Top 15 Dog-Friendly Places In KL & PJ

1. Desa ParkCity

The Waterfront at Desa ParkCity is a beautiful location. This spot is a favorite among many dog owners. The large area and all the running tracks allow mutual exercise or just a long colorful walk. This pet-friendly park is also the perfect place for your pup to socialize and make new friends while you relax.

This huge dog park has room for plenty of fun for owners. It is also surrounded by cozy cafes where you can bring your dog for a delicious snack and a quick rest.

During weekends, it’s common to see events and bazaars where dog owners can shop some delicious food, treats or the latest merch for their pup. Sometimes, we also drop by selling our healthy, raw nutrition foods and treats for pets.

We have written more specifically about The Waterfront and Desa ParkCity Pet Bazaar in another blog post – you can check it out here.

Address: Desa Parkcity, 52200 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

2. Central Park Bandar Utama

This is the only park in Klang Valley that allows dogs.

We would say that this park is considered one of the underrated dog-friendly places as compared to The Waterfront. It is located opposite the New Wing of 1 Utama Shopping Centre. However, this dog park is way less crowded than the huge shopping mall. Central Park offers long tracks surrounded by trees and a big nice lake. It’s a great place for you and your pup to walk around, relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

If you go to the park on a weekend, I guarantee you that you will meet other dog owners. It’s a fantastic way for you and your dog to socialize.

You can also sign your dog up for obedience training if you think he needs some manners. That’s organized by Canine Sportzclub.

Address: Dataran Bandar Utama, Bandar Utama, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

3. Poozie n’ Beach

Poozie n’ Beach is another dog-friendly place that functions as a cafe/daycare/grooming service. It is located in Sunway Nexis Kota Damansara.

And don’t let it fool you by the Louis Vuitton-vibes from the outside – this posh place is actually for dogs, not handbags.

Pet-owners are loving Poozie n’ Beach and for a good reason. This pet cafe got it all – a lot of dogs, a nice atmosphere and a super friendly staff. Customers can bring their own food or order delivery and enjoy their meals while waiting for their furkids for grooming. And if your pup is extra well-behaved you can check out their selection of dog foods and snacks.

  1. Hey guys. I’m Malaysian but living in Australia. I plan to return to Malaysia for good, and I realise the custom of Malaysian with dogs. Fortunately, when I found this page, I felt delighted and comfortable bringing my furbaby to live in Malaysia. All I can say, it’s amazing to see how Malaysian have changed their opinion towards pets, especially dogs. Hopefully, there will be more pet-friendly places in the future.

    1. Thanks for the suggestion Nicole! We will definitely check out that place and include it in the post as well 😀

  8. There’s a place called KopenHagen in the Mont kiara area that allows dogs! Seen a couple of small breeds there, though I’m not sure about large breeds. There’s also a place called One Half in Paramount, dogs are allowed but only outside. Lastly, there’s a cafe called Huckleberry located in Bukit Damansara. Dogs are only allowed outside and they must be well behaved. Do check them out, would love to see how it goes.

    1. Thanks for your suggestions Chloe! We’re going to Fiesta Nite at Plaza Mont’ Kiara next Thursday where we’ll be having a booth – we’ll make sure to check KopenHagen out.
      We’ll check out One Half in Paramount & Huckleberry as well.

    2. For Kopenhagen Cafe, if your dog (any size, any breed) is well-behaved and doesn’t bark at anything and everything, then yes. I’ve brought my German Shepherd there for a few times. It’s indeed a good place to chill with good coffee and desserts.
