Why We're Leaving Dubai 🇦🇪 Our Honest Reasons!

[@wjux]

I left in 2008 , back in 2012 , left in 2015, back in 2019, left in 2023 😅

[@Yabadabaduba]

I have lived in Dubai almost 17 years. I'm from Seattle, a mom, an educator and a cat owner. I just got back from the PNW and am already missing the fresh air and outdoor lifestyle. Schools here are atrociously expensive and you can find free public schools in the US that are as good or better. I don't have a dog, but most folks I know do, and the dog culture there is much more compassionate. You are making a good decision. Wish you all the best.🍀

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you so much for your kindness! Aww Seattle is awesome! We are loving being back in the US with Milka, she gets to have so much fun outdoors! 😀

[@Yabadabaduba]

@@PAWDEGA yay!🐕

[@kenyaecho]

Congrats guys! Wherever you go I know you'll enjoy it! Blessings.

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you 💚

[@shannonelizabethbrainwarri4160]

Wow... thank you so much. I was wanting to move but was concerned about my dogs as I have 3 large border collies.

[@PAWDEGA]

I think you will enjoy this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqqoZWuImqiEaZY We talked in depth about what it's like to live in Dubai with a dog with all the pro's and challenges :)

[@lollekify]

Wow, this are super exciting news! You are such cool adventurers! I wish you all the best and will definitely follow your updates. Warm regards from Hamburg

[@PAWDEGA]

@@lollekify thank you so much 😃 Hopefully we make it to Hamburg soon as well 😍

[@margaretmasenda7361]

All the best for you and have fun

[@hamitummak]

Such amazing news guys. We are really happy for you all. Been a pleasure getting to know you guys in the early years and watch your growth, passion and determination. Always happy to give your time/knowledge with as many pet parents as possible. Truly a massive achievement in such a short space of time. Yes, Dubai may have sped it up. However, no doubt you guys would have smashed it anywhere ! Wishing you all the best and am confident we will see you in the future. Remember, we’re only an hour into the mountains from Malaga airport. Keep in touch. X

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you Hamit! I hope you guys are doing well too! We are so grateful to have met you so early on our journey and thankful for everything that we've learned from you! Give Luna and Rodney a big hug from us!

[@BiancaHarkopf]

Wow. Congratulations to that and all the best for the future ❤ are you in NYC end of September?

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you 😀 We probably won't be in NYC end of September, as we are planning on leaving to Asia in September. But plans can change 😂

[@nathalieandparis]

Love this video! What a beautiful and genuine couple you guys are and your love for Milka is just beautiful and pure ❤ good luck on your move!

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you so much for your kind words! :)

[@TheTawakul]

Thank you for all your care bringing health to so many pets and awareness! Wishing you safety and prosperity including Milka good health most of all. My wish is also that you introduce variety of lean meat for cats specially those suffering from sensitivity. Thank you ❤

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you so much! 😍

[@poonamrajpara1547]

thanks for sharing your thoughts and all the best for your adventures - quick question - how do you travel long hauls with Milka? if you would travel from Dubai to US, Thailand etc- are there any cabin options for dogs or only cargo options? what about quarantines for pets? appreciate any info you may have on this!

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you for watching! We only fly Milka inside the cabin. From Dubai to the US, you have some options, we talked about it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWqyimp9gdiYrdU We do not fly to countries that require quarantines for pets.

[@StefaniaAbdelnour]

This is so exciting for you three! All the best for this new adventure, let me know if you pass by Paris on your travels 😉

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you :D

[@dilansedqi3380]

How exciting!! 😍 I was wondering how you guys are planing to sort out Milka’s food when you guys will be traveling for so long?

[@PAWDEGA]

Good question! We will definitely be packing A LOT of Green Juju Freeze Dried Raw Meals in our suitcase 😀 When we traveled with Milka last year, we really loved the fact that we were able to feed her Green Juju Freeze Dried Raw meals on the go. It was super convenient and we did not have to compromise the quality of her diet while traveling.

[@maisheba4508]

Thank you guys for introducing us pet owners to amazing products that our furry friends need. It’s such a struggle to order these products abroad. lol customs drama .. 😅 Wishing you 3 all the best❤

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you so much 💗 We are so grateful to have been able to start our journey in the UAE and help so many pets worldwide. Grateful for all your support!

[@sophiew8239]

Tbh no matter your living environment, once you have kids, your life will drift apart a bit from your pet - you'll naturally pay a lot more attention to your kids but luckily your kids will give lots of attention to your pets so it all works out!

[@PAWDEGA]

Yes, I can imagine 🙂

[@sophiew8239]

Please let us know which country you choose - sunny all year but not too hot sounds perfect!

[@fetchdubai5633]

Very excited for you both! 💚

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you guys 💚

I even said Ill stay in Dubai till my last day.. hahaha... not anymore... We will move back to Europe, but keep on leg in Dubai, just in case Europe goes to war...

[@PAWDEGA]

I think he saw Margarita Island in Venezuela, friendly and nice people, you can buy a nice house or apartment for around $10.000.

[@LifeHasLessons]

Wonder if Croatia is pet friendly

[@Mariosnel]

Come to Aruba or Curaçao 😎

[@PAWDEGA]

That sounds nice 😀💚

[@aMillyonair]

Love this video!!! Nice update. 🫶

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you Milly!! 😁 Hope we can see you in NYC in August 😍

[@joudkharman4204]

Dubai is the best city in the world

[@fernandom6811]

Check out Australia 😊

[@PAWDEGA]

We've been to New Zealand before and loved it! Would love to visit Australia as well but the pet import regulations are not suitable for us unfortunately 😔

[@fernandom6811]

@@PAWDEGAyes I’ve heard! that’s unfortunate 😔

[@shagufta119]

Do you ship to India 🇮🇳

[@PAWDEGA]

Thanks so much for comment and support. We unfortunately no longer ship to India.

[@shellw1506]

Congratulations… you will enjoy a better quality of life… .dubai is overhyped and over priced. It’s fun for a while. Good luck with the next chapter in your life.

[@PAWDEGA]

Thank you so much for your well wishes!

[@PeterGriffin-t4l]

Seriously? Moving out to another country because of a dog? I mean, thats a bit extreme don’t you think?

[@YasmineSNunez]

no its still a very valid reason, UAE is a great place, I live there since more than 20 years, but it’s still difficult for dogs. This is changing slowly but needs much more time and I dont think it will ever be like in Europe or US where dogs are allowed in most places. I presently have only cats but I want a dog and am seriously thinking if I will leave once I am ready to get it.
