Dog-friendly Areas/Hotels/Restaurants in Malaysia
I have many Malaysian friends with doggies. There have been many times that I’ve heard them expressing that they don’t know where they can go with their doggies…
Below is a list compiled from various online sources… I hope it helps. Do take a look and let me know if the information is correct/incorrect… or perhaps there are other places not already on the list! It would be neat if we could have a comprehensive list of all the dog-friendly places in Malaysia!!
Do give your input in the comment section below. Do you know of other places I should include here? Let me know please!

The Chair
I have one chair I usually sit on to do my sadhana, watch a program, read, write, research and so on. But many times I return from my bathroom, Oser girl has taken over my chair. She gives me this look like, it’s her chair! She’s a spunky little schnauzer. The room has so much space, other sofas and places of interest, but my Oser has to hijack my chair always. I have to gently move her over and squeeze in next to her like I did last night into the same chair. We sat together for hours and she fell asleep in my chair huddled against me. Love is sharing a chair even though it’s meant for one occupant at a time. ? Tsem Rinpoche
It is incredible how smart Oser girl is. She can steal the treat away from Dharma boy and so casually. Wow. She is so smart. A must watch short video!! Tsem Rinpoche
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGQcQh3S12U&feature=youtu.be
Great info for those who have pets and they can bring them to dine together. Treat the pets like our family members and can spend time together.
Mumu boy was Tsem Rinpoche’s little Schnauzer. Partly because of Mumu Kechara was started and you must find out why that is. Do read more and see very cute adorable pictures: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/?p=122472

A poem by Tsem Rinpoche
Tsem Rinpoche at Kechara Forest Retreat, Bentong, Malaysia
Bringing home a new puppy is like adopting a new member into your family. Dogs are friendly, loving family the members that make great companions. One of the first tasks Petsafe Wireless uses your home for pets.
Do you know of any dog friendly apartments I can rent in sunway or subang jaya near to sunway area ? Thanks
I want to recommend HOP HOP CAFE Subang SS18. They have a separate section for pet owner and pet.
Hi Rinpoche and thanks for the extensive list of pet friendly places to visit.
I have one that you can add under your restaurant / cafe list :-
Hop Hop Cafe
7, JALAN SS18/6, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia
They have an outdoor air conditioned area for dogs to roam leashed/unleashed and for indoors, they have a rabbit enclosure which are rescued pets.
Hope this helps everyone.

As for the Port Dickson Holiday Bungalows, i have asked them but they said pets are not allowed.. i still tot to bring them over to pd
I brought my dog to jarrad & rowlings and · ficelle and they weren’t too friendly with me. They didn’t even allow my dog to sit on the chair. First few times were ok. But after they told me that my dog couldn’t sit on the chair I never went back. Thanks for the other information though!
Malaysia is one of those places where they do not allow dogs in some areas. And its always nice to find areas where you can take out your dog. So when people tell you location where they allow dogs it is very helpful 🙂 thank you Rinpoche.
Hi.
So very nice of you to put this together. Will share on fb for all my dog people. However pls verify as I do not think Ficelle in Danau business park is dog friendly. There is a big sign that said No Dogs.
I am the coordinator for Dr Dog Program. We provide animals assisted teraphy for disable, autistic children, orphanage and old folks. We are based at K9 Cottage at Bandar Sri Damansara- swimming pool for dogs. Check us out at K9 Cottage FB. Another location where your dogs and you can have fun.
I always bring my schnauzer to the following place.
Ss 2
Taiwan restaurant opposite mc’d – they allow pet to sit outside.
Wong kok char Chan teng. -outdoor only
Famous. Toew chew porridge. – outdoor only
My advise is that you always asked first before bring your pet. Just common. Courtes
They Will be more welcome. Based on experience .
Holy belony I didn’t even know Station 1 cafe allowed dogs! It’s just 15 minutes away from my place.
Thank you so much for posting this! 🙂
I would just like to ask if the Sungai Pertak is STILL Dog friendly? It’ll be awesome if I could take my dogs there for a hike 🙂
great list and thank you very much for sharing.
i’d like to add a couple of places to the list though:
– Alt.Space @ Jaya One (indoor dining is allowed)
– Antipodean Cafe @ Bangsar (outdoor dining only)
– Lewisgene @ Solaris Mont Kiara (outdoor dining only)
IOI Boulevard Puchong outside dining can pet allowed.

