If there’s one thing most Malaysians can agree on, it’s that we love pets. A 2023 Consumer Report by Standard Insights revealed that a whopping 51.1% of Malaysians own pets, with 26.4% of them sharing their homes with multiple furry or feathered friends. And the trend isn’t slowing down, with 26.2% of non-pet owners expressing keen interest in welcoming a pet into their lives. Â
This booming pet population has ignited a surge in the pet industry, with the pet food sector alone projected to reach a staggering RM1.486 billion by 2029. As pet ownership continues to rise, so does the demand for pet-friendly living spaces.

In response to the growing number of pet-loving Malaysians, developers are starting to incorporate pet-friendly amenities into their luxury residential projects. These developments recognise that pets are integral members of many families and deserve to enjoy the same high-quality lifestyle as their human companions.
