Currently, one out of five people in Seoul own a pet. Transitioning from being just property to lifelong friends and family members, the perception of pets has begun to change drastically in Korea. However, even with the growing number of pet owners and perception, there still aren’t a lot of places for owners to go with their pets in the city, or so it seems. Let us introduce you to some great places you can visit with your beloved pet in Seoul.
IFC Mall, a multiplex shopping mall is a mall where you’re allowed to visit with your pet. Visitors can check to see which facilities (restaurant, store, elevator, parking lot, etc.) allow pets by checking signage outside storefronts or by checking online on the mall’s official website (Korean). In case of emergencies, waste disposal bag can be found next to elevator and escalators. Owners who’ve been dreaming of shopping with their beloved pets should visit only after checking the regulations below to learn about and practice proper pet etiquette in public places.
Located in Apgujeong, Forest Breath is a multicultural space which is open 24 hours. Equipped with a movie theater, café, bookstore, and playground, Forest Breath is a place of rest and leisure where visitors can take a nap in the massage chairs or drink beer while watching a romance movie. A great place for meeting or having an indoor date, this facility is even more special because it allows pet owners to bring their pets. Places that allow pets are rare in the city. However, Forest Breath has a special space for dogs of all breeds to run and play to their heart’s content. Also selling dog snacks and toys, this place is a perfect place for owners to play and rest with their pets.
