5 Best Pet Shops in Abu Dhabi (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 7 min read

Pet shops in Abu Dhabi cover very different ground, from a five-star kitten seller to the sprawling, decades-old animal market downtown. Together the shops on this page have logged over 4,100 Google reviews, and the review counts alone range from 238 up to 1,788, so a single blanket recommendation would miss how differently each one actually operates.

Short answer: Cute Pets holds a perfect 5.0 across 1,094 reviews, the strongest combination of rating and volume on this page, and specializes in Scottish Fold kittens with home delivery. The Abu Dhabi Animal Market carries the deepest history and the most reviews overall at 1,788, though its 4.1 rating reflects more mixed feedback than the specialist shops. The Petshop Al Reem Island Megastore rounds out the shortlist at 4.8 stars for everyday supplies.

Our take: Worth visiting for variety and history, but it's a market of independent vendors rather than one accountable business, so the usual buyer caution applies more here than anywhere else on this page.

Watch: 5 Best Pet Shops in Abu Dhabi (2026)

How we score these shops

Rating is the live Google average for each business. Review volume ranks how many customers have actually rated them against each other. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from over a thousand reviews carries more certainty than a 4.8 from a couple hundred. Recency checks how current review activity is. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do pets and supplies cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

None of these shops publish fixed public pricing for animals or supplies in their Google listings, and cost varies enormously by species, breed, and whether you’re buying a purebred kitten or a bag of food. Ask each shop directly and, for live animals, ask about health checks and paperwork included in the price.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These five span Al Zahiyah, Al Nahyan, and Al Reem Island, covering the older downtown pet trade around the animal market as well as the newer retail developments further out. A pet shop near me search anywhere in Abu Dhabi should reach at least one of these within a short drive.

What to ask before buying from a pet shop

Can I see health records or vaccination history for a live animal before purchase?
Is delivery included, and how are animals transported?
What’s the return or refund policy if a pet has a health issue after purchase?
Is the shop licensed to sell live animals in Abu Dhabi?
Do you offer follow-up vet visits or microchipping after purchase?
For supplies, do you price-match or offer loyalty discounts for regular buyers?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these pet shops?

We looked at pet shops and pet markets in Abu Dhabi with real Google ratings and review volume, then ranked them by rating, review count, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Is it better to buy from a market or a specialist shop?

A specialist shop like Cute Pets typically gives more direct accountability and follow-up care, while the animal market offers far more variety but spans many independent vendors, so buyer caution matters more there.

Do these shops sell dogs as well as cats?

Coverage varies by shop. Some, like Cute Pets, focus heavily on kittens, while the animal market and megastore carry a broader mix of species including dogs, birds, and fish.

The bottom line

Cute Pets is the safest default if you’re buying a purebred kitten, given its perfect rating and consistent delivery praise. For everyday supplies or aquarium setup, PetCare and The Petshop’s megastore are the more practical stops, and the animal market is worth a visit for variety as long as you stick to reputable stalls.
