The most pet-friendly shopping malls in Hong Kong

There’s a growing movement towards creating pet-friendly spaces in Hong Kong which celebrate the bond between humans and their furry companions. In recent years, this has extended beyond pet-friendly restaurants and parks, and into the city’s shopping malls – with some even offering complimentary pet amenities.

Read on to discover where to find Hong Kong's most pet-friendly shopping centres along with their guidelines, which will ensure outings with your furry friends are enjoyable and safe. We’ve also selected some special treats from the Cathay Shop to make your pet’s life a little more luxurious on their next adventure, all available for purchase online.

The Mills 

Once one of Hong Kong's most productive textile factories in the 1950s, The Mills was revitalised in 2018 and has since become a cultural landmark. This Tsuen Wan spot features leisure spaces, shops, and restaurants – and is a favourite among pet enthusiasts. 

The Mills is one of the few shopping centres that allows dogs to walk around alongside their owners – with many stores and eateries welcoming pets inside. The mall, which frequently hosts pet-themed markets and events, is also home to various pet supply shops including Hidden Gems , a zero-waste store offering pet treats and supplements in bulk. If you feel your pet starting to get restless, the rooftop garden on the third floor is a great spot for them to let loose.

Airside 

Kai Tak’s Airside , which opened its doors in 2023, spans an astonishing 1.9 million square feet – and has several dedicated pet-friendly zones and restaurants. These include an open-air plaza and indoor shopping area on the ground floor, a 6,000-square-foot urban farm on the second floor, and a sixth-floor rooftop garden. Leashed pets are welcome to stroll with their owners in pet-friendly areas, while entry to other zones requires pets to be in carriers or pushchairs. You can find out more here .
