Pet parents in Abu Dhabi, here’s one for the calendar. Abu Dhabi City Municipality is bringing back its Pet Lovers’ Gathering on November 14 and 15, and this time the venue is Al Khubairah Park.
Dates, Timings And Venue
The gathering runs on Saturday, November 14 and Sunday, November 15, from 5pm to 8pm each evening. The municipality shared the announcement on November 7 and said the event is open to everyone.
What’s On The Programme
This isn’t just a meet-up where dogs sniff each other and call it a day. The line-up includes entertainment shows, along with check-ups for your four-legged companions, so you can have a professional look at how they’re doing while you’re there.
Questions You Can Get Answered
The event is also set up as a place to learn. Wondering how often to groom your dog, what good teeth-cleaning habits look like, or how much food your pet should actually be eating? The gathering centres on those everyday topics, with plenty of useful information shared alongside the fun.
A Social Evening For Pets (And Their People)
It’s also a chance for owners to connect with other pet parents, and for pets to find some company of their own.
No Pet? You Can Still Drop By
Because the event is open to everyone, you don’t need to own a pet to turn up. If you’re thinking about getting one, an evening around other owners, with information on grooming, feeding and dental care on offer, is a decent way to find out what looking after an animal day-to-day involves.
A Few Tips Before You Go
Since it’s an evening event in a public park, a little planning helps:
- Arrive early if you want time to catch the shows without rushing.
- Keep your pet on a lead and carry water for them.
- If you’d like a check-up, bring along anything your vet has shared about your pet’s health.
These are simply sensible suggestions rather than official requirements, so look at the municipality’s channels for any rules on the day.
Your Weekend Plan, Sorted
There was another small gathering in September at Al Shamkha Square. If you caught that one, this edition gives you a second go at a new location. With an easy 5pm start, it fits an after-work plan as well as a relaxed weekend outing. Grab the lead, charge your phone for photos, and take your best friend out for the evening.
