UAE has opened its first indoor gym for dogs in Abu Dhabi.
"The idea was to provide a healthy gym for all kinds of dogs. In the last couple of years, the Emirates have become a role model for the GCC with regards to hosting pets in the house. I am one of those people who own a dog. My struggle was during the summer time - finding a good environment for them to exercise," said Mansour Al-Hammadi, owner of Posh Pets.

The gym boasts treadmills designed specifically for dogs.
"The dog gets so excited, the minute he leaves the car, he recognises the place and starts going towards it, he feels comfortable here," said Mohammed Hamid Bilbeisi, a customer at Posh Pets.
Hani Jaafar, another patron of the gym said, "my friends told me about this very nice place, where my dog can have a nice activity without being hit by the sun, without having any distractions, just a place especially for dogs. That was the main reason we came here, he can do his running, even jogging or walking on the treadmill based upon his normal walk, there’s no one pushing him to do it, so actually it was a very good exercise."
