We're mulling a move to Singapore and wonder what the attitude is to dogs. I'm certain veterinary care is wonderful and I can buy any pet food I like but --- are there places to walk and run my dog (parks, beaches, whatever)? Are there a fair number of dog-owners who get out and about with their dog, rather than just leaving them to run around their yards? Is finding dog-friendly accomodation (we have cats too) a problem?
I ask bec. the country (in Asia) that we live now is exceedingly dog-UNfriendly. She's not allowed to walk in any parks, even on a leash, and I get lots of unfriendly stares whenever I walk her on the street. She's even been spit at and had things thrown at her. (She's big, but quiet and well-behaved and even rather shy.) It's sad not to be able to let her exercise as she needs.
Just don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire. Thanks for any comments.