Thank you for all the dog friendly hot spots. To add to the list is an interest street in Penang.
What is amazing about Muntri Street in Penang is that there are beautiful boutique hotels and cafes along this street that are dog friendly. The three popular ones are Moontree 47, Kafe Mews and Soul Kitchen. They are welcoming of the dogs which are allowed inside and outside of the cafes.
this list is awesome. I did some research before but this list is extensive for dog owners. Since this list is pretty comprehensive already, I would like to add the following not in the list:-
Food
The Bee (Jaya One & Publika) and Fronterra (Jaya One)
Resort – Sekeping Serendah
Park – Setia Ecopark (they have a proper dog area for dogs. You can let them run loose here without worrying they will run out of the park and get knocked down by cars. They also have bathing and water fountain for drinking facilities here)
Why leave our furry friends locked up at home when we can give them a life of fun and companionship?
Found another pet-friendly cafe called Lilo Art Cafe via facebook –> https://www.facebook.com/LilocafeKD. Looks like they serve meals for your furkids too. 🙂
The information above is super informative and helpful! I have many friends who have to leave their pets at home while they go for a holiday or have dinner with their pet on special days but they cant coz many places do not allow it. I am so gonna let them know so they can plan places to go with their pets… Thank you very much Rinpoche!
This is a great guide to animal-friendly places. It is more difficult to find pet-friendly outlets in Malaysia as opposed to Europe or USA because of the asian culture of not seeing animals as pets. Many Malaysians see dogs as just protection for the house so they leave them outside the house and don’t give them affection. However, i do notice that there is a change in the younger generation where they love their pets and like to take them out – hence this guide will help a lot of pet lovers find somewhere to go!
just a tip – if you have a big dog, do call ahead to check if the outlet allows big dogs. I turned up at Boathouse one day with our weimaraner, Jannic who has since passed away 🙁 , which is a large hound, and they were like oooh we usually accept smaller dogs. But we could stay in the end – because they have tables on the pavement outside the restaurant itself.
Anyway, we have two more dogs and i’m sure we will take them out to one of these places.
Oh btw at Desa Park city, because the park allows dogs, some of the outlets may allow dogs if you tie them up and keep them out of the way of the other diners. We went to an italian place there and took our dog (yes, crazy Zamser) but i can’t remember the name of the outlet.
Yes we go to Amelio for breakfast on the weekend after a morning run.
Thanks Rinpoche for posting this.
Yes there are many places we are not sure we can bring our pets or not, cause some places might be not respectful if you bring dogs along.
Nowadays the awareness of animals’ welfare increases, which shows that people have more loving kindness towards animals.
This is just wonderful list. I am glad there are still places that allow pets into their premises. This means that there is some kind of awareness for dogs in this country. It is good that we have that considering that being dog-friendly is not appropriate for the Muslims of this country. There is always exceptions to the norm of course. It is always good that a country has awareness for any kind of animal because indirectly it means that it is a more humane and compassionate society. I do hope the list will expand and more so for vegetarian eateries as well.
Thank You for sharing these doggies hot spots. Although I do not have a pet dog, but I will recommend this to my friends who have doggies. They might also bring their beloved doggies there. Boathouse is the only dog-friendly restaurant I’ve known so far.
Love, beatrix.

Thanks! Another place- Alt.Space, an office space cum cafe at Jaya One.
At SECRET OF LOUISIANA, Block D 01-01, Lakeside Promenade, they let our pup sit at the table by the lakeside – great food!
Thank you for sharing all these doggie hot spot. I can bring my baby Dzamser to these places. He will be extremely happy 😀 I really love Boathouse. It is the only dog-friendly restaurant I knew prior to this article.
Great list! Now I don’t have to crack my head and think of where I can bring my doggies whenever I want to go out for a snack but cant leave them alone at home!
Thank you for sharing this list, I’m sure there are many people that have been looking for places to take their dogs out to.
Anyone who know more places that allows our furry friends to dine in with us, do share it here!
it is nice to know that these places are dog friendly, i bet the dogs are like ” yes finally a place i can go that is dog friendly besides this house. well be happy doggies i know where to take my doggies now.:D
Dear Rinpoche,
It is very nice to know that there are a lot of dog friendly areas, hotels and restaurants in Malaysia! It is nice to know that now we can dine, have fun and stay with our furry friends instead of leaving
them in a boring pet hotel to be bored to DEATH!
At least we can now spend more time with our pets in the open air and
just chill out and have fun!
If i had a dog it would be a beagle and i would definitely bring my Beagle to BU Center Park so that my dog can have the freedom to run and play.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing these wonderful areas and places which
are dog friendly places.
Love
Jutika

Thank you so much Rinpoche for sharing the information on the various places where we can take our beloved woofers.
The restaurants, parks and even hotel information is very useful. I can now plan where i can go with my babies, that they are welcomed and accepted. And i don’t have to feel guilty going out for a coffee and leaving my babies at home.
On behalf of my 7 babies, thank you Rinpoche !
It’s wonderful to see how much more open our communities are to dogs now and making more animal-friendly places.
Might I also suggest for pet over that there are often doggie-days-out, or pet fairs where you can bring your pets to play games or simply for a day out in the park to socialise with other pets. Check out these websites for information on obedience training classes, shows and events.
Malaysian Kennel Association http://www.mka.com.my/directory.html
http://puppy.com.my/
My Animal Care (excellent site for resources and information about spay/neuter programmes, animal care, rescue and welfare): http://myanimalcare.org/
These are good places to start – I’ve found it helpful to go to one or two fo their events and you’ll be put in touch with other dog lovers and independent animal groups who also organise other events and will be able to further advise you on where you can take your dogs, where to buy the best supplies etc.
Have fun 🙂
Thank you Rinpche for sharing these doggy-friendly places here.
It is actually pretty sad for dog lovers that they usually have to keep their furkids at home when they go out, no matter how much they love their dogs.
I have this feeling that KL is a much more doggy-friendly city than other places in Malaysia. In city like Johor Bahru, it is a luck-factor issue — depending on how familiar you are with the owner of the restaurant and how receptive are the customers there. There are not many restaurants in Johor Bahru that openly welcome dogs. For me, it is a try and error thing.
Sad thing for our dogs than, because they may just as well think that this world is as big as the size of the house and the outdoor park that their owners bring them out for on daily/weekly basis.
It will be nice if more places such as restaurants are more open to pets, so that they can also enjoy what we are enjoying as well. Dogs’ lives are much shorter than ours, wont it be nice if we can share the good and not-so-good memories together?
Thank You for giving us all the Doggies hot spot. Will bring over the doggies to pay visit. :))
