Pet Parties Dubai evolved from the Animal Care Centre, which was established back in 1980 and was the UAE’s first boarding kennels and cattery and one of the first veterinary practices for domestic animals in the United Arab Emirates. They were not a charity organisation but could never say no to an animal in need and often treated and cared for abandoned dogs and cats at their own cost. As word spread about the newly founded hub for animal care in the UAE the Centre began receiving calls about exotic animals in need of help. These animals, often overlooked and misunderstood, required specialized care that few could provide. Guided by their unwavering love for animals, Animal Care Centre extended their arms to these unique creatures.
Over the years, the Animal Care Centre Dubai became a refuge for exotic animals, providing them with the care and love they deserved. The animals lived at the Animal Care Centre founder, Julie’s home along with her two children and other pets as one big family!
About 15 years ago, Julie, inspired by the incredible bond her and her children formed with their unusual rescued pets envisioned a way to share her enchanting animals with the children of the UAE. She wanted to create interactive learning experiences that would not only foster a deep connection between children and animals but also nurture values of compassion, responsibility, and empathy. This was the vision that started the UAE and the Middle East’s first mobile Petting Zoo, Pet Parties Dubai!
