Moving to a Villa With Your Dog in Dubai
Moving takes a whole different toll on us, what more from our pets? As we shift to a new environment adjusting is a whole different story. If you are shifting to an entirely different area with your dog in Dubai, this would feel so new and different that your pet might need some time to adjust.
Although Doggos are generally quite comfortable and content as long as their social group and routine are the same, socializing with other local pets in the area might speed up their adjustment too.
Let us share with you some of the things to consider when moving to a villa with your furry friend.
Top tips for new furry residents adapting to their new home
When you move to a villa with your dog, there are some things you’ll need to do at the new home before your pup can move in. There should be as many places for it to go potty as there would be in your current home.
It’s also important to keep up with their vaccination schedule so they’re not susceptible to diseases while living in this new area. You’ll want to make sure they have enough food and water available, especially if you have been away from home a lot recently.
Tips for an easy transition to the villa
- Plan to find a villa with the right floor plan
- Make sure there are no stairs or steep ramps
- Get your dog used to the villa by bringing her over for walks and walks in the backyard
- Pick up a new toy or ball that is only used in your home for your dog to play with
- Bring an old blanket, bed, or favorite toy from their current home so they feel more at ease
How to care for your dog in Dubai’s heat
Dubai is a hot location that can cause extreme heat and dehydration for your pet. It’s important to ensure that you provide them with plenty of freshwater throughout the day. When it comes to the type of food, it’s advised to feed them high-quality canned food. If your dog is overweight, try giving them less food. There are also a variety of dog parks in Dubai where they can enjoy time outside as well.

The best way to keep your dog secure in a villa area
When you’re living in a villa area, you might be wondering how to keep your dog safe. You may have heard that it’s not the best idea to let your dog run free in the neighborhood here. Most of these areas are gated and have security guards that aren’t going to take kindly to a dog running around.
The best way to keep your dog safe is by putting them on a leash when outside or by getting an electronic fence for your yard. Dogs also need their space and if they’re left inside all day then they’ll get bored and will start digging through trash or peeing on the floor. You must provide them with lots of toys, activities, and people time so they’re happy and well-behaved.
How to prevent digging at the garden
One of the most common problems is that dogs will start to dig in your garden after a while. This can be prevented by covering the soil with stones, wood, or anything else they can’t dig up. A better option would be to replace the soil with sand and then cover it with rocks or bark chips. This will also make it easier for them to cover their waste when they go potty outside.
