Walk, Play & Jump With Your Doggo In The Snow

Dubai-aites can now take their doggos for a fun time in the snow at our very own Ski Dubai. The snow park now has a special package for dogs, where they can enjoy 20 minutes of fun in the snow. All pups must be accompanied by a dog parent. You can schedule your furry friend’s play date on 11, 18, 24 or 25 September.  Slot timings will be determined by the number and breed/size mix of dogs booked. The first dogs will arrive at Snow Park at 7:15 am and the latest time slots end at 8:45 am. Ski Dubai’s ‘play in the snow with your dog’ is priced at AED 105 per pup.

How To Book A Slot?

Existing MySecondHome Members can book directly by emailing info@mysecondhomedubai.com. Depending on when your dog last came to play in MySecondHome’s Dog Park, Board or attend Daycare, he or she may need to be reassessed. Non-Members must first undergo a MySecondHome assessment.

In order to qualify for an assessment, your dog/s should be:

1. Neutered or spayed if over 8 months of age
2. Have all annual vaccinations up to date
3. Have the additional kennel cough vaccination
4. Complete a VacciCheck if under 2 years of age for parvovirus, hepatitis and distemper

All Dogs Will Undergo An Assessment Process

Once all 4 criteria have been met, you can then email info@mysecondhomedubai.com to register your Snow Day interest and book your complimentary assessment.Your dog will do a meet and greet off leash in one of our Dog Parks (owner present). Ski Dubai authorities will then check if your dog has in any way protective or resource guarding behaviours and make sure it’s able to communicate effectively with other dogs and their owners in a social environment. When your dog passes this initial step, he/she will then be taken to an appropriate group in our Daycare to see how he/she copes without the owner present.

In order to pass the assessment, your dog will need to be able to communicate effectively with other dogs, be calm around people and be able to engage in a pack environment without showing fear or anxiety.

What Will The Snow Play Be Like?

Regardless of the snow play time slot that’s been allocated, dog parents will need to drop their dogs at Mysecondhomedubai Al Quoz between 6:15 am and 6:30 am. All dogs will be welcomed by MSH Handlers and loaded into dedicated MSH vehicles for their journey to Ski Dubai. The team will then leave here at 6.30 am sharp and won’t be able to wait for latecomers. There is no refund as well, so be on time!

Dog parents will then head to the main public entrance of Ski Dubai (in Mall of the Emirates) to get prepared and wait for their time slot. Dogs will be brought directly from Mysecondhomedubai Al Quoz to the service entrance of Ski Dubai and will meet their dog parents in the snow park. Once the allotted time is over, the dogs will be taken via the service entrance back to Mysecondhomedubai Al Quoz where they can be collected by their dog parents.
