Hong Kong has seen a rise in pet ownership in recent years, with the city’s population of dogs, cats and smaller mammals – as well as birds, fish and reptiles – increasing by 50,000 to 1.19 million between 2018 and 2023, according to online statistics portal Statista.

Booming alongside this is a pet economy that includes everything from pet-friendly cafes and boutiques to grooming salons.

If you want to support a good cause while you shop for your pet, check out a charity market at The One in Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon – it supports a Hong Kong animal charity.

This, and four other shopping highlights, should be on your docket this weekend.
