Getting a pet dog might be the best decision you’ve ever made, but it is always accompanied by a rule book when you are a resident of Dubai.
Keeping the man’s best friend as a pet comes at a huge cost, mostly in the form of exorbitant fines.
First and foremost, you must make sure that your dog does not cause any harm to other people or their property. Failure to do so can get you a fine of Dh5,000 and also get your dog impounded.
Improper clean up and inappropriate disposal of dog waste can also prove to be an expensive offence. You might end up paying Dh400 along with giving an undertaking that the offence will not be repeated.
The use of pet dogs for dog-fighting and not putting them in secure places before travelling is strictly prohibited and can lead to their confiscation.
