The one vaccine UAE law does not leave optional — given by a licensed vet, with the certificate and digital record that registration, boarding and travel all rest on.
The rabies vaccine in Dubai is not a lifestyle choice. Rabies vaccination is required by UAE law for owned dogs and cats, and the certificate that comes with it is the document your pet's municipality registration, its tag, its boarding booking and any move abroad all rest on.
At Petbook Veterinary Clinic in Al Quoz 3 the rabies vaccine is given by a licensed veterinarian after an examination, inside our AED 199 Annual Vaccination Package. The full package breakdown is on our pet vaccination in Dubai page, and every price the clinic publishes is on the vet prices in Dubai page.
Bitten or scratched by a free-roaming animal, or a wound you cannot explain? Do not wait for the next free slot — our emergency vet line in Dubai is answered 24/7.
Rabies vaccination is mandatory for owned dogs and cats here — the one vaccine that is never a judgement call.
Issued against your pet's identity and microchip number, so the document matches the animal it describes.
Rabies comes with the annual package — examination, core viral vaccine, deworming and dental check included.
Kept on a digital record with a reminder before it lapses, because a gap in the rabies date is what causes trouble.

I had a wonderful experience at Petbook Veterinary Clinic in Al Quoz with my 9-month-old male Turkish Angora cat, Meiko. A special thank you to Dr. Emad and Miss Charrie for their excellent care, kindness, patience, and professionalism.
I highly recommend this veterinary clinic! They truly care about pets as if they were their own babies. Every time my cats have been sick, the team has always followed up to check on their recovery & see if they needed anything else. That level of care & compassion means so much to me 🤍
I had a very good experience at this clinic. The staff were professional, caring, and really took the time to check my dog properly.
Dogs and cats, every age

The injection takes seconds. What owners in Dubai actually come for is a paper trail that survives a house move, a boarding booking and an airline desk.
Record book, foreign certificate, adoption papers, or nothing at all. The last rabies date decides everything else, so we find it first.
A licensed veterinarian checks your pet on the day. A vaccine belongs in a healthy animal — if today is not the day, we say so.
A certificate is only useful if it points at your pet. We record the microchip number and description so document and animal cannot come apart.
By a licensed veterinarian, with the details written into your pet's file. When it falls due next is set by the vet, not by a chart online.
You leave with the signed certificate, and we keep a digital copy — so a lost record book stops being a crisis.
We flag the expiry ahead of time, because a gap in the rabies record is what delays registration, boarding and travel.

The Annual Vaccination Package puts the whole yearly visit into one appointment: the examination, the core viral vaccine, the rabies vaccine, deworming and a dental check — with the certificate and digital record you will be asked for later.
Rabies is the only pet vaccine in the UAE written into the rules rather than the recommendations. That is why the date on the certificate matters far more than owners expect.
Registering an owned dog or cat in Dubai is a documents process, and a current rabies record is one of them. No record, no tag.
Warehouses, yards and open car parks mean free-roaming cats and dogs are part of the neighbourhood your pet lives in.
Balconies, service corridors and the walk to the car are where an indoor pet meets an animal with no known history.
Every destination sets its own rule on how long after vaccination a pet may fly, and some ask for a rabies antibody titre test. Plan in months, not weeks.
A cattery, kennel or salon wants a valid rabies record before your pet comes through the door — and so do many buildings.
Letting the date run out is not just a late booster — for travel and registration, a gap in the record pushes timelines back.
Rabies is included in the AED 199 Annual Vaccination Package. For rabies on its own, or a titre test, message us on WhatsApp for a same-day quote.
Rabies comes later than a puppy's or kitten's first core vaccines, and is then kept current for life. How much later, and how often, depends on your pet's age, health and the product used — the veterinarian sets the date at the visit and writes it onto the certificate.
Rabies is why a wound from an unknown animal is urgent rather than routine. Call us the same day — and if a person was bitten or scratched, they should see a human doctor immediately.
If your pet has been bitten or exposed, this is not a wait-and-see situation — call us the same day rather than counting days at home, and bring whatever record you have. For a routine booster that has slipped, a week is not a disaster, but do not leave it: what matters is that the record has no gap.
The UAE is considered very low risk and cases in pets are rare, which is exactly why the rules on rabies vaccination and registration are strict. Low risk is the result of the requirement, not a reason to skip it — and countries you travel to still want the certificate.
At Petbook the rabies vaccine is included in the AED 199 Annual Vaccination Package, together with the examination, the core viral vaccine, deworming and a dental check. We do not publish a separate price for rabies on its own — message us on WhatsApp and we will quote it the same day.
Registration is a documents exercise: the authority wants your pet identified and its vaccinations current, which in practice means a microchip and a valid rabies record. We hand you the certificate and keep a digital copy, so you are not chasing paperwork at renewal.
The record book itself does not really expire — what expires are the entries inside it, and the rabies date is the one that matters. Airlines and destination countries apply their own timing rules on top. Keep the rabies entry current and the passport keeps working.
