It is summer! Now this is something that would make me very excited when I said that out loud in Europe. However, in The Middle East, not so much. But that doesn’t mean I want to lock myself up at home during these hot summer months. I still want to go out in my time off, and that time I also want to spend with my dog.
Luckily there are now quite a few cafes and restaurants in Dubai that allow dogs inside. And not only that, there are also a few places that offer discounts!
One company that is known for its discounts with pet businesses is Treats Card. Treats Card offers up to 50% discount with veterinary clinics, groomers, boarding facilities, but also dog friendly cafes and restaurants including a few indoor dog friendly ones. The membership is only AED29 per month and you’ll automatically can try the first month for free.
And then there is our own restaurant etiquette program that we set up together with Ginger’s Way, which is a reward program for certified good puppers.
