Pet parents on the island have a standing date at Gurney Paragon Mall: every Tuesday and Wednesday, the mall runs its Pet-Friendly days, so you can bring your cat or small dog along while you shop, run errands or grab a coffee along Gurney Drive. The programme is listed on the mall's official Events page as an ongoing initiative rather than a one-off event.
There are house rules, and the mall is clear that every owner has to follow them. Pets must be carried at all times (a pet stroller or carrier counts), they must wear a diaper, and you need to use the designated pet-friendly lift instead of the regular lifts. Only pets weighing 15kg and below are allowed, and owners are expected to clean up after their animals. Terms and conditions apply.
The mall has not published exact pet-friendly hours, a list of tenants that allow pets inside their shops, or where the designated lift is located, so ask at the concierge when you arrive. Individual shops and restaurants may still set their own policies, especially food outlets.
For a relaxed outing, combine a mall visit with a stroll along the Gurney Drive seafront before the evening crowd builds. Weekday mornings are usually the calmest time for nervous pets.
