EPISODE 78 OF THE SMÈČKA PODCAST: Dog Owners in Dubai: How It Works in the City

In this unconventional episode of the Smečka podcast, Eliška takes you straight to Dubai and shows you what life is like with a dog in one of the warmest and fastest growing cities in the world. You might think Dubai is not at all suitable for dogs, but the reality will probably surprise you.
You will learn how the attitude towards keeping dogs in the Emirates has changed in recent years, which breeds are allowed and which are not, how registration, vaccinations and mandatory documents work. Eliška describes why it is the norm to walk dogs early in the morning and late at night, how dog daycares and walking services work, and how the movement and safety of dogs in extreme temperatures is addressed.
You'll also learn about dog parks, a special dog beach, hotels and apartment buildings that already allow dogs, and where to buy food, accessories and equipment in Dubai. There's also a comparison of veterinary care, grooming and daily expenses costs with the situation in Europe, and a reminder of what to expect when living with a dog abroad.
This episode is perfect for anyone traveling, thinking about working abroad, or just wanting to get a glimpse into the world of dog owners outside of Europe. Listen to a report from a place that shows you that even in the desert, a dog can have a fulfilling and happy life - if you know how.🐾❤️
