Buying a puppy or a bag of food in Dubai means picking between big general chains and small specialists, and the two paths lead to very different experiences. Pet shops here have logged more than 2,500 Google reviews between them, and ratings span a wide 4.2 to 4.9 range, wide enough that it's worth reading past the star count before you walk in.
Short answer: Petzone carries the largest review base by far at 1,001 reviews, rated 4.2, and stocks nearly everything from food to grooming across multiple branches. Flora and Fauna holds the top rating at 4.9 across 174 reviews as an aquarium and exotic-pet specialist. Several reviewers have raised live-animal welfare concerns at two of the larger stores, worth reading before buying an animal rather than just supplies.
How we rank these pet shops
Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the verified date below, not from opinion or payment. Rating is each business’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, measured against other Dubai pet shops. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on a thousand reviews carries more weight than one built on under 200. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
How much do pet supplies and animals cost in Dubai? (2026)
Pet supply pricing varies enormously by brand and product, and none of these shops publish a single unified price list for retail goods. For live animals, Tom and Jerry Pet Shop’s own site advertises adoption starting from a set fee, which gives a rough sense of the lower end of the market; ask each shop directly for current pricing on the specific animal or product you want.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|
| Adoption fee (Tom and Jerry Pet Shop, lower end advertised) | From AED 1,000 |

What to ask before buying from a pet shop
- If buying a live animal, can I see health and vaccination records?
- Is there a health guarantee period after purchase?
- Can I see the animal’s living conditions before buying?
- Does the store offer independent vet checks or referrals?
- What’s the return or exchange policy on unopened products?
- Is delivery included, and how fast is it for my area?
Frequently asked questions
How did you choose these pet shops?
We started from every pet shop in Dubai with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we rank above.
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.
How often is this updated?
The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.
Should I get an independent vet check after buying a puppy or kitten?
Yes, it’s a sensible precaution regardless of where you buy, and several reviews on this page describe health issues discovered shortly after purchase. Book a vet visit within the first few days.
Do these shops offer grooming and boarding too?
Several do. Petzone, Pet Corner, The Petshop and Tom and Jerry Pet Shop all offer grooming, and some also offer boarding or day care alongside retail.
The bottom line
For pure product range and convenience, Petzone and Pet Corner are the biggest names, while Flora and Fauna is worth a special trip if you’re into aquariums or exotic species. If you’re buying a live animal from any of these shops, read the recent reviews carefully and book an independent vet check soon after.
