Moving to ruwais with our dog

Hi there!

It's possible my husband and I will be going to Ruwais for a period of 3 years.
We are very excited because (hopefully) it will be a great adventure for us! But we don't want to go without are best friend 'Tommy'. He is a fantastic dog and it's impossible for us to leave him behind. I would like to have some more information from petowners who live in Ruwais.

- Is it nice for dogs there?
- Is there a beach where they are allowed?
- Can you buy good food/medicins for your pet?
- Are dogs allowed in the apartments?
- Is it easy to find an apartment/house where pets are allowed?

We are a little bit worried that the apartment that my husbands company provides, will not allow pets.

Greetings,
Liz

Thanks you for sharing this information.

Are there a lot of people with dogs in Ruwais?
Can you give us the name of the beaches where dogs are allowed?
Are there dogparks where they can run in freedom in Ruwais or somewhere nearby?

Greetings,
Liz

no dog park.

you have to take your dog to the park tied. if you need free play to him you must go to the desert

night it might be help.

Ok, that's good to know. So we can go to the park/ adnoc beach with him

Thank you!
It's a good thing our dog really loves the sand if we have to go to the desert to play with him in freedom

Greetings,
Liz

Hi Liz

can you let me know how you get on with your dog? I am hoping to move over to Ruwais next year and It pains me to leave my dog behind. I had thought about putting him in dog accommodation (if there is one in Ruwais) and taking him out every day. Otherwise I would test the waters out once I am over there. Best of luck with your fur baby.

Hello, Liz,
It was some time ago you made your post about bringing your dogs to Ruwais.
I'm interested to know how you made out.

Thanks,
