From pet friendly cafes to dog parks, be prepared to mark your outings on your calendars as we’ve listed down the best dog friendly places in KL & PJ for you and your pup to have a great time together!
Even though this article primarily focuses on dog friendly cafes, restaurants and parks, some of the locations allow both dogs and cats.
Psst… If you are looking for pet food, you can check out our premium cat food and premium dog food on our website. Enough talk, let’s explore some pet friendly cafes, pet friendly restaurants and dog parks.
Top 17 pet friendly cafes, pet friendly restaurants and dog parks in KL & PJ
1. Desa ParkCity
The Waterfront at Desa ParkCity is a beautiful location. This spot is a favourite 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.
Desa ParkCity dog park has room for plenty of fun for owners. It is also surrounded by cosy cafes where you can stop by with your dog for a delicious snack and a quick rest. Oh, and one of the cafes is a pet friendly cafe where you and your dog can get seated. We will mention this pet friendly cafe later on in this article, so read along.
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, premium 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.

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 parks 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.
There is not a pet friendly cafe here but you can instead 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

The Square re-opened in 2019 – a cohesive offering of co-working space called CommonGround.work. Several pet friendly restaurants like Tommy Thong Chai, Smores and etc. Plus, pet events, performing art space and office suites.

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.
Yes! We’re really fortunate that there are more dog friendly places around nowadays 🙂

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.
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.
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.
That’s a good point! Despite being dog friendly, it’s always important to make sure your dog can contain his excitement 😉
I find blue cow cafe also very good. Has menu for dog too
Interesting Nicki! We’ll definitely check that out. Always nice to explore new dog-friendly places.
