Best Vets in Dubai: Top 5 Pet Clinics for Dogs & Cats

Searching for the best vets in Dubai is the first step to stress-free pet ownership, especially if you moved to Marina, Downtown or Jumeirah; this guide lists five clinics with emergency care, boarding and specialist services priced in AED, plus local property tips.

Dubai has a wide range of veterinary options from 24/7 emergency hospitals to boutique feline practices; average consultation fees range from AED 120 to AED 300, routine vaccinations AED 150 to AED 450, and common soft-tissue surgeries from about AED 2,500 upwards. Choosing a clinic near your neighbourhood lowers travel stress and helps with aftercare visits, which matters if you live in compact towers in Dubai Marina or family communities like Arabian Ranches.

This article highlights clinics within 10 minutes of major residential hubs, compares starting fees and specialisms, and outlines how Binayah Properties helps pet owners when buying or renting property near top-rated vets. Expect named clinics, AED prices, a comparison table and practical relocation tips aimed at owners of dogs and cats.

The best vets in Dubai for dogs and cats are concentrated near major residential clusters such as Dubai Marina, Jumeirah, Downtown, Al Barsha and Arabian Ranches, offering services from AED 120 consultations to AED 4,500 for complex surgery and many provide 24/7 emergency care within 15 minutes for central communities.

Clinic clusters align with population density and pet-friendly housing. Dubai Marina and Jumeirah host boutique and English-speaking practices like British Veterinary Clinic in Jumeirah and City Vet Clinic near Marina, with routine consults from AED 120 to AED 200, vaccinations AED 150 to AED 350 and spay/neuter packages starting at AED 1,200. Downtown Dubai and Al Barsha feature multi-disciplinary hospitals such as Dubai Veterinary Clinic and American-style practices offering diagnostic imaging and soft-tissue surgery with starting surgery fees around AED 3,000 to AED 4,500. Arabian Ranches and Palm Jumeirah have smaller clinics and mobile vet services for urgent home visits, often charging AED 250 to AED 450 for a home consultation.

Choosing a clinic close to your property reduces follow-up costs and improves compliance with post-op checks. If you live in a tower in Marina, a 15-minute clinic trip is typical and reduces taxi or owner stress; if you are in villa communities like Arabian Ranches, look for practices that offer boarding and specialist orthopaedic care with pricing typically AED 200 to AED 600 per night for high-dependency boarding. Local councils and RERA-developed communities increasingly list pet rules and nearby vet contacts, making vet proximity a factor to weigh when selecting a home.

Typical charges at the best vets in Dubai are: consultation AED 120 to AED 300, core vaccines AED 150 to AED 450, dental scale and polish AED 600 to AED 1,200, and soft-tissue surgery AED 2,500 to AED 4,500; emergency admission and ICU monitoring can add AED 500 to AED 5,000 depending on complexity.

Many clinics publish a starting price list; for example, a routine puppy vaccination course often totals AED 450 to AED 800 depending on parasite treatments and microchipping. Dental procedures at specialist hospitals such as multi-disciplinary clinics in Al Barsha or Downtown typically begin at AED 600 for basic scaling, rising to AED 1,200 if extractions and anesthesia are needed. Orthopaedic procedures and complex soft-tissue surgeries are more variable but expect AED 3,000 to AED 6,000 at referral centres. Emergency presentations often include triage fees of AED 200 to AED 500 plus treatment costs, and overnight ICU can be AED 700 to AED 2,000 per night.

Budgeting for pet ownership in Dubai means planning for routine annual spend of about AED 1,500 to AED 4,000 per pet plus a contingency fund for emergencies; owners who travel regularly should add boarding costs, typically AED 200 to AED 600 per night for premium facilities. Compare price transparency and ask clinics for written estimates before surgery to avoid surprises.

• Ask for a written estimate before procedures
• Confirm whether anaesthesia, imaging and meds are included
• Check ICU and overnight care rates if surgery is planned
