Puppy first visits, adult check-ups, senior blood panels, surgery and dentistry — with digital X-ray, ultrasound and an in-house laboratory in the same building, minutes from Al Khail Road.
Just landed in Dubai with a dog, or done with a clinic that never explains anything? Petbook Veterinary Clinic in Al Quoz 3 sees dogs all day — 4 kg terriers through to giant breeds — and the consultation is AED 75, usually same-day. We are minutes off Al Khail Road, which counts for more than any website the night something goes wrong.
Dogs live an odd life in this city: half the year the walk happens before sunrise, the paving blisters pads by nine, and the rest of the day passes in air conditioning. So a Dubai consult room is not exotic — it is ears, skin, weight, joints, ticks and heat. Your dog walks in on a lead, because the gait down the corridor is part of the exam.
Use this page as a front door: puppy courses and yearly boosters, neutering from AED 450, grooming from AED 89. If your dog is in trouble tonight, the emergency vet line is answered 24/7.
Chihuahuas to Rottweilers — anesthetic, dosing and handling scaled to the dog on the table, not to an average.
Bloat, heat stroke and swallowed objects are what this city sends us. The emergency line is answered 24/7.
Operating theatre, digital X-ray, ultrasound and our own laboratory in one building — no referral across town mid-problem.
The consultation fee is on the website, appointments are same-day, and anything beyond it is quoted before it starts.
Three reviews from our public Google profile. Only the first names a dog outright — most owners write about the vet rather than the species — so read them for how the visit went.
I had a very good experience at this clinic. The staff were professional, caring, and really took the time to check my dog properly.
We're so thankful to Dr. Ahmed and the team for their excellent care—our Batchu recovered very quickly from her illness under their treatment. They were very caring and considerate, and we truly appreciated their follow-up concern even after discharge.
Dr. Emaad is an exceptional vet who truly cares about animals and their well-being. He is professional, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain everything clearly. His kindness and patience made both me and my pet feel comfortable during every visit.
One fee, whatever the breed
A 3 kg Yorkie and a 45 kg shepherd pay the same AED 75 for the consultation — and the price of anything after it is agreed first.
The consultation is AED 75. Beyond that we quote only figures the clinic has published: the vaccination package at AED 199, a single viral vaccine at AED 80, grooming from AED 89 — or AED 249 with the vaccination for dogs under 10 kg — a dog neuter from AED 450, a spay from AED 650, and dental scaling for dogs at AED 499. X-rays, ultrasound, blood panels and anything surgical outside that list are priced before they start, so message us on WhatsApp for a same-day quote.

Half the examination starts before the table, and the order is the same every visit so this year's findings hold against last year's.
Appetite, thirst, energy, where in the walk he starts lagging — while we watch him come down the corridor. A dog that sits at the end of the lead has said something the table will not.
Same scale every visit, then hands over the ribs and the waist. Two extra kilos on a 12 kg dog is a sixth of his body weight, landing on the hips we check next.
Hips, stifles, elbows and spine through their range. Dogs rarely limp in the room — they tense, or hold the leg a beat longer, and that earns an X-ray rather than a wait.
Ear infections are among the commonest things we treat in Dubai dogs, and the cause sets the treatment: yeast in a humid canal is one problem, a grass seed against the eardrum another.
Coat parted along the back, at the tail base and inside every skin fold — where flea dirt, hot spots and ticks show first. Itching gets a cause, not a shampoo.
Teeth graded for tartar and gum disease — small breeds crowd their mouths and lose teeth young, which is what dental work is for. Then heart, lungs and abdomen by hand.
Real photographs from the clinic — dogs we have seen, in reception and in the consult room.
Every surgical dog is examined before the anesthetic goes in, monitored from that first injection until the head comes back up, and sent home with a written plan for the fortnight. Neutering starts at AED 450 and a spay at AED 650 — theatre, digital X-ray, ultrasound and laboratory are all in this building, so nothing gets referred across town halfway through.
Nearly every dog we see lives in a flat or a compound, walks on a lead, and spends half the year avoiding the ground.
Paving holds heat for hours after sunset, which is why owners here walk at 5am. Blistered pads and a limp the morning after a summer walk are common.
Flat-faced breeds are everywhere here and cool themselves badly. A frenchie panting hard in the car park with bright red gums is a same-minute emergency, not a dog needing water.
Fine sand works into the canal and humid air keeps it wet, while dry lawns drop grass seeds that burrow into ears and toes. Some need sedation to reach.
No cold snap breaks the cycle here, so a schedule brought from Europe leaves months uncovered. A flat dog with a vague fever gets a blood test, and a year-round parasite plan by weight.
Six months of short walks builds fat and strips muscle off the hips, showing up in October as stiffness on the stairs. Orthopedic consultations are the cost of leaving it.
Dogs here are microchipped, registered with the municipality and kept on a lead in public, rabies cover current. A boarding stay asks for the same file.
Leaving the UAE later? Most dog owners here do. The receiving country reads dates, not reassurances — microchip number, rabies date, titre where one is required — so every visit stays in one file and whoever handles the paperwork is reading a real history.
Dogs do not all age at one rate. A giant breed is a senior at six, a toy breed barely middle-aged at nine. Size sets the timetable.
Dogs are stoic in the wrong direction — plenty keep wagging with something serious going on. Any of these means a same-day appointment.
Eating something they should not — bin raids, table scraps, a sudden change of food, or whatever was left on a compound lawn. Parasites, a swallowed object and travel sickness make up much of the rest, and in summer heat plays its part too. One vomit from a dog who is otherwise bright usually earns a day of watching; blood in it, retching that produces nothing, a swollen belly, or a puppy vomiting with diarrhea means the same day.
Frantic panting that does not settle in the shade, bright red or brick-colored gums, thick drool, wobbling, vomiting, then collapse. It builds fast in Dubai — a short midday walk or ten minutes in a parked car is enough, and flat-faced breeds get there sooner. Move him somewhere cool, wet him with cool (not iced) water, and drive in while somebody phones ahead. Dogs can look better on the way and still be in trouble internally, so they need checking either way.
Many do, and the outlook is best when it is caught early. The tick-borne infections we see in the UAE attack the blood cells, so the picture is usually a dull dog with a fever, poor appetite, sometimes pale gums, bruising or a nosebleed. It is diagnosed on a blood test rather than on symptoms, which is why a vague fever here gets bloods and not a wait-and-see. Year-round tick prevention is what keeps a dog out of that conversation.
In dogs it shows on the skin far more than in the nose: scratching, licking the paws until they stain, rubbing the face, recurring ear infections, red skin in the armpits and groin, and hot spots that appear overnight in humid weather. Fleas, food and environmental triggers all look similar from the outside, so the visit is about ruling things out in order rather than reaching for a shampoo. Ears that keep coming back are one of the most reliable clues.
Yes — dogs are imported into the UAE routinely, and the requirements are set before you fly: a microchip, a rabies vaccination given at the right interval, an import permit, and a health certificate issued in the country you are leaving. Breed restrictions apply, so check yours before booking anything. Once you land, a first consultation at AED 75 gives your dog a UAE health record, aligns the vaccination dates with what is expected here, and gets the file ready for municipality registration.
