Have you had your little pooch begging you with those innocent puppy eyes hoping that you’d bring them along with you? Well, you are not the only one. We too, spend at least 5 minutes every single day at the door assuring them that we’d be back in a few hours. However, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t guilty leaving them all alone. *inserts crying emoji*
Why not bring your pooch along to your next gathering? We have compiled a fun list of dog-friendly places: cafes, beaches and even a hotel, that allows you to spend some time with your fur-kid! No more sad, droopy eyes staring back at you. Plus, they also get to socialise and make some new friends. That’s definitely a win-win for doggy and us!
Dog-Friendly Restaurants/Cafes
Admit it, all of us dog owners secretly wish all cafes are dog-friendly.
We’re glad to announce that this secret dream of ours is actually coming true. There are quite a few dog-friendly cafes with excellent food in Singapore.
Not all of them have separate menus for our furry friends though, but we are sure that they are contented just lying around and spending time with us!

Dog Runs
We are guilty of not letting our furry friend run around enough because our homes are just too small – no giant backyards or big gardens. Our doggies are surely bored of the usual walks around the neighbourhood.
There are a few fenced up areas in Singapore called dog runs. These facilities are created just for our cute little ones. Remove those leashes and set them free, so they can enjoy the freedom of being in the great outdoors at least for awhile. We reckon they’d be so happy (and tired!) afterwards.
1) Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park
An area that spans over 3km – we get why this place is a hot favourite on the weekends! There is also a fenced area designated for the bigger doggies out there.
Bishan Park
Along Bishan Road and Ang Mo Kio Ave 1, Singapore 569981

2) West Coast Park
A place for the Westies! The park is open at all times so you can head there for a workout with your dog any time of the day.
On top of providing biodegradable poo bags, water taps are also available, just in case our little ones get thirsty.
