Why owners choose Petbook
A routine surgery, prepared for properly
Sterilization is the most common operation in veterinary medicine and still the one owners worry about most — usually because nobody explains what happens between drop-off and pick-up, or what it costs until you have called five clinics. Neutering at Petbook starts at AED 199, published openly with the rest of our vet prices.
A routine procedure still gets proper preparation at our Al Quoz 3 clinic: a physical examination before any anesthetic, pre-anesthetic blood work when the vet advises it, and continuous monitoring until your pet is awake and steady.
Timing, price and recovery all shift with species and size, so those details live on the cat spay & neuter in Dubai and dog neutering in Dubai pages. What follows here is the part that is identical for every patient.
-
Prices published

khadidja belairche 4 weeks ago 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 🤍

michael lapez 3 weeks ago 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.

Maria Teresa Orino 4 weeks ago I had all three of my cats vaccinated at this clinic, and I couldn't be happier with the service. The veterinarians and staff were very professional, gentle, and caring with my cats, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

What sterilization costs at Petbook
The prices below are fixed and public — no phoning around required. If the pre-anesthetic examination suggests anything beyond the routine procedure, such as blood work, you get that price before we start rather than after. Everything else is on our vet prices page.

Drop-off to pick-up
What surgery day looks like
Six steps, the same for every patient, and you will know all of them before you book. Neutering should hold no surprises on the day.
- Step 01
Booking and fasting
We confirm the slot and give you exact fasting instructions for the night before. Water usually stays available — we tell you clearly if it should not.
- Step 02
The pre-anesthetic examination
A licensed vet examines your pet on the morning itself — heart, chest, gums, weight and temperature — and either confirms the plan or postpones it.
- Step 03
Blood work, if it is advised
Pre-anesthetic blood work in our in-house lab checks organ function before anesthesia. You get the cost before anything is run.
- Step 04
Anesthesia and monitoring
The anesthetic is matched to your pet's weight and condition, and breathing, heart rate and temperature are watched continuously by the team.
- Step 05
Waking up in recovery
Recovery happens in a warm, quiet area under observation — nobody goes home until they are alert, steady on their feet and comfortable.
- Step 06
Home the same day
Most patients leave the same day with pain relief, a cone or recovery suit, written aftercare and a number to call if anything worries you.

The Dubai angle
Why sterilization matters more here
The climate, the housing and the city's free-roaming animal population all push the same decision in the same direction.
-
Recovery is an indoor job
A fortnight of calm indoor rest in air conditioning is easy to arrange in Dubai — which makes any month of the year a workable month to book.
-
Apartment living, hormones included
Calling through the night and marking the walls are hard to live with in a flat. Sterilization removes the cause rather than managing the symptom.
-
Escaping means traffic and heat
An intact animal looking for a mate will push past a door. Outside is Dubai traffic and, for much of the year, pavement hot enough to burn paws.
-
Unplanned litters, city-wide
The free-roaming population here grows one unplanned litter at a time. A single routine surgery is prevention at the scale of a whole neighbourhood.
-
Records that follow your pet
Municipality registration and relocation files both run on complete veterinary records — the procedure is logged in your pet's file the same day.
-
Compare before you come
Owners here are routinely told to phone around for quotes. Publishing ours means the comparison takes a minute instead of an afternoon.
Timing
When to book — and when to wait
For most healthy pets the window falls between five and eight months, once growth is well under way — a range rather than a date, since size, breed, condition and any existing health issue all move it. There is no upper limit either: adult and senior patients are operated on routinely, usually after blood work and with the anesthetic plan adjusted to their age.
- Most pets: around 5–8 months, confirmed at the pre-surgery examination
- Large breeds: your vet may advise waiting longer — ask before you book
- Adults and seniors: still routine, usually after pre-anesthetic blood work
- Females in season or pregnant: decided case by case at the examination
After the operation
When to call us instead of waiting
The first two weeks are usually uneventful. These are the signs that should not wait for a scheduled recheck — our line is answered around the clock.
- The incision looks red, swollen, open or is leaking fluid
- The cone or recovery suit comes off and licking starts
- No food or water more than 24 hours after coming home
- Repeated vomiting, or a belly that looks tense or swollen
- Wobbling, collapse, or gums that look pale rather than pink
- Pain that looks worse on day three than it did on day one
Common questions
Is spaying or neutering safe?
It is one of the most routine operations in veterinary medicine, and it is still surgery under general anesthesia — no clinic should call it risk-free. What lowers the risk is what happens around it: an examination and pre-anesthetic blood work first, an anesthetic with temperature, heart rate and oxygen monitored throughout, pain relief given before your pet wakes rather than after, and a recovery area inside the clinic with the team in the building. Ask any clinic which of those are inside the quoted price — that is usually where the gap between two numbers sits.
How much will it cost for my dog to be spayed?
The published starting prices at Petbook are AED 650 for a dog spay and AED 450 for a dog neuter, with cats at AED 399 and AED 199 under the current 50% offer. Those cover a healthy animal of average size; weight, body condition and anything the pre-anesthetic examination turns up can move the figure. Whatever the vet recommends, you get the final price before we begin — never on collection. The dog neutering and cat spaying pages carry the species detail.
Is the procedure painful?
Not during it — your pet is fully anesthetized and feels nothing. Afterwards there is soreness, most of it in the first 48 hours, and it is managed with pain relief started before the first incision and continued at home. A female spay is an abdominal operation and takes longer to settle than a male neuter. What you should see by the next day is a pet that is quiet but interested in food and water; one that hides, refuses to eat or licks hard at the wound needs a call to us rather than another day of waiting.
Will my pet gain weight after sterilization?
It can happen, and the reason is honest: sterilization lowers what a pet needs each day, while most households keep filling the same bowl. The weight follows the food, not the surgery. Cut the portion at the post-operative check, weigh the food instead of judging it by eye, and ask for a weigh-in at every visit so a drift shows up as a number rather than a shape. It matters more here than in cooler countries, because the summer months are exactly when walks get shortest.
How risky is anesthesia for a 14-year-old dog?
Age alone is not a disqualification; organ function and heart health are what matter, which is why blood work is usually advised before anesthesia in older patients. No anesthetic is risk-free at any age and we will not say otherwise. What we can do is assess first, adjust the plan to the individual and monitor throughout.
