Dubai’s pet population has crossed the one-million mark, and pet parents here are not shy about spending on their animals. Grooming salons are booked out for weeks, mobile grooming vans are multiplying across residential communities, and “pet spa” has become a genuine growth category rather than a niche hobby. If you have been thinking about turning your love for animals into a pet grooming business in Dubai, 2026 is a good time to move – provided you get the licensing right from day one.
