MAD is Barking about: Dog Runs and more....

As we can see from Stark and RAVING's posts, Singapore is very far from being a dog friendly place as there are limited places for our pooches to roam about and be their usual doggy selfs.
Let's see what other places we have in our concrete jungle that allows us to bond with our furry friends.
1. Bishan Park Dog Run (AMK ave 2)

Like Raving pointed out, there is a dog friendly restaurant there where you can hang with your pet after the dog run. This dog run is quite popular as it is in a central location and there is a car park nearby making this park very accessible.



2. West Coast Park Dog Run ( Location is quite self explanatory. Parallel to West Coast Highway. Largest dog run in SG)

Convenient location for dog owners in the West. Quite a peaceful and tranquil place and cool place for dog owners to meet up on the weekends.




3. Katong Park Dog Run (Junction of Fort Road and Meyer Road)
Dog owners in Katong bring their pooches to this small fenced dog run that has some agility facilities.

4. Jurong Lake Dog Run ( Off Yuan Chin road)

Apparently it's not well sign posted, car park is a long way off and not the easiest place to get to. Let's just be thankful it's at least an option!




5. Pet Mover's Dog Run (Pasir Ris Farmway. Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, Sat & Sun 9.30am-8pm)

This is privately run and even has a wading pool and a cafe. This place is quite popular as dog owners can shop at the Pets Megamart that has an extensive range of pet products.




6. Animal Resort Off Leash Park (81 Seletar West Farmway 5)

This is a little known place as it is quite inaccessible so do not even attempt to get there without a car. This animal resort which houses chickens, geese, horses etc, also has a dog run area with agility facilities.




7. K9 Kulture (100 Turf Club Road)

This is a doggy day care complete with boarding, training facilities, swimming and a cafe. It's swimming facilities are pretty cool and I chose the below pic from their website coz it features a Boxer!! (Yes I'm biased like that..deal with it!)




This week The Barking Ladies have shown you places that you can bring your pooch to in Singapore. It may not be much but it is still a massive improvement compared to 10 years ago. Hope more dog runs emerge over the next few years so that dog owners will have many delightful options to choose from!

If we have missed out on any places then please feel free to drop us a note to let us know!
