TOP DOGS TOGETHER
What's On Dubai|June 2020
There’s a reason why dogs are man’s best friend – and it’s not just because we both love steak and exercise. Before you explore the following pages of pups looking for their furever home, What’s On breaks down everything you need to know about owning a pet in the UAE
TOP DOGS TOGETHER

Sometimes the only thing that makes this crazy world feel like home is a semi-feral desert dog that watches you while you eat. And sleep. And go to the bathroom. The point is, having a dog changes your life. Fun fact: Dog people are fitter people. Take home man’s best friend and you’ll clock up to five hours of walking every week. Own a dog and you’re on your way to building a stronger heart, living longer, and having access to stress relief on demand: just 10 minutes of playing with your dog leads to a dramatic drop in levels of the stress hormone cortisol. They offer companionship, help boost your mood, and, most importantly provide endless entertainment – just ask anyone who has been lucky to own a dog during quarantine. Of course, it’s not all licks and belly rubs. Dogs will have a huge impact on your life and if you’re seriously thinking about bringing one into your pack there’s a lot you need to be aware of.

Chew on this

Say goodbye to sleeping in on Fridays. Your dog depends on you for food, exercise and toilet breaks and once you start them on a routine, they’re going to be following it every single day. And no more eleventh-hour travel plans, either. Unless you have a mate who is cool with dropping everything to watch your dog – if so, can we have their number? – you’ll have to arrange for boarding at least a week or more in advance.
