
Walks before 9 AM or after 6 PM only. Pavement burns are real! Stick to shaded spots.

Pro-tip: Check out pet-friendly spots like JLT Park or The Pointe.

Cool Eats & Treats:

Try frozen watermelon chunks (seedless!), pet-friendly ice cream, and hydration-boosting wet food. Make sure fresh water is always available even on car rides.

Hot pick: Bowls & Bones in City Walk stocks summer snacks, cooling gear, and treats your pet will beg for.

Groom Smart:
Don’t shave your pet! Just trim and brush regularly. Check out the places below for summer-ready grooming.
Dubai Spots to Try: Pet Pavilion, Shampooch, and The Pet Shop’s grooming lounges are all summer-ready.

Splash Time!: 

Some pets love a good swim and yes, Dubai delivers.

My Second Home (Al Quoz) – A pet hotel with a pool!

Petsville (Dip) – Hosts summer pool days and pet socials

Dogventure HQ – Offers splash sessions and hydrotherapy

Always supervise your pet while swimming and rinse off chlorine after.

Travel or Staycation?:  If you’re jetting off, leave your pet in trusted paws. Dubai has luxe boarding like:

Urban Tails – A literal pet resort

Posh Pets – VIP suites and cameras so you can peek in

Cloud 9 Pet Hotel – Air-conditioned everything

Final Woof: Summer in Dubai doesn’t have to be a drag. With smart planning and some pampering, your four-legged buddy can enjoy the season just as much as you do, minus the sunburn.
