Dubai Municipality provides veterinary services of its own, and what it covers and what it charges are set and revised by the authority — so its own channels are the only honest source for that side. What this page can do is set out our side in full, and help you read what your own situation needs.
A search for a Dubai Municipality vet is rarely idle. Either there is something official to sort out, or the cost of private care has prompted a look at what else exists. Dubai Municipality does provide veterinary services, so the question is real and worth a straight answer.
Here is the limit of what we can honestly tell you. What the authority covers, who it covers and what it charges are published through its own channels — not by us, and not by any clinic page including this one. Anything we wrote about their side would be a guess, and a guess here is worse than a gap. Check it at source.
What we can describe in full is our own side: same-day appointments, an emergency line answered 24/7, a laboratory, digital X-ray and ultrasound on site, an operating theatre, and a file we keep between visits. Every figure sits on our published prices page, and what we supply towards the paperwork is on the pet registration page. New arrivals will find the wider ground in the owner guide.
What the authority covers and charges is its own to publish, and it can change. We do not reprint it here — a stale figure on a clinic page is worse than no figure at all.
A consultation is AED 120 and a vaccination package is AED 199. Anything not on the list is quoted after the examination and before it is booked.
A blocked cat or a dog that has eaten something needs seeing today — that is what a same-day appointment is for.
We keep the file — vaccinations, bloods, surgeries — so your pet's history sits in one place instead of scattered across separate visits.
Reviews from our public Google profile — not written by us.
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 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 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.
One published figure, not a range
You are told what a visit costs before it starts, and what anything beyond it would cost before it is booked.
We can only publish our own figures honestly, so that is what this section does. A consultation at Petbook is AED 120, and it buys a full examination by a licensed vet plus a written plan. Vaccination packages are AED 199, and a single viral vaccine is AED 80. What we will not do is print a figure from the authority beside them — those belong to the authority to publish and revise, and a wrong number here would be worse than no number. Get the current one from them, put it next to what is below, and decide with both in front of you.
The examination everything else is decided from.
120 AED
First or annual — the vaccine, the deworming and the record, at one price.
199 AED
Start from what your pet needs this week, not from which organisation you would rather deal with.
If the answer is yes, close the comparisons. A sick or hurting animal needs seeing today; the cost conversation belongs after that.
If it is a document, start from the official channels of the body that issues it. Come to us for the veterinary parts you are asked to supply — microchip, vaccination record.
If it is not — a street cat, an animal nobody owns — check the official channels of the responsible authority first. How that is arranged is theirs to set out, not ours.
If you have heard of a public programme, ask the authority directly what it offers and to whom. What somebody used last season is not a source; neither are we.
Bloods, imaging, dentistry and surgery all depend on somebody holding the record between visits. Ours is a file we keep; ask whoever you use how they keep theirs.
Send us what is happening on WhatsApp. If we are not the right source for it, we will say so rather than book an appointment to find out.
Real clients at our clinic in Al Quoz 3 — the appointments, the waiting area and the consultation room this page is describing.
A clinic page that confidently described the public option — its scope, its fees, its timings — would be describing something it has no standing to describe, and would be doing it to look better by comparison. We are not going to do that. Here is what we leave to the authority, and why you should take it from them rather than from us.
In many cities the question never comes up. In Dubai it comes up constantly, and the reasons have more to do with the city than with either option.
They bring an assumption about how public and private care divide up, formed somewhere else. Worth checking at source rather than carrying it across unexamined.
Requirements, fees and schedules on the official side are set by the authority and revised there. Anyone relaying them — a clinic, a neighbour, a forum — is relaying a snapshot.
Cost is hard to compare here because prices are not always published. Ours are, in full, which makes one half of your sum a fixed number.
On our side: same-day appointments and an emergency line answered 24/7. For any other timings, ask through the relevant official channels before you drive.
Travel certificates, boarding records and renewals bunch into the same weeks before people leave. Whichever route you take, starting early is the only thing that reliably helps.
Residents here change villa, emirate and clinic, and a pet's history is the first thing lost. Ask whoever you use for a copy of the file — ours is yours on request.
Services, fees and schedules on the official side are set by Dubai Municipality and can change without notice, and this page does not describe them. For that side use the authority's own channels; this page covers ours.
These four come up again and again, and in each the deciding factor is what your pet needs, not which organisation you prefer. Set the question aside the moment your animal is genuinely unwell — that case has one answer.
Each of these starts as a reasonable decision made with incomplete information.
It varies widely between clinics, which is precisely why we publish ours. At Petbook a consultation is <strong>AED 120</strong>, a vaccination package is <strong>AED 199</strong>, and a single viral vaccine is <strong>AED 80</strong>. Anything beyond that — imaging, laboratory work, surgery — depends on the animal and the case, so we quote it after the examination rather than guessing on a web page. Ask any clinic for the cost before the work starts. Ours are all on the vet prices page, and we will confirm any of them on WhatsApp before you book.
That question comes from human healthcare and does not map neatly onto veterinary care here, which is what makes it worth answering. What is subsidised, what is free, and when, is set and published by the authority — we are not the source for it, and a figure printed on a clinic page would be out of date before long. Ask through their own channels. Our side is fixed and published: a consultation at Petbook is <strong>AED 120</strong> and a vaccination package is <strong>AED 199</strong>.
Cheap is the wrong axis to judge it on. Plain dry food and clean water in the shade costs least and causes the fewest problems; milk, cooked bones and salted human leftovers are best avoided, and through a Dubai summer the water matters more than the food. The larger point is that feeding a colony without neutering it grows the colony, so the cats you feed this year become a much bigger commitment next year for whoever is still feeding them. Neutering programmes, and who runs them, are not ours to describe — check the official channels of the responsible authority for what applies where you live. If a cat you feed looks unwell and you can bring it in safely, we will look at it.
Sharjah is a separate emirate with its own municipality, its own arrangements and its own fees, so nothing on this page carries across — ask Sharjah Municipality directly for what it currently offers and to whom. That is the wider point as well: each emirate sets its own arrangements, and what a friend used in another one is not a guide to yours. If you live in Dubai, take the official side from Dubai Municipality's own channels. What we can tell you is our side: a consultation at Petbook in Al Quoz 3 is <strong>AED 120</strong>.
We are a private clinic in Dubai and cannot speak for what exists in Sharjah — ask Sharjah Municipality and the animal welfare organisations working there, and take their current answer over anyone's summary of it. The same applies in Dubai: what is available on the official side at any given time is published by the authority, not by us. Our own figures do not move without being updated here — a consultation is <strong>AED 120</strong> and a vaccination package is <strong>AED 199</strong> — and if you tell us what you need, we will say plainly whether it is something you should be asking them about instead.
Tell us what your pet needs — we confirm on WhatsApp right away. Emergencies are answered 24/7 on +971 54 888 3686.
Book in 30 seconds on WhatsApp, or call and a real person answers.
