Halloween in Dubai usually means costume parties, spooky brunches and themed nights out. But why should humans have all the fun? This year, several venues around the city are making room for four-legged family members with pet-friendly activities, creative workshops and Halloween celebrations.
From painting a portrait of your pup to dressing up for a costume competition, these events offer a fun way to celebrate Halloween without leaving your furry companion at home.
If you’re looking for pet-friendly Halloween events in Dubai in October 2026, here are four options to check out.
1. Paint Your Pup: Halloween Edition At The Duck Hook
Ever wanted to turn your dog into a work of art? The Duck Hook is hosting a Halloween-themed painting workshop where you can create a portrait of your furry friend on canvas.
Artist Marisa Silva will prepare a pre-sketched canvas using a photo of your dog, leaving you to bring the portrait to life with colour. Breakfast is included, and your pup gets its own menu and treats, making this a creative morning out for both of you.
The package includes painting materials, one breakfast dish and one drink per person. Just remember to send a clear photo of your dog to the artist on Instagram before the workshop so your canvas can be prepared in advance.
