Inside the consult room
What you are actually paying for
Nothing about a wellness visit is dramatic, which is the point of it. It is the appointment where somebody notices the 400 grams your cat has lost since last year, the murmur that was not there in March, or the tartar line that becomes an extraction next year. At Petbook Veterinary Clinic in Al Quoz 3 that consultation is AED 75, usually same-day.
You get a licensed veterinarian working through every system by hand — weight, gums, heart, lungs, abdomen, joints, teeth, ears, skin, eyes — then a written plan: what is normal, what needs doing now, and what each costs before you agree. If bloods or a stool sample are needed, our in-house laboratory usually has results before you leave.
Most owners book the check-up alongside whatever else is due — annual vaccinations, a booster, a weight recheck — since the examination has to happen first anyway. Cat owners can start from our cat vet page; every figure the clinic publishes is on vet prices in Dubai.

Every system, by hand
Weight, gums, heart, lungs, abdomen, joints, teeth, ears, skin and eyes — same order, every visit.
-
Results before you leave
Blood, urine and stool run in our own lab, so a plan the same day is the norm, not a favour.
-
Findings on paper
You leave with what was normal, what needs watching, and a price for anything recommended.
-
AED 199, same-day
The consultation fee is published. Membership plans from AED 999 a year cover consultations in full.

What a wellness consultation costs in Dubai
One fee, whatever the species
Cat or dog, puppy or fifteen-year-old — the consultation is AED 75 and the price of anything beyond it is agreed first.
The consultation is AED 75 — a full physical examination with a licensed veterinarian and a written plan you take home. If boosters fall due at the same visit, the annual vaccination package is AED 199 and a single viral vaccine is AED 80. Blood panels, imaging and anything beyond the examination are quoted before they start, so message us on WhatsApp for a same-day quote.

Step by step
What happens in a nose-to-tail examination
The same sequence every time, so nothing is skipped and this year's findings hold against last year's.
- Step 01
History, weight, body condition
What changed at home — appetite, thirst, energy, toilet habits — then the same scale every visit and a body-condition score out of 9. A 5% shift either way is a finding, even when the pet looks identical to you.
- Step 02
Gums, hydration, temperature
Gum color and capillary refill read circulation in two seconds; a skin tent reads hydration. Temperature is taken every time — animals run a fever long before they act ill.
- Step 03
Heart and lungs
Both sides of the chest, for a murmur, an irregular rhythm or crackles, with the pulse felt at the same moment. Murmurs get graded 1 to 6, and the grade decides whether a scan follows.
- Step 04
Abdomen, joints, lymph nodes
Kidneys, bladder, spleen, intestines and lymph nodes palpated by hand, then hips, elbows, stifles and spine through their range. Older dogs rarely limp here — they tense when the joint is flexed.
- Step 05
Mouth, ears, eyes, skin
Teeth graded for tartar, gingivitis and resorptive lesions; ears through an otoscope; eyes for discharge and lens changes; coat parted behind the ears, where flea dirt shows first.
- Step 06
Bloods if indicated — then the plan
Anything that needs confirming goes to the in-house lab the same visit. You leave with findings written down, a recall date and a price for what comes next.

