New Dubai Luxury Resort for Small Dogs To Open in December
Dubai-based dog care centre, My Second Home, will open a new daycare and boarding centre specially designed for small dogs, as part of their $10 million expansion project.
The new centre, which will be located at Dubai Investments Park 2 (DIP 2), will feature indoor aquatic features, relaxation zones, and large play areas.
The expansion is part of the company’s efforts to meet customer preferences, especially a specialised venue for small dogs.
Just like their existing locations, the centre will provide convenient pet drop-off and pick-up services.
Set to open in December, the 46,000 square feet pet destination will be the third resort-style facility for My Second Home.
The company’s first high-end dog care venture debuted in Dubai Investments Park in 2015, followed by a sister establishment in Al Quoz in 2021.
“The upsurge in pet ownership during the pandemic – particularly of smaller dog breeds and cats – has created huge demand – which we met by building more boarding suites,” said Sean Parker, General Manager at My Second Home.
“Across the DIP and Al Quoz facilities, boarding capacity has now reached 250 dogs and 40 cats,” Parker added.
My Second Home currently manages the well-being and social interactions of around 300 dogs daily, offering boarding, daycare, grooming, and training facilities.
The original centre spans 63,000 square feet and features the world’s largest indoor free-play dog park, three pools, and outdoor off-leash play areas.
The second location offers the same services and quality across 30,000 sq ft.
The new third venue spans a total of 46,000 square feet, including 35,000 square feet of indoor space.
“Bolstered by demand and feedback from our valued members, we’re ramping things up again in Dubai and exploring potential partnerships outside the UAE,” Paul Sowerby, Co-Founder of My Second Home added saying that “the model works – and is very portable.”
