People say that Bangkok is an animal-friendly city, but after being rejected from bringing your four-legged child into department stores, restaurants, hotels, and even Suan Lumpini—where herds of soi dogs are seen strolling everyday—you might start doubting the notion. At least now there’s a place where you and your furry friend can eat, drink, shop and wander in the greens together with other pets and their owners.

At Ozono (307 Sukhumvit 69, 02-662-3280. Open daily 7am-midnight), a white mall complex for pet lovers, they treat your beloved pet as a VIP guest wherever it goes. You can take it along while you go eat homemade Italian ice cream at Tuscanini (09-449-6557), tailor a new dress at Present by Anurak Roumsook, pick out a pastel skirt at the local brand Rebecca, select new furniture or whatever you can do in a proper mall. If you don’t want your little one to be bored when you shop, hire a professionally trained dog walker (B150/30 minutes) to help.

What’s so amiable about Ozono, apart from its surroundings (a nice, white two-story building that surrounds a long green court), is that your pet can have all the entertainment and luxury that you can. It has Aqua Dog (02-259-2786) where Mr. Hiroaki from Japan designs the hippest hair styles for your pooch in a glass-walled salon so you can see what he’s doing to your pal. Your pet can also get a massage, bath, haircut and grooming there. While your dog is getting an aromatherapy treatment, you can go out and treat yourself to a nice, reasonably priced coffee at Coffee Berry (02-259-5960) or self-indulge at Naomi Hair Solution (02-662-0736, 02-662-0783), Nail Concept Exclusively O.P.I. (02-662-1845) or Sabai Body Massage (07-004-8475).

Next to Aqua Dog is Doggie Bag Living (02-259-2788) that offers snacks, custom-made clothes, furniture and even jewelry for dogs. Their homemade signature cookies—bacon and liver, tuna, and chicken—cost B20-25, so Fido can have a special little treat. Under the same roof is Cat Societe (02-259-2788) where cats can socialize or stay over night. The fluffy hosts Blaire, Thonglor, Ferbie and others will welcome your cat with hospitality. At the far end of this complex is The Petropolitan Hotel (02-259-2785) or The Pet—sound familiar?—where your dog can stay in a comfy cage (you can think of it as a suite) for B400-2,000. The Pet promises to take good care of your dog, bring it out for a walk often, and if it behaves itself, it can go out and party with its friends, which is a good option when you have to be away. At the back is a two-rai Thai-style garden, exclusively for members—meaning your pet, not you. Dogs can run freely up and down the rises or dig around near the stone pool. You can enjoy a book at the bench, letting the dog run wild. Please note: The membership rate for the park is B20,000-80,000 per year.

Both you and your cuddly critter will love everything about Ozono.