Petbook Membership
If you are here more than twice a year, the membership pays for itself
Three annual plans, each with pet insurance included for one year. All three cover consultations at 100%, plus the annual vaccination, deworming and anti-flea treatment — then the discounts on lab work, medicines and surgery step up with the tier.
- Silver — AED 999/year: consultations and 5 grooming sessions covered, 15% off diagnostics, medicines and surgery
- Gold — AED 2,999/year: 10 grooming sessions, 50% off diagnostics and cat boarding, 35% off surgery
- Platinum — AED 4,999/year: grooming covered, 75% off diagnostics and boarding, 50% off surgery and medicines
Pets in the UAE
Why the same check-up looks different in Dubai
Almost every pet we meet lives in air conditioning, moves less than it would anywhere else, and arrives with a history full of gaps. That changes what a vet looks for.
-
Arriving with no history
Most pets here were born elsewhere and the vaccination book went missing in the move. A first visit is about rebuilding a baseline from nothing — weight, bloods, dental grade, dated.
-
Six months of heat, half the exercise
From May the walks get short. Dogs gain fat and lose muscle over the hip by October, when it shows as stiffness. Weighing every visit catches it in July.
-
Parasites never get a season off
No cold snap breaks the flea and tick cycle here, so a schedule brought from Europe leaves months uncovered. We set a year-round deworming and flea plan by weight.
-
Ticks come from compounds, not countryside
Villa gardens, shaded parking and community cats are where dogs pick ticks up. Tick-borne infection is common enough that a vague fever gets a blood smear, not a wait-and-see.
-
Dust, sand and constant AC
Fine dust outdoors and dry recycled air indoors irritate airways, eyes and ears all year. A nightly cough or ears your pet keeps shaking get graded, not filed under normal.
-
Food is the one lever left
Bowls left down all day, treats from every visitor, a 12 kg dog on the portion printed for an 18 kg one. In a flat, diet is the last variable left — we review it in grams.
Moving on from the UAE? Every visit, weight and vaccine stays in one file, so your next clinic abroad reads a real history, not a guess.
Puppy, adult, senior
How often your pet should be checked
Dogs and cats age several years for each one of ours, so an annual check-up is already a long gap — for a senior, roughly a decade between physicals.
- Puppies and kittens: several visits in the first four months, then a check at six months for growth, adult teeth and neutering timing
- Adults, 1–7 years: once a year — full examination, body-condition score, dental grading, boosters if due
- Seniors, 7 years and over: twice a year, with blood and urine testing — kidney, liver and thyroid disease build for months with nothing showing at home
- Any age: a change in appetite, thirst, weight or toilet habits earns an appointment, not a wait
Do not wait for the annual
Signs that need an appointment now, not in six months
A wellness visit is for a pet that seems well. Any of these means a same-day appointment instead — after hours, the emergency line.
- Drinking and urinating more than usual — often the first outward sign of kidney disease
- Spine and hip bones more obvious than they were, even on a normal appetite
- A cat that has not eaten for 24 hours, or a dog for 48
- Coughing at night, breathing faster at rest, or tiring on a walk that was easy
- Straining in the litter tray or on grass with nothing produced
- A lump that has changed size, shape or firmness since you last felt it
Common questions
How much is pet insurance in the UAE?
Premiums vary by provider and by your pet's age, breed and existing conditions, so no clinic can quote them — and policies typically cover accident and illness rather than the routine care that keeps a pet out of trouble in the first place. We do not sell insurance. What we do publish is a membership: AED 999 Silver, AED 2,999 Gold and AED 4,999 Platinum a year, covering consultations, the annual vaccination, deworming and flea treatment outright, with 15–75% off laboratory work and surgery depending on the tier. The two are not alternatives — insurance is for the accident, preventive care is for everything before it.
Are vets expensive in Dubai?
The consultation rarely is; the diagnostics and surgery behind it can be. The two things that actually control the bill are catching problems early and knowing the price before you agree to it. For owners in the clinic several times a year, our membership plans start at AED 999 a year and cover consultations, the annual vaccination, deworming and flea treatment outright, with 15–75% off lab work and surgery depending on the tier.
What are the signs of a good vet?
Watch what happens in the room. A good consultation means your pet is weighed, its temperature taken, its chest listened to on both sides, its abdomen felt and its mouth opened — not a glance and a vaccine. You should be told what was normal as well as what was not, given the reason behind every recommendation, and quoted a price before anything is booked.
How to pick the best vet?
Practical things matter more than a slogan. Can they run blood and urine in-house or does it go to a courier? Is there an operating theatre, digital X-ray and ultrasound on site, or a referral every time? Is somebody answering the phone at 3am? And how far is it at rush hour — in an emergency, twenty minutes of Sheikh Zayed Road counts for more than a nicer waiting room.
Where can I find a good vet?
Start with clinics close enough to reach in a crisis and read their Google reviews rather than their homepage — look for owners describing follow-up calls and clear explanations, not just friendly staff. Petbook is in Al Quoz 3, minutes from Al Khail Road and central for Al Barsha, Business Bay and Jumeirah, with 4.7 stars from 446 Google reviews and the emergency line answered 24/7.
