OUR STORY
CREATED BY PET LOVERS FOR PET LOVERS
It started with a kiss & beseeching puppy eyes…..
That was all it took & I had adopted another Saluki whom I named “Asal”. Beautiful, temperamental & fast (Asal, not me) she was a liability in open spaces. With no safe place to allow this super speedy Saluki to run freely, the seeds for creating Dubai’s first outdoor dog park began to germinate. Fast forward 18 months and BarkPark was born!
​
In mid 2020 we launched ‘Boarding@BarkPark Dubai’ offering home style boarding for dogs and for cats.

PASSIONATE ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY
We are as passionate about the environment as we are about the health of our dogs.​ We love our green spaces. Our team understand the importance of balancing the need to effectively manage harmful weeds and pests in our park, our mandate is to protect and conserve the valuable natural landscape. We are committed to pesticide-free, herbicide-free and organic practices to keep our beautiful desert grounds at BarkPark Dubai a healthy place for you and your dogs.
Located in the large dog park you will find a chlorine free swimming pond. We also have smaller cool down pools in our small dog area and drinking water bowls throughout our outdoor space. For all of our bodies of water we chose a natural and non-toxic method of disinfection using ANOSAN TW. It is PH-neutral, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, non-irritant, free of alcohol, aldehydes, dyes & scent. It is safe to drink and an environmentally superior to alternative toxic chemicals.

Asal. The Inventor
She was my inspiration and we all owe our thanks to this precocious princess. If she’d been well behaved I may never have been inspired to create BarkPark, (they do say that necessity is the mother of invention.)
Sarhan. Mr Sensitive
Sensitive & sensible Sarhan is a Saluki with a multitude of allergies. My quest to alleviate Sarhan’s discomfort led me to learn about the benefits of raw feeding of which I am a strong advocate.
Ramadi. The Afghaluki
Ramadi was found in a terrible state and had almost given up on life. He came to me as a foster from Saluki Rescue Arabia. Ramadi blossomed from a shy, frightened dog into the wonderful, happy, exuberant hound. I did his DNA test and it came back as 50% Saluki & 50% Afghan Hound. So he’s known as an Afghaluki’)
THE K9 KITCHEN
A DEEP LOVE OR OUR FURRY COMPANIONS
At the core of our values is a deep love and passion for animals. Whether they are our own pets or those of others, we believe in always acting in their best interests. This philosophy informs everything we do, from the products we design to the services we offer. We firmly believe that every decision we make should be from the perspective of our furry companions, asking ourselves the crucial question: Would my dog like this?
ASTONISHING DIFFERENCE TO OUR DOG'S HEALTH
After extensive research and study on raw feeding for dogs, we discovered the many benefits of raw feeding. The difference it made in Sarhan's health was astonishing - his skin cleared up, his coat grew back, and he was finally able to live a comfortable and happy life. Our friends and fellow dog owners were amazed at the transformation and started asking us to make meals for their own pets.
DETERMINED TO FIND A BETTER SOLUTION
Our commitment to this ethos began with our beloved Saluki, Sarhan. He was plagued with a multitude of allergies, making it difficult for him to enjoy life. We tried every prescription, shampoo, and medication under the sun, but nothing seemed to work. It was heartbreaking to see him suffer so much, and we knew we had to find a better solution.
