JEM

Visiting JEM is a great choice if you’re looking for a pet-friendly outing with your dog in the west of Singapore. JEM is a large lifestyle mall in Jurong East with direct access from the MRT, plentiful shops, dining, and even green rooftop terraces where you and your four-legged friend can stretch your legs. The location makes it convenient for a pet-friendly day out without having to travel into the city centre.

As a pet-friendly destination, JEM offers both indoor and outdoor experiences. Inside the mall you’ll find major anchor stores, a wide variety of retailers, and comfortable air-conditioned levels, which is ideal for hot Singapore days when you want your pet in a cooler environment. On the outdoor side, JEM also has al-fresco dining strips and open terrace gardens — a welcome break for pets and owners to relax away from the hustle of shopping. The green rooftop sky gardens (JEM Park) create a welcoming atmosphere for a leisurely walk or stop-off break.

One of the strengths of JEM is how seamlessly it connects to public transport: it is located right at Jurong East MRT station (EW24 / NS1) and the bus interchange nearby. This makes the mall accessible even if you prefer to leave your car at home. The address is 50 Jurong Gateway Road, Singapore 608549. For pet-owners, this means you can arrive with your pet easily and head straight into a comfortable, accessible environment.

When shopping with your pet at JEM, you’ll find plenty of options within the mall: major names like IKEA Jurong, FairPrice Xtra, UNIQLO, H&M, etc. are present, meaning you can combine everyday shopping, home needs, fashion, dining and pet-friendly chill time in one outing.For example, after your shopping stop at UNIQLO or H&M, you could roam the mall with your pet on leash, then settle at an al-fresco café or terrace garden while your pet rests at your side.

In terms of pet-friendly practicalities, the mall’s access guide makes it clear that guide dogs are welcomed, and that the facility provides accessible toilets, lifts, and travelators (good if you have bulky pet gear or a pet carrier). While the audio doesn’t explicitly list “pets allowed”, the welcoming of guide dogs is a strong positive sign and you can reasonably expect other dogs on leash to be accepted. As always, it’s a good idea to check individual retailer/dining outlet policies in advance for pets.

Dining is a highlight at JEM too. There are many food & beverage outlets where you may be able to sit outdoors with your pet (or ask for outdoor-seating options). A pet-friendly outing might include a stop at a café where you can relax while your pet lounges on the terrace. The combination of indoor comfort plus outdoor space makes JEM quite adaptable for different pet-friendly scenarios. With many shops and cafés to explore, you’ll find that a pet-friendly trip here can easily fill half a day or more.

What makes JEM particularly attractive for pet-friendly visitors is the space to roam – the green sky park terraces, the al-fresco dining strip (“Jem Street” style areas) and the multiple levels of shopping make it feel less confined. The roof gardens wrap around alternate levels and bring greenery into the shopping experience.  After some shopping, you and your pet can unwind on a bench in the terrace garden, watch the sunset over Jurong East, and enjoy a quieter moment before heading home.

In practical terms, if you’re driving with your pet, JEM also has car-parks (B2 & B3) with charging points for electric vehicles at B3. This means you can load your pet into your car and still easily access the mall. For weekday mornings or early afternoons the crowds are lighter, making it a more relaxed pet-friendly outing. On weekends, especially evenings, it may be busier.

Overall, JEM delivers a pet-friendly, convenient, varied, and comfortable shopping and leisure experience in the west of Singapore. Whether you’re planning a shopping spree, family outing, or a calm café stop with your dog, JEM is a strong option. Bring your leash, keep some water handy for your pet, pick a café with outdoor seating, and enjoy a full pet-friendly day out at JEM.
