Dubai, UAE 17 December 2025: As the holiday season approaches, leaving pets home alone becomes a growing security concern for owners across the UAE. According to a new study by Ring, in collaboration with YouGov, 70% of UAE pet owners feel anxious when away from their pets, while 83% believe it’s important to monitor them when they’re not at home.
The study, which explored pet ownership habits and security technology adoption across the UAE, highlights how pets have become valuable members of the household that owners want to protect, with 84% saying their pets improve their quality of life and 8 in 10 believing remote security monitoring strengthens their peace of mind.
Smart Home Security Creates Peace of Mind During Festive Season
The findings reveal that 88% of pet parents would feel more secure if they could check on their pets anytime, yet only 43% currently use any monitoring device. This gap shows a rising opportunity for smart security technology to provide home monitoring, safety verification, and protection for both pets and property during the holiday season and beyond.
Mohammad Meraj Hoda, VP of Business Development – Emerging Markets, Ring said:
“Our research shows how strongly UAE pet parents prioritize home security and pet monitoring, especially during busy holiday periods when they’re away. With Ring’s range of smart indoor and outdoor security cameras, they can maintain complete awareness of their home environment and verify their pets’ safety in real time, bringing security and peace of mind throughout the festive season and beyond.”
